A leading Courier Express Parcel company faced challenges with space constraints and the need for efficient processing of air bound packages. The company sought a solution that could fit within their limited footprint while improving processing speed and accuracy. The Capella Mini Dual Induct Dimensioning and Weighing System was identified as the ideal solution.
Objectives
1. Optimize Space Utilization: Implement a compact system to fit within the limited available floor space.
2. Increase Throughput: Achieve a high processing rate of 2400 packages per hour.
3. Improve Accuracy: Ensure precise measurement of parcel dimensions and weight.
4. Enhance Operational Efficiency: Streamline the parcel handling process with minimal manual intervention.
System Design and Implementation
System Components:
- Dual Induct Stations: Two induction points for simultaneous package processing by two operators.
- Carriage belt System: Compact carriage belts to transport parcels through the measurement process.
