The box conveyor system can realize the automatic transmission and sorting of goods, greatly improving the efficiency of warehousing operations. Compared with traditional manual handling and sorting, the automated system can handle a large amount of goods in a short time, reduce order processing time, and speed up delivery. For example, during the "Double Eleven" and other e-commerce promotions, the order volume surged, and the box conveyor system can effectively cope with the peak order processing needs and ensure that the goods are shipped in time.
