Automation must work – every day, under real-world conditions.
With more than 100 adapter-based sorting systems installed worldwide, DFT has proven its technology in continuous industrial operation.
Whether for e-commerce, store replenishment, or multichannel logistics: millions of adapters and bag systems in use demonstrate that hanging sorting solutions are not only scalable but also deliver stable performance over the long term. Standardized components, modular expandability, and a proven service concept ensure that systems can grow predictably and maintain reliable performance.
At the same time, new performance benchmarks – up to 12,000 adapters per hour per module – set the pace for modern fulfillment processes: faster, more efficient, and more resilient to fluctuating volumes.


Read the full article to find out what “Proven 100 Times” is all about, what specific operational benefits it offers, and why hanging sorters are now considered a strategic backbone of fulfillment.
