Aug. 28, 2025 – ISD - Integrated Systems Design has announced the Robotic 3D Sorter Mini-Putwall System, an advanced sortation solution that transforms warehouse operations through its innovative three-dimensional design. The system delivers impressive metrics including 70% labor savings and return on investment in under a year.
The 3D Sorter Mini-Putwall utilizes both vertical and horizontal space to minimize footprint while maximizing sortation capabilities. With a throughput of up to 1,500 pieces per hour and 3 to 5 times greater sorting efficiency compared to manual methods, the system addresses critical challenges facing modern warehouses.
"What makes the 3D Sorter Mini-Putwall truly exceptional is its ability to deliver enterprise-level sortation performance in a compact footprint," said Ed Romaine, VP Marketing and Business Development at ISD. "We're seeing clients achieve dramatic improvements in efficiency while significantly reducing labor costs. This system represents a fundamental shift in how warehouses approach the entire sortation process."
The system's intelligent design accommodates up to 100 customizable sort positions and integrates seamlessly with existing warehouse technologies, including Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMRs), Automated Storage and Retrieval Systems (ASRS), conveyor systems and shelving solutions.
By automating the sortation process, operations can significantly reduce reliance on manual labor while processing items at previously unattainable rates in comparable spaces. The combination of labor savings, improved throughput and reduced error rates contributes to the system's notably fast return on investment.
In today's competitive real estate market, the 3D Sorter Mini-Putwall addresses space constraints through vertical design, requiring significantly less floor area than traditional sorting systems. Its modular, customizable configuration makes it ideal for operations experiencing seasonal fluctuations in demand.
The system features advanced intelligence with seamless integration capabilities for major Warehouse Management Systems, Warehouse Execution Systems and Enterprise Resource Planning platforms. Despite its sophisticated technology, the 3D Sorter Mini-Putwall is designed for rapid deployment with minimal training requirements.
Its versatility makes it suitable for diverse applications across numerous sectors including e-commerce, apparel and footwear, third-party logistics, healthcare and manufacturing. The underlying technology includes high-speed sorting robots operating at 1.0 m/s with vertical lifting ranges from 500mm to 2100mm, intelligent routing and gentle handling through high-friction conveyor belts.
As warehouses face increasing pressure to process more orders faster while controlling costs, solutions like the Robotic 3D Sorter Mini-Putwall System represent essential technology for competitive operations. The system's combination of space efficiency, labor savings and cross-industry adaptability positions it as a key advancement in warehouse automation.
