Automating a Labor-Heavy Sorting Process With Robotics

Northshore Distribution relied on a manual sortation line requiring six operators per shift. The process was slow, inconsistent, and prone to human error — especially during peak load.
S&G Engineering designed a compact robotic cell integrating a 6-axis arm, machine vision, and dynamic conveyor tracking.

The solution reduced labour strain, increased throughput by 40%, and improved accuracy across all SKUs.
Our team handled mechanical fabrication, programming, guarding design, and commissioning, ensuring the system was production-ready with no disruption to existing workflow.
