It is mainly used in the retail industry for e-commerce warehouses, store fulfillment, distribution centers, and return processing.
      The four layer grid chute for small items is a gravity based three-dimensional sorting/temporary storage equipment for small items weighing ≤ 5kg. Its core values are land saving, efficiency, loss prevention, and easy management. It is mainly used in the retail industry for e-commerce warehouses, store fulfillment, distribution centers, and return processing.
1、 Core application scenario (retail industry)
1. E-commerce retail warehouse (most mainstream)
      Order seeding/sorting wall: The four level grid corresponds to different orders/delivery routes, and automatically slides into the corresponding grid after scanning the code, suitable for small items such as beauty, daily necessities, snacks, 3C accessories, etc.
      Multi category sorting: Split by category (skincare/makeup/wash care), weight, or order type to improve sorting accuracy and efficiency.
      Order temporary storage and packaging: The sorted small items are temporarily stored in the grid, and after the order is consolidated, they are packaged together to reduce secondary handling.
2. Contract fulfillment for chain supermarkets/convenience stores (store+regional warehouse)
      In store self pickup/same city flash delivery: The four level grid is divided by store/self pickup points, suitable for high-frequency small items (beverages, snacks, daily necessities), saving 75% of space and increasing personnel efficiency by three times.
      Pre storage for replenishment: After receiving the goods at the backend, they are divided into shelves/areas and stored in compartments. The frontend directly replenishes the goods, reducing the sorting path.
      Fresh/cold chain small items: equipped with anti slip buffer chutes to handle fragile products such as eggs and dairy products, reducing damage rates.
3. Beauty/Daily Chemicals/Retail Warehouse
      Sorting of high-value small pieces: cosmetics, perfume, jewelry, etc., anti scratch and anti-collision of buffer chute, and the cargo damage rate dropped below 0.1%.
      Promotion combination distribution: Automatically match samples, gifts, and formal attire into the same slot to improve distribution efficiency.
4. Clothing/footwear retail (e-commerce+store)
      Small piece clothing sorting: Light and small items such as underwear, socks, accessories, etc. are sorted by size/color/style through four layers of grids to reduce manual sorting errors.
      Quick return processing: After scanning the code, the returned goods are automatically entered into the grid and classified according to their status (sellable/defective/scrapped), accelerating the secondary sales flow.
5. Pharmaceutical/health retail (pharmacy/health product warehouse)
      Non prescription small items: cold medicine, health products, masks, etc., sorted by SKU/batch number, in compliance with GSP standards, to avoid mixing batches.
      Temperature controlled small item temporary storage: equipped with a simple temperature control area, handle healthy products that require cool storage, and ensure safe and compliant temporary storage.
6. Retail Distribution Center (Main Line+Terminal)
      Same city/community group buying sorting: Fruits and vegetables, daily small items are sorted according to the community/building grid, suitable for high-frequency small items that arrive on the same day.
      Integration of express delivery and retail: Handling e-commerce small items and store replenishment orders, with one device for two purposes, reducing venue and equipment costs.
2、 Core advantages of retail industry applications
      Land saving: Four layer three-dimensional stacking, occupying 1/4 of a single layer, increasing warehouse utilization by 300%.
      Efficient sorting: gravity self sliding, no need for power, processing 3000-8000 pieces per hour, improving efficiency by 2-4 times.
      Reduce damage and ensure quality: With buffering and anti slip design, the damage rate of small items (especially beauty, glass, and fresh produce) is significantly reduced.
      Ergonomics: The bottom layer is 800mm and the top layer is 1600mm. Standing operation does not require frequent bending and lifting of hands, reducing fatigue and work-related injuries.
      Flexible adaptation: Modular design, customizable grid size/quantity, suitable for different sizes of small items and fluctuations in order volume.
      Low cost and easy to maintain: no power components, zero power consumption, simple maintenance, and can recoup costs in 1-2 years.
3、 Typical retail application combination scheme
      E-commerce small item warehouse: four level chute+scanning code seeding wall+lighting prompt, processing beauty/daily chemical/3C, efficiency of 5000  pieces/hour.
      Supermarket Same City Fulfillment: Four layer chute+self pickup cabinet linkage, divided by store/self pickup point, suitable for high-frequency daily necessities.
      High value cosmetics warehouse: buffer anti-skid chute+independent grille, handling perfume/cosmetics, cargo damage<0.1%.
