Sorting technology for stable processes in small series
Unsorted components, changing series, and tight cycle times lead to scrap, downtime, and higher staffing efforts in many companies. At gKteso, we develop sorting technology that automatically detects parts, precisely aligns them, and seamlessly transfers them to the next work step.
How gKteso's sorting technology works
Our sorting technology can be integrated into the modular assembly cell or used as a standalone unit. It handles all steps from detection to precise positioning.
Structure of the sorting unit
- Camera-based detection: The system identifies each part by shape, position, and variant, and automatically calls up the suitable program.
- Automatic positioning: A robot or handling system places the part at the next station in a defined position.
- Seamless integration: The sorting unit directly integrates into existing assembly lines or conveyor systems.
Detection, positioning, and transfer interlock precisely and process your parts without interruption in a consistent cycle.
Our services around sorting technology
- Process analysis on-site
We examine material flow, analyze cycle losses, and identify bottlenecks. Based on this, we develop a concept that optimally integrates the sorting into your production. - Individual design
We build each system according to the dimensions, variants, and batch sizes of your components. This ensures that the technology operates across different series without adjustments. - Manufacture and test run
We assemble the sorting unit in our plant and test it with your original components. This ensures all processes function smoothly before delivery. - Integration and training
Our technicians install the system in your production and integrate it into existing systems. Your team receives targeted training to immediately use the system productively. - Service and expansion
We supply spare parts and perform software updates. For new products, we adapt the technology so you can continue operating without rebuilding.
Sorting technology as a key for uninterrupted production
Many older sorting systems operate rigidly and are sensitive to small changes in components. Even deviations lead to congestion, manual interventions and cycle losses. In small series, these interruptions quickly add up to hours per week.
gKteso’s sorting technology automatically detects each part, independently selects the appropriate program, and precisely positions it for the next work step. It reduces setup times to a few minutes, prevents incorrect settings through automatic detection, and ensures stable output even with several variant changes per day.
This is how your business benefits in production everyday life
Quick product changes
The system automatically detects new components and switches itself. A change takes less than five minutes, so your line runs without interruption.
Less waste
Cameras and sensors inspect each part at the feed stage. Faulty components do not enter assembly, preventing rework and material loss.
Lower staffing effort
Your employees no longer have to actively sort. They monitor the sorting technology process and can simultaneously carry out other productive tasks.
Compact integration
The unit requires only little space and can be added to existing workstations. This way, you can use the technology even in confined conditions without additional hall space.

FAQ: Frequently asked questions about sorting technology
Which components can the sorting technology process?
Is the sorting technology suitable for existing lines?
How do I switch to a new variant?
What cycle times are possible?
Depending on component size and requirements, our systems achieve several hundred parts per hour. The quality remains constant even at high speeds. Through integrated control during sorting, the risk of defective parts is minimized. Thus, you combine high output with process reliability.
