erotteluajo

Erotteluajo is a Finnish term formed from erottelu (separation, sorting) and ajo (drive, operation). It does not have a single universally defined meaning in general language, but rather its precise sense is determined by the technical or industry context in which it is used.

In logistics and manufacturing, erotteluajo commonly refers to the phase of a material handling or sorting process where items are guided along a path and directed toward different destinations by automated equipment such as sensors, splitters, and conveyors. The purpose is to separate products or items by characteristics like size, type, or quality for subsequent processing, packaging, or disposal.

In road traffic and civil engineering contexts, the term can describe a temporary driving arrangement that separates traffic streams, for example during construction, lane closures, or incident management. It denotes moving vehicles along different lanes or routes to maintain safety and flow.

In other technical fields, erotteluajo may be used to describe movement within a separation device or stage in a process where components are separated, such as in chemical processing or materials handling, though usage is context-specific.

Usage and interpretation of erotteluajo are largely domain-dependent, and there is no single standardized definition across all Finnish texts. For precise meaning, it is best to consult field-specific glossaries, manuals, or sources from the relevant industry. See also erottelu and related terms such as lajittelu (sorting).
