Fluence Automation “set to deliver new innovations in mail and parcels processing”
Fluence Automation, the new company which was formed following a spin-off from Bell and Howell in August, has announced it is “set to deliver fresh innovation in the sorting and labeling equipment and software industry for companies worldwide that handle large volumes of mail and parcels”. In a statement issued last week, Mike Swift, the president and CEO of Fluence Automation (and formerly vice president and general manager of Bell and Howell’s mail and parcels sorting unit), said: “The same experienced team of professionals our customers know are now focused on investing in and growing our core mail sorting business, and further innovating in e-Commerce fulfillment automation.”
The new company provides customers with an integrated suite of solutions – sorting, high-speed encoding and labeling equipment – backed by an array of software offerings and customer support.
Fluence Automation said it is now “finalizing the next wave of productivity advances in package sorting and labeling of particular interest to e-Commerce companies”.
“The parcel-handling industry is ready for a big bump in speed,” said Swift. “We’ve invested in the steadily growing e-Commerce space with our new parcel sorting, recognition and high-speed labeling technology.”
Fluence said that its latest labeling equipment will “deliver throughput two to three times that of existing, conventional equipment while providing more flexibility (i.e., variable-sized labels) with a smaller processing footprint”.
