The new system, fully operative in the Barajas ISO

The new, automatic parcel sorting system installed by Correos in its Barajas International Sorting Office (ISO), in Madrid, is already fully operative. With this new technological equipment, the public postal entity reinforces and modernises its international parcel service, enabling it to offer new added-values and greater service quality to customers and the recipients of these international deliveries.
Correos has invested 1.2 million euros in this automatic sorting system, turnkey supplied and installed by Vanderlande Industries España S.A., the firm awarded the contract, who will also be responsible for the system’s maintenance for five years.
The commissioning of this automatic sorting equipment increases the operational capacity of this mail office in Barajas, and cuts the time necessary for managing parcel sorting, transport and distributions. Furthermore, it allows for all the information on each of the deliveries on their journey through the postal chain to be recorded.
Thanks to the automatic recording of the information, the public postal operator guarantees 100% traceability of mail. The parcel senders and recipients can know at what point in the postal circuit their mail is at each given moment, and any possible incidents in the delivery: attempts, notices, final delivery date and delivery recipient.
This initiative is in line with the postal company’s actions directed at modernising, automating and extending its logistics, distribution and customer-service centre network. All of this is designed to offer citizens and businesses more functional installations equipped with technological resources and guaranteeing the highest quality and most efficient and accessible postal service.
