Sorting & assembly

Sorting & Assembly Services

Acceptance-criteria-driven sorting, light assembly, labeling, pack-out, and verification support for real production workflows.

SSI is the practical overflow, recovery, and execution partner for outsourced sorting and light assembly work that needs clear criteria, disciplined handling, and predictable output.

Fastest start: send photos, pass/fail criteria, assembly or pack-out instructions, quantities, timing, and any traceability or label requirements.

Services

Sorting and assembly, scoped to be bought quickly

Whether the job is containment sorting or light assembly and pack-out, SSI scopes the handling, checks, traceability, and communication up front.

Sorting

SSI runs sorting work from customer-defined acceptance criteria, documented checks, and scoped handling instructions instead of ad hoc operator judgment.

  • Pass/fail separation from defined acceptance criteria
  • Mixed-part separation, defect removal, and containment
  • Verification steps matched to the job scope
  • Traceability or logging when the workflow requires it
Best fit for mixed parts, suspect lots, overflow work, recovery jobs, and acceptance-based separation.

Assembly

SSI scopes light assembly programs around the build sequence, labels, verification steps, and finished-output requirements that define a completed handoff.

  • Kitting, light assembly, and pack-out workflows
  • Label application and component-to-output verification
  • Count, scan, or weight verification as scoped
  • Repack, relabel, and organized finished-output handling
Best fit for kitting, light subassembly, relabel work, outsourced assembly steps, and labor-heavy repack or pack-out programs.
Fit

Best fit, and where to route something else

This page should help you qualify the work quickly. SSI is a strong fit when the job has defined criteria, a controlled handoff, and labor-heavy execution that still needs predictable output.

Best fit

  • Containment sorting and suspect-lot cleanup
  • Mixed-part separation, defect removal, and recovery work
  • Kitting, light subassembly, relabel, and repack programs
  • Jobs that need defined checks, output control, and traceability

Not the best fit

  • Undefined jobs with no pass/fail, build, or output criteria
  • Complex product design or heavy custom manufacturing programs
  • Projects better solved by a new SSI automation platform instead of outsourced execution work
  • Work that cannot be documented, verified, or handed off cleanly
If the job falls between buckets, send photos and the shortest useful brief. SSI can help decide whether it belongs in sorting, assembly, CNC machining, or a new automation project.
Proof

Sorting, verification, assembly, labeling, and finished output in real workflow

SSI supports overflow, recovery, sorting, and assembly work where incoming material is mixed, variable, or labor-heavy but the output still needs to be controlled, documented, and predictable.

Control

How SSI keeps the work controlled

This is the trust question. The work starts with criteria, handling instructions, and output requirements so the team is executing a defined process, not improvising on the floor.

Defined acceptance criteria

Each job starts with clear pass/fail rules, assembly instructions, label requirements, and scope boundaries.

Documented handling and verification

Sorting, assembly, labeling, and verification steps are matched to the workflow and documented as part of execution.

Traceability when required

Lot, date, scan, count, or log requirements can be included when the customer or workflow needs a record trail.

Clear communication from quote through completion

SSI confirms routing, follows up on missing details, and keeps expectations clear from quote review through final output.

Fast quote

What to send first

You do not need a long brief. A short summary plus files is enough to start routing and quote follow-up.

The request form accepts part photos, prints, spreadsheets, and short MP4 or MOV clips.

For sorting

  • Part photos or samples
  • Pass/fail definition
  • Volume and timing
  • Packaging requirements after sorting
  • Lot, date, scan, or log needs

For assembly

  • BOM, part list, or kit contents
  • Assembly sequence or work instructions
  • Labels, pack format, and finished-output requirements
  • Quantities and timeline
  • Required checks, traceability, or handoff expectations
Not sure which bucket the job fits? Send photos, quantities, timing, and whatever criteria you have. SSI will route the request and follow up on the missing details.
After submission

What happens next

Your request is reviewed, routed, and followed up with practical next steps instead of disappearing into a black box.

Review and routing confirmation

SSI reviews the request, confirms routing, and acknowledges the job by email.

Requirements follow-up

We follow up on criteria, assembly details, timing, and any missing files or workflow constraints.

Next steps and proposal timing

SSI provides the recommended next step, including proposal timing when the scope is ready to quote.
