The Post Project: 5,400 pieces/hour automated sorting delivered in just 10 days—design, integration and go-live by Allied Automation.
The Post Project
How to achieve 5400 pieces per hour automated sorting in only 10 days.
Overview
When a major postal business needed to automate their sorting facilities, they were looking for a solution on how to handle high parcel volumes efficiently within a limited space without sacrificing speed. That’s when the mini sorter intelligent robot system came into the fold, a powerful, flexible, and highly efficient solution designed for next generation automated logistics.
The Challenge
The client needed a small-item sorting system that was both intelligent and scalable. Their existing processes demanded too many operators, took up too much space, and couldn’t keep pace with rapidly growing parcel volumes.
They required a deployment-ready solution that could be installed in days, not months, and deliver measurable performance improvements — all while operating within strict spatial limitations.
The Results
The implementation of a customised small sorting system to suite the clients needs, including:
80 customised mini sorter robots operating on a double-layer desktop sorting system
10 day deployment to minimise downtime
5400 pieces per hour with a 4.5x efficiency increase and with 50% fewer operators
The system includes 4 induction stations with each station supporting between 1–2 operators, keeping staffing lean while maintaining high throughput.
Conclusion
The clients new intelligent small sorting system has become a benchmark for efficient automated logistics transformation. The project proved that automation doesn’t need to be slow or complex — with the right technology and expertise, it can be deployed rapidly, scaled effortlessly, and deliver immediate ROI.
The partnership with the client has since continued, exploring new ways to bring intelligent automation to even more sorting facilities across the country.
