The ProSort PC Computer-Based Sortation Control System is a low cost IBM PC compatible computer system which fully controls sortation systems of virtually any complexity. ProSort software consists of a standard yet extendable set of “canned” program modules that are battle-proven at numerous existing sites. This approach benefits you with lower costs, quicker startup, no software design headaches, and the best support/maintenance utilities available. Our modular software approach guarantees a custom fit to your specific application. Featuring an operator-friendly display package, complete with an available optional touch screen unit, ProSort gives you complete real-time intelligent control, precise “as-it-happens” data recording, extensive host communications capabilities, and exhaustive maintenance aids for your sortation system.ProSort can handle virtually any style of diverter, from push-offs and pop-ups to high-speed tilt-trays and shoe-sorts. ProSort’s built-in capabilities cover a wide variety of device interfaces, including all makes of fixed position barcode readers, hand scanners, inline scales, inkjet printers, remote terminals, etc. ProSort’s graphical operator interface, especially when combined with the intuitive feel of touch screen operation, provides your operator with total control and instantaneous knowledge of the sortation operation, yet in an uncomplicated manner. At his/her fingertips are continuously updated real-time displays, charts, graphical sorter layouts with “where-they-occurred” alarm lights, and tach gauges, etc. Setup and maintenance of sorter functions, barcode decoding methods, and data recording procedures is a simple touch selection process.ProSort can handle the fastest sortation rates mechanically possible. Performance statistics, parcel counts, and by-parcel divert lists are continuously recorded on disk. Host communications is built in, using either a simple RS-232 protocol, TCP/IP socket connections, IBM client access, 3270 emulation, or alternatively an NFS or Novell LAN network interface. Intranet capabilities are available. ProSort software can be run on any standard PC hardware.

ProSort is the computational cornerstone for your complete sortation system solution.
