Tompkins Robotics’ unrivaled Induction Lift increases induction point possibilities.
Innovation is at the heart of everything we do at Tompkins Robotics and our sortation solutions are proof of our continued commitment to it. We are proud to introduce our newest industry solution, the Induction Lift. Our new Induction Lift is brought to life by world-class R&D and further enhances the market’s most flexible sortation system.
The Induction Lift allows a manual operator to ergonomically induct to a multi-level system. This creates operational conditions that are comfortable for longer periods. Each lift can perform at 600+ cycles per hour delivering operator induction rates of 1,200 UPH with a 2-lift induction station. The Induction Lift can go up to 5 sortation levels high further reducing the footprint of a traditional two level tSort system.
The Induction Lift along with our xChange solution creates a new capability for fulfillment and sortation, by taking a one-level sortation system to greater heights. When integrated, the Induction Lift and xChange can take a system with 1,000 sort destinations from 1 level to 4 levels with 2,000 destinations and reduce the need for additional space by 45%. It’s now possible to generate more volume in a single system as tSort robots can be spread across more surface area. This allows greater throughput capabilities and creates larger batch pick opportunities for an order fulfillment system.

The Induction Lift creates operational conditions that are comfortable for longer periods.
The Induction Lift is low cost, can be deployed quickly and provide better fulfillment control. This gives you the industry’s quickest ROI in robotics sortation.
The Induction Lift paired with xChange can take a system with 1,000 sort destinations from 1 level to 4 levels with 2,000 destinations and reduce the need for additional space.
The Induction Lift can go up to 5 levels high meaning adding levels doesn’t require a system to take up more space.
State-of-the-art safety features are built in meaning the Induction Lift does not move until the operator’s hands retract out of the light curtain entrance.
Coupled with the unique tSort system or xChange allows the typical 2 level tSort to go to up to 5 levels high. Adding levels and capacity is significantly increased.
