Sorting
A sorting operation in which the picked items are divided according to their destination (by customer or geographical area). It can be done at the same time as picking by depositing the items in different containers according to the destination. Alternatively, it can be deferred and performed in a second phase, after all the picking operations to fulfil the order have been completed and can be achieved manually or automatically using conveyor belts.
