Automated parcel sortation
BEUMER Group has won a contract to supply a fully automatic parcel sortation system to Itella Posti OY for expanded operations at its sortation centre in Lieto, Finland.
The complete parcel handling system has a capacity of 9,000 parcels per hour including weighing and volume measuring, with boom conveyors, tippers, feeding conveyors and a mix of direct and manual chutes.
The upper-level controls feature a user interface linked direct to Itella’s existing host interface and revenue protection system, as well as camera scanning and an interface to the existing OCR system. The entire system is designed to be ready for future upgrades should there be a need for further capacity.
The use of Crisplant’s energy efficient LS-4000 tilt-tray sorter will help Itella in its environmental program to cut carbon dioxide emissions.
