The OPEX Sure Sort Sortation Connector provides integration of the OPEX Sure Sort system to the SOFTBOT Platform. Complete management of the TCP connection with Sure Sort is accounted for as well as all north and southbound messages. The connector will handle all requests and instructions related to inducted item sortation as well as machine state and PTL updates. This level of connection enables Sure Sort to be deployed within workflows such as batch picking to sortation for packout with the appropriate SOFTBOT features to manage logical operations between upstream host systems and picking technologies and the Sure Sort Connector.
