A sortation system has a track forming a continuous loop, an article-conveying car positioned on the track and configured to move along the track, a system controller, a communication station positioned near the track for communicating with the article-conveying car and the system controller, a portable bin positioned adjacent the track, the portable bin comprising a bin communication device configured to wirelessly transmit bin status information to the article-conveying car when the car is proximate to the bin, where the article-conveying car is configured to wirelessly relay received bin status information to an off-car communication device at the communication station when the car is proximate to the communication station, and where the bin communication device is attached to the portable bin, and the portable bin is operably positionable substantially anywhere along at least a portion of the track. Additionally, the car may wirelessly transmit instructions and information to the bin.
