Abstract

Unique dual gantry robots from ABB handle trays and totes of mail at postal sorting centers. Automation has increased the efficiency and accuracy of distributing mail to containers which are used to move the mail on to other post offices or to other sorting stations within the distribution center. One hundred installations already completed by ABB have proven the benefits of robot mail container handling.
