In conversation with: Till Zupancic
Director Corporate and Business Development FATH GmbH; Managing Director Flowsort BV
The Flowsort portfolio is aimed at intralogistics
system integrators and conveyor builders. That
is new. How does Flowsort fit into the FATH
Ecosystem?
these is becoming increasingly limited - and more
expensive, especially in urban areas. Furthermore,
in today's VUCA world, business processes are
changing faster and faster, which means that the
underlying processes in distribution centers and
warehouse facilities need to be adapted more and
more frequently. With Flowsort's modular sorting
modules, we meet the demand for maximum
flexibility and overcome many other challenges.
Till: Our goal is to offer customers around the
world state-of-the-art solutions that bring more
efficiency to industrial processes – SOLUTIONS
FOR INDUSTRIAL ECOSYSTEMS. To achieve
this, we take a close look at the markets and the
prevailing environmental conditions.
We have
already achieved a great deal in this respect on
the industrial shopfloor. Now we want to make our
solutions accessible to other sectors as well. For
us, Flowsort is the perfect entry into the rapidly
growing intralogistics sector – and customers can
benefit from the full range of the FATH Ecosystem.

customers require new automation technologies
with scaled-down, more flexible and uncomplicated
solutions to address these challenges.
Flow describes the mental state feeling in
which a person performing some activity is fully
immersed with energized focus, full involvement,
and enjoyment in the process of the activity.
Why did FATH choose Flowsort?

The exciting thing about Flowsort is
What exactly are these challenges?
that we take an “open interface” approach. This
means that the connection of the Flowsort modules
works plug&play with all other surrounding
technologies. The approach is radically different
from that taken by competitors. They often try to
bring more integrated systems to the market. As

packages, for example, have to be sorted every
day and sent to countless different destinations.
Recipients in metropolitan areas expect lightningfast deliveries, which requires local logistics
centers. At the same time, however, space for
