Misrouting Incidents
The Challenge
Delhivery's sortation hubs utilized hardware from multiple vendors (Nido, Falcon, Grey Orange), each running proprietary Warehouse Control Systems (WCS). Adjusting sort plans required logging into each vendor interface separately, taking 30-45 minutes of downtime. Misconfigurations often caused misrouting of thousands of packages.
Our Solution
CAN Tech designed and built the Centralized Sorter Configuration System (CSCS). CSCS acts as an abstraction layer above the vendor systems. It exposes a single, validated API Gateway that unifies downstream WCS runtimes, validates input rules deterministically, and supports zero-downtime, mid-shift hot-reloading of sort plans.
Technical Architecture
Technical Architecture & Configuration Schema
CSCS middleware aggregates operational rules and hot-reloads them over WCS runtimes. The configuration payload maps routing rules across multi-vendor cross-belt controllers.

}Key UI/UX & System Elements
Unified Sort Plan Management
A single validated control interface to load-balance volumes and map pincodes to output chutes.
Deterministic Rules Validator
Prevents pincode collisions and invalid chute mappings at the entry point to eliminate misrouting.
Audit and Hot-Reload Logs
A tamper-proof ledger of all configuration pushes with instant rollback capabilities.
