Poczta Polska started the installation of a new parcel sorter in Wrocław
Poczta Polska has just started the installation of the first new sorter in its Wroclaw sorting plant. This is the next stage of the implementation of last year's contract for the purchase of three efficient machines for automatic sorting KEP (courier, express and parcel). The value of investments in new devices, which, apart from the capital of Lower Silesia, will also go to Lublin and Lisi Tail near Bydgoszcz is PLN 158 million. This is the largest one -time investment in the automation of logistics processes since the beginning of the company's history.
Poczta Polska, in accordance with the chosen strategy, plans to increase its share in the KEP market, inscribing in an upward trend on the e-commerce market. One of the key areas of the company's development are investments in the machinery park and a logistics network, which are implemented as part of the strategic design of the logistics network architecture.
- Poczta Polska implements the largest investment in the automation of logistics processes in the history so far. Investment outlays, implemented in the next few years, are necessary for the company's stable development. The core of our operation is ensuring the highest quality in the field of logistics service, which will directly translate into an increase in customer satisfaction and acquiring more recipients. The purchase of modern parcel sorts is one of the most important investments currently being implemented - emphasizes Tomasz Zdzikot, president of the board of Poczta Polska.
At present, adaptation works carried out by Mostostal Warszawa SA are underway in the Sorting Hall of Sortownia, including On the modernization of technical installations in space, where a sorting machine will soon appear. In parallel, Bemer is already assembling the sorter supporting structure. All works require precise coordination so as not to disturb the technological processes implemented on the basis of developed transition plans in the Wrocław sorting plant, which is constantly carrying out its tasks in the field of packages and letters. Outside the hall, the construction of two additional infrastructure facilities, i.e. a social and office building and a storage hall, to which some employees and some logistics processes will be moved, in accordance with the target organization taking into account the machine sorting of shipments, will ultimately be moved. At the same time, IT works are carried out on the integration of sorting machines with IT systems of Poczta Polska.
- Thanks to the automation of logistics processes, Poczta Polska will provide customers with the expected quality standard. In this way, we respond to the intensive development of the e-commerce sector. We want Poczta Polska to be a leader on the courier market, last year we introduced a new Pocztex service offer, and modern sorters, such as the one installed in Wrocław, are necessary for effective service of growing shipping volumes - says Andrzej Bodziony, vice president of the board of Poczta Polska.
The new sorter will allow operational support for 8-9 thousand. shipments per hour, introduced in automatic mode (at 2.5 m/s for standard shipments). Performance for small shipments (below 100 g), introduced manually directly on the sorter line will be about 6-7 thousand. per hour. Automatic and manual mode will be used interchangeably. Thanks to 187, the Slight, which will be equipped with a Bemer machine, Wrocław Sorting plant will become a fully modern logistics center, which will serve KEP shipments not only from the Lower Silesian area, but will also become support for other logistics units of the company.
Sorters are modern fully automated machines for developing shipments in Poland. The technology used allows for automatic reading not only standardized address labels, but also international shipments, which often have a non -standard address of address data. These are tailor -made devices, adapted to the utility needs of Polish post and the size of individual sorting plants. The innovative solutions used in them will allow universalism and service of different sizes of shipments. The IT component is an integral part of this investment, both the automation systems for the process of reading codes, as well as integration with other IT systems.
In 2023, the next new sorters will start working in a sorting plant in the Lisim Tail near Bydgoszcz and in Lublin. Sorters will also be an element of support for other logistics units of Poczta Polska. The new equipment will be integrated with the shipping tracking system.
