Flexible sorting at DPD Kolding
Because of the good relationship and long partnership between the two companies, and the innovative solutions offered, DPD Denmark chose Vanderlande Industries as its partner for a new parcel sorting hub.
The parcel sortation system at DPD in Kolding consists of a dual-sided POSISORTER equipped with 8 infeed lines and 34 destinations. Each of the infeed lines has an automatic weighing scale, which is used for invoice purposes. Barcode information is read by a centrally located camera-based scanner.
An out-of-gauge conveyor system is used to manually sort small parcels and letters into bags.
Machinable parcels are merged onto the POSISORTER. The system is controlled by the standard Vanderlande Industries Flow System Controller (FSC).The DPD Kolding system is unique because it serves loading docks which have a double function, being used for trucks for the outbound shift and for vans for the inbound shift.
Customer benefits:
- Small footprint as loading docks are used for both trucks and vans
- Easy, low-cost maintenance
- Increased capacity and high availability
- Weight and volume measurement for invoicing
- Cost-effective operation
