Relais Colis opts for BEUMER sortation system

BEUMER has been awarded a second contract to design and integrate a new parcel sortation system at Relais Colis’ Sortation Centre in Genas, France. In a statement sent to Post&Parcel today (12 July), BEUMER said that the new contract follows on from the installation of an “almost identical” automated parcel sortation system in Relais Colis’ Combs-La-Ville Hub, which went into operation in April.

The new cross-docking sortation system is based on an energy-efficient LS-4000 sorter which can handle a wide range of parcel sizes.

BEUMER Group has designed the new system to fit into a more compact footprint than the Combs-La-Ville system due to the shape of the Genas Hub facility.

Jean-Sébastien Léridon, Managing Director of Relais Colis, commented: “BEUMER Group’s close partnership and co-operation resulted in the on-time delivery of the Combs-La-Ville system. This has given us the confidence to award the second contract for the Genas Hub to BEUMER Group. These automated systems are central to Relais Colis’ business strategy to combine a higher delivery speed with a lower cost for all of our customers.”

Sébastien Coelho, Relais Colis Transformation and Flow Manager, added: “The specific purpose of this site is to be both a hub and a regional agency.

“The Lyon hub agency project is a result of the experience developed with Beumer when designing the sorter installed in Combs-La-Ville and is part of an innovative approach in order to design this new double-use machine.”
