MPW System

SMALL VOLUME PARCEL AUTOMATION WORKSTATION

The MPW is a compact automation workstation designed to increase parcel throughput and improve processing accuracy for lower volume requirements. It comes standard with key features that will automate the processing of parcels small and large with NTEP certified weights and dimensions. Automating the weighing and dimensioning of parcels increases processing speed and also reduces potential errors associated with manually keying in the data. The system is also an excellent solution for processing packages that are either too small or too large to convey. The workstation desk is included, and input conveyors can be added to the system for greater productivity.

The system scans packages to capture the tracking barcode and the packages are weighed and dimensioned. Through integration with the Interface SQL database, each package’s data is stored in the database. If a new final mile label is required, it is printed and the sort code is assigned to the package and delivered for routing assignment and final mile label creation. Labels are then printed by the MPW system label printer and applied to the package by the operator.

KEY BENEFITS

ID Parcel and Mail Solutions’ MPW system is designed to optimize parcel sorting speed and accuracy for smaller throughput requirements. The following benefits highlight how the system can improve throughput, data management, operator efficiency, and overall processing capability.
  • Faster processing time of packages. Customers using the MPW system have reported operator throughput of 400 to 500 pieces per hour as compared to 60-100 pieces per hour for other methods or systems that requires key entry or manual dimension measurements.
  • Reduced Errors. Automating parcel dimensioning and weighing of parcels helps eliminate the human error that can occur when workers are manually keying weight and dimensions into the system.
  • Seamless data capture for billing and operational measurements with flexible transfer options through SQL database integration or API for accurate manifest reporting and financial processing.
  • High-Quality Measurement Technology. The iDimension® Plus Dimensioning System performs at industry leading speeds and measures within 0.2 inches (5mm) with no need for special alignment or handling by the operator. The built in Avery Weigh-Tronix ZP900 Digital Postal Scale can accurately weigh items from 0.002 lb / 1 g up to 70 lb / 31.75 kg parcel, on a single trade-approved scale.
  • Ergonomically designed workstation to improve operator productivity and comfort as well as stability for weighing accuracy.

  • User friendly Interface for simple and quick operator training and minimal operator steps in coding individual packages.
  • Integrates with the ID Parcel & Mail Solutions Packet Parcel Sorting System (PPSS) for 100% operational processing capability.
  • Phenolic Resin Workstation Desktop is a durable, high-quality material that withstands wear and tear for longer lifespan.

Added Value Enhancements & Gradual Scalability

ID Parcel & Mail Solutions can tailor the user interface of the MPW and provide enhanced technologies such as OCR and data collection for specific customer requirements. For example, our Customs Data Collection enhancement automates and streamlines international shipping compliance by capturing the name and address, goods, country of origin, and value at the same time that the package is processed for shipment.

The MPW can be scaled up over time. As throughput requirements increase, additional components can be incorporated. Automatic In-feed conveyors can be added for supplying parcels to MPW operators, and additional workstations can be added as needed.
