Designed to process around 3,000 large parcels per hour, the machine is fitted with a dimension, weight and scanner system to handle bulkier items. This is expected to provide Royal Mail with more accurate data to enable managers to efficiently pack and route collection vehicles, thereby reducing operational carbon emissions. The conveyors handle parcels classed as Format 3 and 4, which are items measuring a maximum of 610 x 460 x 460cm and up to 30kg (which is equivalent in size to a parcel containing a microwave oven). The new conveyor also supports improved customer tracking for larger parcels as Royal Mail’s customers send higher volumes of larger parcels and want more information on the progress of their items – from posting to delivery.
