The ProLogix Sortation Control system by Hytrol

Norpak Handling is proud to supply Hytrol solutions in Canada as an Integration Partner – like the innovative ProLogix Sortation Control package. Used primarily to control sorting equipment and keep items in their correct sortation lanes, this is one of many Hytrol control systems that enable better, more efficient automation.

Tested and proven in a broad range of sorting applications, from manufacturing to distribution, the ProLogix system has an automated design that offers consistent, hands-free monitoring, which pushes for optimal performance.

Standalone control for any sorter

The ProLogix Sortation Control system works with various Hytrol ProSort models of sorting equipment, like the 100, the 200, the 400, and the SC, as well as the ViperSort. Customers can integrate ProLogix seamlessly into all of these systems to get standalone control for any individual sorter. In addition, this system can work easily with existing sorting systems because it can accept data from such devices as PLCs, bar-code scanners, and computers.

A major feature of this Sortation Control package is its unique ability to track products until they are diverted and then send confirmation of the diversion back to the system. ProLogix can also control the in-feed area, as well as all devices on the sorter, diversion verification, and lane full detection on single or double-sided sorters.

Hytrol has designed the ProLogix system to optimize automation and, as a result, lower the user’s work significantly. It is easy to install and work with, which reduces human error and the need for constant monitoring. Other major features and advantages:

• easy setup and calibration;
• ability to confirm appropriate gaps between items;
• collaboration with scanners or host computers;
• dependable item tracking;
• diversion confirmation and host notification;
• detection of full lane and lane jams;
• interactive screens;
• built-in diagnostics; and
• remote assistance through modems.

For decades, Hytrol has earned a glowing reputation as a leading innovator in material-handling systems, accessories, controls, and services, with substantial contributions to industry all over the world. Norpak brings these groundbreaking solutions to Canadian businesses, bringing high value to customers while adding installation, maintenance, implementation, and repair services.
