In this article, INTECH GROUP will provide detailed information on the structure, operating principles and practical applications of the product classification system, helping businesses choose the most suitable solution.

1. What is a product classification system?

A product classification system is an automated solution in the material handling process, helping to classify products quickly and accurately based on criteria such as weight, size, color, barcode (production batch, production date, model), delivery location and many other important information.

This system works by scanning, identifying product characteristics, then automatically assigning appropriate storage locations in the warehouse, and updating information into the management system, helping businesses optimize operations and control goods more effectively.

2. Outstanding features of the product classification system

Thanks to the application of machine vision technology and product inspection cameras, the system can identify and classify according to many criteria such as size, weight, color, shape.

Products before packaging are guaranteed to be accurate in size and weight, in accordance with production standards. All classification data will be recorded and stored in the system, supporting businesses in tracking, tracing origin, and optimizing operations.

3. Structure of the product classification system

The product classification system has different structures and structures depending on the needs, technology, and applications of each type of classification. Below are the basic components that make up the product classification system:

Conveyor

The conveyor is an important part of the product classification system. It has the function of transporting products from one location to another, helping to bring the product that needs to be sorted to the correct required location.

Chain transmission

The chain transmission includes transmission parts that are linked together, forming a complete transmission system. This part includes chains and sprockets, which help transmit motion from engines such as motors, gearboxes, etc.

Pneumatic pistons and pneumatic valves

Pneumatic pistons: This device ensures that the pressure and flow of compressed air are always stable, thereby helping the system operate effectively.

Pneumatic valves: Pneumatic valves are used to control the flow of compressed air, helping to open or close the air flow, adjust the pressure, and change the direction of air in the system.

Sensors

Sensors play an important role in detecting and measuring product parameters such as size, shape, weight, and color. Sensors help the system to classify products automatically and accurately according to pre-set criteria.

Motor

There are many types of motors used in sorting systems, including electric motors, pneumatic cylinder motors, and hydraulic motors. Choosing the right motor depends on the application and requirements of the product to be sorted, as well as the design of the production line.

Product Sorting Clusters

Product sorting clusters help sort products based on pre-programmed criteria, such as size, weight, or shape, ensuring that products are sorted accurately and efficiently according to the requirements of each order or production process.

4. Outstanding advantages of the automatic product classification system

• The application of the automatic product classification system helps businesses optimize production processes and warehouse management with many outstanding benefits:

• The system helps classify products quickly and accurately, reducing order search time.

• Automating the process helps businesses cut personnel costs and optimize operating costs.

• Thanks to smart recognition technology, the classification error rate is almost 0, helping to improve service quality and reduce the situation of wrong delivery.

• The modern classification system does not take up too much space, suitable for all factory sizes.

• The system can operate 24/7, not affected by the number of shifts or employee performance.

• The system accurately tracks inventory, avoiding shortages or overstocking, helping businesses control their supply sources well.

• The data is completely digitized, making it easy for businesses to access and control order information.

5. The role of the product classification system in the production process

Reduce errors and increase productivity

With the ability to operate stably, this system ensures continuity in work, helps increase productivity and achieve high accuracy in classifying goods. In particular, the product classification system plays an important role in building a smart warehouse.

Perform complex and continuous operations

The product picking and sorting machine is equipped with advanced force sensors, allowing complex production processes to be performed accurately and efficiently. The machine is capable of continuously collecting data and improving the process, helping to optimize the production line.

Cost savings and material optimization

One of the major benefits of an automatic product sorting system is its ability to reduce labor dependence, minimize material waste, and optimize the use of input materials, contributing to saving production costs.

Improve business competitiveness

The inspection process is strictly implemented, ensuring the quality of output products, helping businesses provide perfect export products, thereby increasing their competitive position in the market.

Easy installation and integration with other systems

The quick installation process helps reduce configuration time and optimize the production line. Moreover, this system can flexibly integrate with other types of robots, easily controlled at non-fixed positions, meeting the diverse needs of each business.

6. Most popular product sorting systems in 2025

Barcode product sorting system

Barcode or QR code sorting system helps to sort products based on details such as production batch, production date and model. Automatic barcode sorting system is 3-5 times more efficient than manual barcode scanning method, can process up to 10,000 products/hour.

Product sorting system by weight

Product sorting system by weight is mainly applied in industries such as food, seafood and agricultural products to ensure product quality and size according to predetermined weight criteria.

Product sorting system by color

Using vision and camera technology, the color sorting system helps to classify products based on color characteristics. With the use of high-resolution cameras and image processing technology, this system can achieve productivity from 0.8 to 1.5 tons/hour and ensure accuracy over 99%.

Size Sorting System

Size sorting system helps to sort products based on length, width and height criteria effectively in the food, agricultural and fruit industries. This system operates with high precision and can process 3-5 tons/hour, equivalent to 1000-1100 products/minute, bringing outstanding efficiency and productivity.
