A streamlined parcel processing
A sorter delivers loose-loaded parcels from induction on the receiving docks directly to runout destinations on the dispatch docks, located at the opposite side of the facility. The system scans standard bar codes printed on paper labels on any one of five sides of a parcel for tracking and destination purposes.
Two types of omni-directional laser scanners are installed. All scanners are fixed on industrial grade extruded aluminium frames, mounted over the induction conveyors to initially scan bar codes on two sides of the parcels. Scanners mounted directly over the sorter cells moving at very high speeds handle the remaining three sides.
The system has a modular approach to bar code scanning, as well as a patented non-mechanical auto focus function designed to maximise uptime and reduce or eliminate downtime due to mechanical failures. The modular concept also allows maximum reading area coverage on all five sides of the parcels.
