How Long Does It Take to Deploy a Sorting System? The Full Timeline
How soon can a sorting system run? The full path from site survey to go-live, and what affects delivery time.
The Short Answer
Deployment depends on equipment and site. Tegene 3D Sorter, 3D Sorter M and 3D Sorter X have a standard two-week installation cycle; 3D Sorter E takes 30-45 days. The Beijing cold-chain case was deployed in 7 days.
From Survey to Go-Live
A complete delivery typically includes these stages:
- Site survey: confirm area, height, flow, volume and destinations.
- Solution configuration: decide model, chutes, induction stations and interfaces.
- Installation and commissioning: install, tune scanning/induction and integrate WMS.
- Training and go-live: operator training, then production.
Factors Affecting the Timeline
Equipment complexity (all-in-one takes longer than base), chute and induction counts, site modification, integration depth and on-site coordination all affect delivery. Mapping interfaces and site information early can meaningfully shorten the timeline.
