Advanced sorting solution launches
THE SOLUTION launched by Cainiao is said to boost courier efficiency by 30%.
The sorting solution is tailored for the European market, addressing key challenges faced by local courier companies, including limited space, labour shortages, and the need for mixed-size parcel handling.
To address these challenges, Cainiao has introduced its newly developed narrow-belt linear sorter, a space-efficient and cost-effective alternative to traditional sorting systems. The sorter supports hundreds of parcel destinations and seamlessly processes mixed-size packages. It features a single-item separation system and an automated parcel feeding system that accurately identifies and separates parcels, ensuring fully automated sorting. By optimising manpower allocation, it helps ease the operational pressure from increasing parcel volumes while maintaining over 99% sorting accuracy.
The sorter, independently developed by Cainiao, has received EU CE mark and is already being used by several European courier companies.
One European courier company implemented the solution last year as part of a major distribution centre upgrade. After deploying the system across multiple facilities, sorting efficiency increased by 30%.
