Wind turbine to power IRIS mail routing platform

Mail Handling International are excited to announce having commissioned the installation of a state of the art Wind Turbine to power its IRIS mail routing platform. The energy offset turbine sited on the roof of MHI’s UK HQ will on windy days generate 125% of the power required to run IRIS!

Gary Barnett, MHI Group Operations Director, was delighted to emphasise that
“Routing mail efficiently with IRIS has been the key to MHI’s rapid growth and success, now running profiles and cleaning data is also carbon neutral…”

Gary added “At MHI we are always looking to improve our post handling efficiencies and this is just one of a number of initiatives underway for 2007” MHI’s CEO Paul Brown is enthusiastic to point out “The success of IRIS has allowed MHI to once again re-invest in the future of the business, the wind turbine will power all of our processing servers and contribute to the overall efficiency of the business as we rapidly grow to meet client’s mail routing needs”

Paul added “Visitors to the Triangle World Mail Awards 21-23 May in London will be able to experience the routing efficiency of IRIS first hand regardless of whether the wind is blowing!” www.mailawards.com
