What Is DAS?

DAS (Digital Assorting System) is a system that uses LED indicators to guide workers on sorting locations and quantities. It supports intuitive sorting operations through a Put-to-Light method.

How It Works

  • Scan the product barcode
  • The LED on the assigned cell lights up
  • The worker places the product in the lit cell
  • Press the confirmation button and the LED turns off

    • DAS vs. Sorter

    Advantages of DAS

  • Initial investment cost is 70% or less compared to sorters
  • Easy to install and relocate
  • Can handle products of various sizes

    • Advantages of Sorter

  • Suitable for high-volume processing (tens of thousands per hour)
  • Fully automated, requiring no labor

    • Expected Benefits

  • Sorting accuracy of 99.9% achieved
  • Work speed improved by 2x
  • New worker training time reduced by 80%
  • Claims due to sorting errors reduced by 95%

    • Conclusion
