Automated Storage and Sorting for Cosmetics, Jewelry, and Toys

Automated Storage and Sorting for Cosmetics, Jewelry, and Toys

Cosmetics, jewelry, and toy distribution involves high SKU counts, small item dimensions, frequent multi-store order runs, and a low tolerance for mis-sorts. A single sorting error across 150 store deliveries creates reconciliation work that compounds throughout the supply chain.

QDITC's integrated storage and sorting solution is designed specifically for this profile: dense storage for small items, automated outbound sorting to store-level, and a throughput capacity of 4,500 pieces per day — completing a 150-store sort run within 2.5 hours.

The system handles items weighing ≤100g and standard dimensions ≤60mm × 50mm (with a large-item lane for items ≤150mm).

Warehouse challenges

Jewelry and High-Value Small Item Challenges

Jewelry and High-Value Small Item Challenges

  • Manual sorting error rate is high for multi-store, high-frequency order runs — a single mis-sort affects the receiving store's inventory accuracy
  • Small item dimensions mean scattered storage on conventional shelving, with very low space utilization per square metre of floor area
  • Significant size variation across SKUs requires a storage system that can accommodate different dimensions without manual reslotting
  • High unit value of jewelry items requires controlled access and full retrieval traceability

Integrated solution for storage and sorting

Solutions suitable for the jewelry industry

The integrated system manages the full workflow from inbound to sorted outbound:
  • QR code scanning on every turnover box for automated inbound and outbound registration
  • Real-time inventory inquiry and reporting through the integrated management platform
  • Automated sorting to 150 destination ports, completing a full store-level sort run in 2.5 hours
  • Open interface design for future integration with upstream order management or retail platforms

Solution

1

18,750-position dense storage — fully automated retrieval

The intelligent storage unit (11m × 3m × 3.3m) provides 15 levels × 50 lanes = 18,750 storage positions, with a per-lane load capacity of 10 kg. Designed for small items ≤100g, the unit delivers full automated retrieval within the system's compact footprint.

2

150 sorting ports — 4,500 pieces sorted per day

The sorting system comprises an integrated sorting line (1m × 1.5m) and an independent line (21m × 2m × 1.5m), with 150 total sorting ports. Handles standard items ≤60mm × 50mm and large items ≤150mm. Daily capacity: 4,500 pieces, sorted to 150 destinations within 2.5 hours.

3

2 seconds per piece — outbound throughput at scale

Five lifting transfer devices drive an outbound cycle of 2 seconds per piece. At this rate, 4,500 pieces — a full day's store-distribution volume — can be processed and sorted within 2.5 hours, freeing the remainder of the operating day for inbound, replenishment, and returns processing.

Full Service

Professional Planning

QDITC maps your facility layout, SKU profile, and store distribution pattern before designing the storage and sorting configuration — ensuring capacity and throughput match your actual order volume and growth projection.

Device Interconnection

The storage unit and sorting system operate under unified software control. Order data flows from your order management platform to the system automatically, triggering retrieval and sorting without manual instruction at any stage.

Controlled Environment

For cosmetics requiring temperature or humidity controlled storage, QDITC's environmental control options can be integrated into the storage unit configuration without changing the sorting system architecture.
