What Emerging Trends Are Influencing The Growth Of The Postal Automation Market?
Significant firms in the postal automation sector are concentrating on creating and implementing automation technologies like robot-based parcel sortation technology to establish a competitive advantage. This advanced system, which heavily relies on autonomously driven robots, aims to enhance the efficiency of the logistics sector's parcel sorting procedure. These robots can handle thousands of packages every hour, noticeably improving order processing speed while keeping error rates down to almost zero. In January 2024, a Vietnam-based logistics firm, Viettel Post (VTPost), embraced the fully automated robot-based parcel sortation technology, adding 160 LiBiao 'Mini Yellow' independently guided robots to its Hanoi storage and distribution center. The new sorting system gives VTPost the ability to handle roughly 6,000 varying parcels by size, weight, and shape every hour at the multi-client location. The system possesses over 1,000 target chutes, and the robots halt their movement to drop off the package when they reach the assigned chute. The robots then go back to an induction station, collect another order, and repeat the process.
