How Lyngsoe Sort Mate™ 2000 Works: Modules, Customization and Integration

Modular Design for Maximum Flexibility

Lyngsoe Sort Mate™ 2000’s modular design adapts to suit any library, from small branches to large university campuses. Its compact design fits even the most unusual spaces and modules can be added, removed, or reconfigured as required, making it easy to scale as your library grows.

Sort Mate combines advanced software and hardware to make sorting fast, accurate, and effortless. Precision-controlled sorting technology ensures quiet, reliable performance day-in, day-out with minimal maintenance.

Customizable Sorting Destinations

Choose from a range of sorting destinations, including ergonomic carts and stationary bulk modules, to match your library’s workflow. The system’s user-friendly interface makes updates and reconfigurations simple, and integration with optional Turn Table technology enables you to align items perfectly for sorting.

Every item is directed exactly where it belongs, optimizing space, reducing manual adjustments, and supporting stable, safe stacking, even for smaller items like DVDs and CDs.

Flexible Induction Options

Sort Mate offers a range of flexible induction solutions to suit your library’s workflow. From the very first point of contact – where materials enter the system – to their final placement on shelves, the system provides options tailored to your needs. Choose from self-service stations and staffed positions to ensure every item moves efficiently through the sorter. These configurable options streamline sorting, reduce manual handling, and maximize efficiency.

Seamless Integration for Every Library

Sort Mate is built to adapt to your library’s unique needs. Its modular design allows you to choose from a variety of destinations, giving you the ability to create a solution that aligns perfectly with your workflow.

Integration with your integrated library system (ILS) or library management system (LMS) ensures the sorter works seamlessly with your library’s existing infrastructure, automating processes and maximizing efficiency.

You can further enhance your material flow with a range of optional add-on modules:

• Conveyors automate the horizontal movement of materials across the sorting area, reducing manual handling and increasing throughput
• Elevations transport sorted materials between floors or levels, enabling efficient use of vertical space
• Split Chutes direct items accurately to multiple destinations, supporting faster returns and holds fulfilment
• Lyngsoe Automatic Tote Stacker™ builds stacks of totes at the touch of a button, eliminating heavy, manual lifting
• Lyngsoe BISR™ tracks and categorizes items intelligently, enhancing sorting accuracy and operational efficiency

With these add-ons, your Sort Mate system can be fully tailored to your library’s needs, creating a modern, efficient workflow that transforms your library for both staff and patrons.
