BEUMER at POST-EXPO 2007

BEUMER at Post-Expo 2007:
Futuristic sorting and distribution technology

Beckum/Barcelona, 23 July 2007. Efficiency, flexibility, precision, high availability and good workplace conditions in regard to ergonomics and noise emission characterise the sorting and distribution systems from the BEUMER Group. The internationally active family company with its headquarters in Beckum has for more than 30 years successfully developed systems for the CEP sector. In doing so, BEUMER with its rapid innovation cycles meets the high and constantly growing demands of this sector. At this year's Post-Expo in Barcelona from 2 to 4 October, BEUMER will be presenting its forward-looking sortation and distribtution systems.
Back in the 1970s BEUMER, with the development of automatic sortation and distribution systems with state-of-the-art standards, laid the cornerstone for its persistent success in the CEP sector. It is not for nothing that renowned companies like UPS, GeoPost, DHL, FedEx, Chronopost and TNT have for decades relied on the technology of this specialist for material handling. In doing so, innovation enthusiasm, communication and permanent dialogue between marketing, technology and research have characterised the forward looking orientation of BEUMER. With the development and consistent use of contactless energy supply the BEUMER Group has continued to provide evidence even up to the present of its leadership role in the product fields of sortation and distribution technology.
 
The functioning and possible parameters for creation of individual customer solutions are demonstrated on the basis of one element of the Beumer Tilt Tray Sorter. Such a Tilt Tray Sorter is also in use at GeoPost, among other places. The identification of letters and parcels, so important for the CEP industry, is accomplished with the latest technologies of optical character recognition (OCR) and video coding. This technology was integrated into BEUMER sortation systems in cooperation with partner firms. Such a solution was installed in the western hub of the Hermes Logistik Group, Germany's largest non-postal consumer logistic service provider.
At Post-Expo, the eleventh trade fair for postal technologies, visitors can inform themselves in personal contacts about the competencies of the BEUMER Group.
