Letter sorting 


 

Speed and throughput are driving technology in postal automation.

SICK provides extremely sensitive and tough sensor solutions to support highest speeds and stable processes in letter sorting. To fulfill customer requirements and ensure the highest satisfaction, SICK provides standard sensors as well as customized sensor solutions.

 

Typical tasks supported:

Letter box handling (detection, identification, safety)

Letter preparation (detection, measurement, identification, verification, safety)

Letter sorting (detection, measurement, identification, safety)

Parcel and flats sorting 
 

 

The key for efficient sortation is the reliable identification of objects.  

To achieve highest efficiency SICK provides robust industry solutions for identification of objects in sorting processes from ident code scanners to complete vision systems. The sorting process is reliably supported by several hidden sensors from SICK mounted on the conveyors.

 

Typical tasks supported:

• Unloading and inbound (safety, detection, identification)

• Induction (detection, identification, measurement, safety)

• Sortation (identification, measurement, verification, detection, safety)

• Outbound and reloading (detection, identification, safety) 

Freight forwarding 

 

 

Automation is one factor driving the demand for sensor and identification solutions in this industry. As energy costs increase efficiency of capacity, utilization will become one of the most important success factors. These requirements are addressed by the wide range of SICK's product and systems portfolio.

 

Typical tasks supported:

• Unloading and inbound (safety, detection, identification)

• Transportation (identification, safety)

• Sortation (identification, measurement, verification, detection, safety)

• Outbound and reloading (detection, identification, safety)
