Faster!
It used to take the previous induction 10 seconds to induct each item.
And it required patrons to press a button to advance each item.
The C2 takes less than a second!

Quieter!
Sorter is located in a staff workspace,
the C2 is whisper quiet.

Smaller!
The previous sorter extended far into the room.
The C2 gives them 2 FEET of space back!
(They can add another sort module now giving them 5 sort destinations in the same footprint their previous 3-bin system occupied!)

Foldable Tote Shelf Option
They have option to flip up a shelf and sort Transfer items DIRECTLY into their courier totes.

All powered by and manufactured by AMH leader, Lyngsoe Library Systems (LLS). Convergent has been partnered with LLS for over a decade. In concert with the factory in Finland, Convergent works closely with the European team to bring superior solutions to Canadian libraries.
