Air Business chooses ID Mail as automation partner
Air Business has selected ID Mail Systems as its automation partner for the supply of its first OCR mail & packet sorting system and supporting semi automated processing stations. The new technology is installed at Air Business’ head office and distribution facility in St. Albans, where it assists with the automated processing of a portion of its mail which cannot currently be processed through its substantial range of wrapping and enclosing machinery.
The operation will completely automate the counting, sorting, weighing processes, and different methods of indicia application for the mailings of Air Business’ many customers in United Kingdom and Europe. With over 70 international distribution partners, Air Business provides tailored distribution solutions for customers that necessitate complex sorting schemes.
The Dispatcher MX system processes a wide range of mail, from post cards, letters, large letters (flats) up to postal packets. It can process this mail at speeds up to 10,000 per hour. For mail items that are not automation compatible, ID Mail provided three of its MMW systems including automatic dimensioning to provide a 100% solution for all post (mail and parcels).
The MMW systems complement the Dispatcher MX and allow all mail and posts to be processed for indicia assignment, weight and dimensional format capture and tracking to billing jobs. With the new auto dimensioning feature, mail and parcel dimensions are accurately captured as the item is weighed. A user interface with one-touch coding to Air Business’ most common destinations will increase the speed and ease of its mail processing.
Jerry Fenerty, President of ID Mail Systems said “We’re very happy that Air Business chose ID Mail Systems as their automation partner. Air Business is one of the leading cross border distribution partners and is growing their business in an era when many others have seen volumes decline. Between their sophisticated IT solutions and keen understanding of delivering the best distribution options to their customers, ID Mail’s products will assist them with realizing their growth plans.”
