Express Envelope Sorting Center

A leading logistics company required highly accurate envelope sorting in a critical hub operation with automated induction.

Before automation, the project faced these operational pressures.

• Envelope sorting depended heavily on manual work and could become a hub bottleneck
• High staff turnover increased training and management cost
• Envelope delivery requires very high accuracy that is hard to maintain manually

Tegene configured the solution around site flow, parcel profile and throughput goals.

• Used 3D Sorter E for high-density envelope and light-parcel sorting
• Added six fully automatic envelope induction machines for automated induction
• Used a dual-layer cart structure to increase cart frequency and reduce manual sorting workload

3D Sorter E and six automatic envelope induction machines let about 10 people process over 100,000 pieces per day.

• Achieved second-level sortation response, with about 10 people able to process over 100,000 pieces per day
• Reduced manual sorting workload through automatic induction and a dual-layer cart structure
• Sorting accuracy stayed above 99.99%, meeting high quality standards

3D Sorter E with automatic envelope induction supports high-density envelope sortation, enabling about 10 people to process over 100,000 pieces per day with accuracy above 99.99%.

Useful for similar industry customers, system integrators and warehouse operators evaluating sortation automation.

• Express envelope, thin parcel and small parcel sorting centers
• Hub operations requiring high delivery accuracy and stable automatic induction
• Logistics customers reducing manual sorting workload and skilled-labor dependence

If this project looks like yours, having site space, volume, parcel profile and system interface details ready makes it much faster to size the equipment.

• Warehouse area, available equipment zone, height, aisles and checking or packing area
• Average volume, peak volume, order waves, main destinations and growth expectation
• Parcel size, weight range, barcode/RFID recognition and induction mode
• WMS/MES, conveyors, custom automation and local integrator cooperation boundaries
