Tight integration for higher capacity with fewer trucks
To deliver a paradigm-shift to handle a growing volume of parcels, UK Mail’s purpose-built hub combines fully automated parcel processing with integrated yard management. This not only increases sorting speed, but also reduces the number of trucks.
As one of the UK’s leading integrated postal operators, the speed and flexibility provided by automated sortation enables UK Mail to extend cut-off time for next-day delivery parcels. It also ensures an agile response to future increases in demand.
The ease with which the sorter handles parcels across an extensive range of shapes and sizes streamlines the sortation process. A single sorter is able to manage items which weigh from 100 grams up to 49 kilograms and which have a height of just ten millimetres or a length of 1,395 millimetres. A higher percentage of parcels are handled through the automated sorting system to ensure a fast throughput. Items which are detected as being out-of-gauge, out-of-size and out-of-weight, are discharged automatically for manual handling.
