16:00 - Address reading for efficient sorting at B<strong>Post</strong><br />
Michael Schalk, project manager Logistics Division, Vitronic Dr.-Ing. Stein Bildverarbeitungssysteme GmbH,<br />
Germany<br />
B<strong>Post</strong> operates Vitronic’s camera-based reading systems for efficient sorting in their postal sortation centres.<br />
Barcodes, the entire address as well as packstation number on packages are captured fully automatic at fast<br />
conveyor speeds (2.5 m/s ). Besides this OCR application, real-time video coding terminals and image archiving are<br />
installed. Non machine-readable addresses are transmitted to video coding terminals where employees update<br />
the address information. Additionally, the measurements of the packages are captured with Vitronic’s laser-based<br />
volume measurement, which is essential for the introduction of the new bpack packstations. Archived images are<br />
used for documentation and process optimisation.<br />

16:15 - manual work in a postal organisation<br />
Mikko Mertjärvi, managing director, Optiscan Group, Finland<br />
Not all trends (automation) are suitable for everyone; manual work can deliver benefits with far smaller capital<br />
costs and risks. Quality, efficiency, flexibility and competitiveness can be improved through technology, but best<br />
results can be achieved by intelligent combination of human labour and automation. Human labour is still the<br />
best production tool that scales and adapts as needed. Systems can be used to enable efficiency and high-quality<br />
output from a much wider worker potential than was traditionally possible. Semi-automated systems require few or<br />
no specialist technical skills to maintain, and enable manual operations at system failure. Technology can’t solve all<br />
problems.<br />
16:30 - materials management/container inventory and flow management with rFId<br />
Bo Helmer Larsen, director of Sales, <strong>Post</strong>al Division, Lyngsoe Systems AS, Denmark<br />
A new high-tech RFID solution is in operation, managing 70,000 roll cages. This system provides you with a complete<br />
insight into where your transport materials are and where they are going. It is a fully automated system: a front-end<br />
technology eliminating manual track-and-trace activities combined with directional real-time data, thus ensuring<br />
100% visibility in your postal workflow of containers carrying mail in your logistics system. The system enables cost<br />
savings and improved quality of service.<br />

09:30 - delivery innovation<br />
Jacob Johnsen, CEO, Ipostes, Denmark<br />
After serving the public with letter delivery for centuries, posts are now delivering using electronic media, like<br />
e-mails, SMS, internet, etc. wherever the public has communication needs. Is this divergence of the business or<br />
an innovative evolution of the postal role? From collection of mail to the delivery, postal operators must think<br />
about what their present role is and what the future role should be. Why do people turn to the post for their<br />
communication needs? What is the strength of a global network, of the legal framework to protect messaging,<br />
society’s trust in honesty and reliability?<br />
