Problem in hand

The insertion time for flats and non machinable mails into the sequenced letter stack, usually manually done, represents important preparation time and cost. In Europe, a carrier walk is usually made up of fewer than 1.000 letter mailpieces, fewer than 200 flat mailpieces and about 50 non machinable pieces. This does not include non-addressed mail, which is sometimes delivered at the same time as mail that is addressed.

Solution proposed by SOLYSTIC

MARS C4 sequences mail pieces up to a C4  format.

The mail pieces are accepted with a 8mm thickness and a 300g weight.

The flat-sorting machines are able to identify pieces that have the attributes to be sequenced on MARS C4, and isolate them.

Results

MARS C4 sequences mail volume roughly 20% larger than a standard MARS.

MARS C4 can process plastic wrapped items.

Huge labour savings: for a 800 letters sorting, 200 flats and 100 non machinables mails, the preparation cost will be 75€ for a manual preparation, 32€ with a standard MARS, and 18€ with a MARS C4.
