Costs, capacity, personnel: postal companies’ challenges

Postal operators around the world have heavily invested in sorting machines. This is inevitable to increase sorting capacity and efficiency and keep pace with growing e-commerce shipment volumes. However, a large proportion of items cannot be sorted automatically and requires video coding due to the OCR software not being able to retrieve the address details. Causes include handwritten addresses, reflective backgrounds, information outside the field, or crumpled labels. Often the data also does not match the information in the address database.

How does the Spectos video coding solution work?

For letters and parcels that cannot be automatically decoded and sorted by machines, Spectos has developed an off-site solution that can be easily integrated into your existing sorting system. In parallel to the ongoing sorting process, a professional external team decodes the non-machine-readable items via a remote real-time session. After successful decoding, the parcels and letters are placed back on the sorting machine a second time, which can now assign the correct sorting destination.
