SORTING & SEGREGATION
SERVICES.

When suspect parts are mixed into good stock, everything stops.

You can't ship, you can't build, and every hour of uncertainty costs you money and credibility with your customer. You need clean, certified stock separated from the bad — fast, and without pulling your own people off the line.

What We Do

GOOD STOCK BACK,
SUSPECT STOCK OUT.

PLI deploys experienced sorting teams that separate conforming parts from non-conforming ones and give you a documented, accurate count you can act on. We sort at your facility, at your supplier, at your customer's location, or at a PLI center — wherever the problem lives.

The goal is simple: get you back to shipping good product with confidence.

An accurate count you can act on — not an estimate you have to defend.

A SORT IS ONLY AS
GOOD AS ITS COUNT.

Anyone can separate two piles. What your customer wants is the number — how many were checked, how many failed, and what happened to them.

We staff to the volume in front of us and scale the crew up or down as it changes, so the sort finishes on your timeline rather than ours.

Common Questions

WHAT BUYERS ASK
BEFORE THEY CALL.

How fast can PLI start a sort?

Same-day mobilization; at locations we already support, typical containment is 2 to 4 hours.

Can you sort at our supplier's site?

Yes, at your facility, your supplier, your customer's location, or a PLI center.

Do we get documentation?

Yes, counts, defect rates, and disposition in a usable reporting format.

What's the difference between sorting and containment?

Sorting separates good product from suspect; containment protects your customer while the issue is resolved. Many projects use both.

What industries do you work in?

Automotive, appliance, industrial, and consumer products, among others.
