Post Danmark achieves 100 percent automated parcel sorting

If parcels are automatically sorted at larger hubs but manually processed at smaller ones, how do you capture all parcel data to take maximum advantage of what automation can do to improve productivity? The answer is talk to the automation specialists at Prime Vision, because that is exactly what they have achieved for Post Danmark.
Although 98 percent of Post Danmark’s parcel volumes are sorted automatically at its two main hubs, its smaller regional centres rely on manual processing. Full automation was a step too far but nevertheless it was clear that 100 percent visibility of parcels could certainly save processing time and costs.
The Prime Vision solution is a tailored version of its PROCESS-IT data-capture workstation, which is now installed at all Post Danmark regional centres. Each is linked to the central Prime Vision ParcelMatch platform so that all parcel data is processed in exactly the same way. As a result every parcel can be centrally processed by OCR and video coding, and appear in the parcel image archive. In effect the whole network has become a nationwide ParcelMatch system.
The PROCESS-IT workstation has a hand-held, high-resolution imager to capture address label data. This is then sent to the central system, which provides enhanced processing capability.
This Prime Vision solution has also been installed at the main hubs. It captures data from the two percent of parcels that are either too big or too heavy to go on the sorter, resulting in 100 percent of the nationwide volume being automatically processed.
