Small parcels are creating big challenges for logistics operations.
Recorded live at Parcel and Post Expo in London, Paul Hamblin is joined by Ghetjan Willenthof of Eurosort to explore how the rise of e-commerce has transformed parcel profiles and placed new demands on sorting operations.
They discuss why today’s mix of lightweight, irregular and awkwardly shaped items can be difficult for traditional systems to handle, how sorter technology is evolving to improve throughput and make better use of limited warehouse space, and the growing role of automation in reducing reliance on manual processes.
The conversation also looks at labour shortages, the importance of designing operations for future growth, and where technologies including robotic induction could take parcel sorting over the next five years.
An insightful discussion on how postal and logistics operators can build faster, more flexible and more efficient sorting operations for the changing world of e-commerce.
