Mail sorting systems in Israel

Posted by | Aug 11, 2006 | |

The Siemens Industrial Solutions and Services Group (I&S) has received an order from the Israel Postal Company for delivery of two mail sorting systems. The solution, specially tailored to the requirements of the Israel Postal Company, combines pre-processing of the incoming mail with reading and encoding of the consignments. The order is worth around 6 million euros to the I&S Postal Automation Division, and it represents the start of the Israel Postal Company’s modernization drive.

The Israel Postal Company intends to increasingly replace its existing technology with modern systems in order to provide its customers with a faster service. Two steps are being combined into a single process: The efficient pre-processing of letter mail, and the reading and encoding of this mail. This will be achieved by equipping a CFC (Culler/Facer/Canceller) machine with the latest reading and encoding technology. The basic configuration of the CFC covers the working steps of pre-processing. Letter mail will be separated according to machineable and non-machineable mail, and the machineable mail will be scanned and aligned. An image of the mail will be generated for the optical character recognition (OCR) process of the address reading system. The OCR system also recognizes type and hand writing addresses written in Hebrew. In addition, 22 video encoding stations will be set up for processing non-machine-readable addresses.
