SmartPocket: a scalable, flexible pocket sorter built to grow with your business

SmartPocket is TGW Logistics’ pocket sorter designed to deliver a unique combination of efficiency, flexibility, and scalability. Unlike conventional systems, where each pocket is fixed to a full overhead conveyor, SmartPocket uses autonomous and intelligent robots that move independently along intersecting rails. This architecture allows the system to be adapted quickly, configurations to be modified, and capacity to be expanded without interruptions, making it an ideal solution for growing businesses.

The system avoids the usual issues of traditional pocket sorters, which are often oversized for peak demand and waste potential during off‑peak periods. SmartPocket, on the other hand, automatically adjusts its performance, reroutes carriers to prevent congestion, and keeps operations running even if one carrier fails, ensuring maximum efficiency and minimal downtime.

Its plug‑and‑play approach enables the installation to become operational in just six months, reducing commissioning times and associated costs. In addition, its modular design makes it easy to add components as volumes increase or business needs change, reducing both capital investment and recurring expenses.

SmartPocket is versatile across different channels, from ecommerce to retail, and adapts to any order profile. Thanks to its optimized flow, it speeds up processes, shortens lead times, and improves fulfillment reliability, strengthening the company’s reputation. With 24/7 support, this solution provides a highly adaptable logistics platform that evolves with market demands and ensures long‑term competitiveness.
