Parcel & Mail Automation Handling Solutions
In today’s evolving postal landscape, operational efficiency and accuracy are more critical than ever.
Enhancing Mail Processing Efficiency for Postal Services.
Axiom GB specialises in providing advanced automation solutions that help streamline mail handling, reduce processing times, and ensure timely delivery across postal networks.
Our solutions are designed to address the specific challenges of the postal sector, providing scalable and reliable systems that adapt to fluctuating mail volumes whilst maintaining the highest standards of accuracy and security.
Industry Challenges
- Fluctuating Mail Volumes: Managing varying daily mail volumes and seasonal peaks requires flexible systems that can scale efficiently without compromising processing speed or accuracy.
- Time-Critical Processing: Meeting strict delivery deadlines whilst maintaining sorting accuracy is crucial for maintaining service quality and regulatory compliance.
- Mixed Mail Streams: Processing diverse mail types (from letters and packets to parcels) in a single operation requires versatile handling systems that can manage different sizes, weights and destinations.
- Labour Efficiency: Reducing dependence on manual sorting whilst improving overall productivity and minimising the risk of mis-sorts or delivery errors.
- Security & Traceability: Maintaining chain of custody and providing full traceability throughout the mail processing journey for both regulatory compliance and customer confidence.
Tailored Solutions For Postal Services
Sortation Systems
Axiom’s sortation systems, including Sliding Shoe Sorters and Pop-Up Roller Sorters, provide fast, accurate, and reliable sorting for high volumes of mail. These systems are specifically designed to handle the diverse range of items processed by postal services, from standard letters through to larger packets and small parcels.
- Sliding Shoe Sorter: Axiom’s Sliding Shoe Sorter excels in postal applications, capable of handling mixed mail streams with varying sizes and weights. The gentle handling ensures mail integrity whilst achieving high-speed sortation to multiple destinations – perfect for regional distribution centres processing mail for onward delivery.
- Pop-Up Roller Sorter: Ideal for packet mail and smaller parcels, the Pop-Up Roller Sorter provides precise, high-speed sorting whilst maintaining excellent product care. Its modular design allows for easy expansion as mail volumes grow, making it perfect for both urban mail centres and regional processing facilities.
Conveyor Systems
Axiom’s Belt and Zero-Line Pressure (ZLP) conveyors are engineered to transport mail efficiently without the risk of damage to sensitive items. These conveyors maintain consistent flow during peak processing times and integrate seamlessly with automated scanning and labelling systems.
- ZLP Conveyors: Our ZLP conveyors feature intelligent control systems that prevent mail from coming into contact with each other during transport and accumulation. This is particularly important for postal services handling sensitive documents, ensuring that mail moves smoothly from induction through sortation to final dispatch whilst maintaining item integrity.
- Belt Conveyors: Our belt conveyors are built around a underslung centre drives with tracking and belt tensioning built within. This allows high speed, >2m/sec linear speeds, whilst maintaining long service life. Equipped with inverter drive control and encoding where required, packages can be accurately tracked to allow for precise multilane merging and gapping for inline weighing or labelling on the fly.
Cross-Docking Solutions
Axiom’s Cross-Docking Cells are designed to handle rapid mail transfer operations, essential for postal services managing tight delivery schedules. These systems enable mail to move directly from inbound transport to outbound delivery routes without intermediate storage.
- Automated Cross-Docking: Perfect for postal hub operations where mail needs to be quickly transferred between different transport modes or delivery routes. The system includes automatic scanning, sorting, and manifesting capabilities to maintain full traceability whilst maximising throughput.
Labelling & Tracking Systems
Axiom’s Labelling Systems provide high-speed, accurate application of carrier labels, routing labels, and tracking codes essential for modern postal operations.
- Dynamic Labelling: Our labelling systems can handle varying package heights and sizes, automatically applying the correct routing labels and tracking codes based on automated scanning of addresses or postal codes. This ensures accurate delivery routing whilst providing the tracking capabilities customers expect.
Technical Advantages
Scalability: Axiom’s solutions scale with postal volume demands. Whether processing thousands or hundreds of thousands of items daily, our systems can expand to meet growing capacity requirements.
Integration Capability: Our systems integrate seamlessly with existing postal automation systems, WMS platforms, and carrier management systems, providing real-time visibility and control over mail processing operations.
Reliability: Designed for continuous operation, Axiom’s systems minimise downtime with robust construction and predictive maintenance capabilities, ensuring consistent mail processing even during peak periods.
Compliance: All solutions are designed to meet postal industry standards and can incorporate security features required for sensitive mail handling and audit trail requirements.
Efficiency: Axiom’s automation solutions significantly increase mail processing throughput, improve sorting accuracy, and reduce labour costs whilst maintaining the service quality standards essential to postal operations.
