Item Identification – Ensure Precision and Boost Efficiency

BEUMER Group's Software Suite seamlessly integrates with multiple scanner and scale systems, enabling the capture of multiple parcel attributes, such as barcodes, dimensions, and weight. This allows the parcel flow to be split effectively in various ways — such as large and small parcels, or domestic and international destinations. The increased flexibility provided by this enhanced sortation logic drives substantial improvements in efficiency, ensures precision, and boosts the performance of your entire sorting process.

By utilizing Legal for Trade certified equipment, dimensions, and weight data are securely stored in an Alibi storage, ensuring revenue protection in cases of underpaid parcels. In addition, our system acquires and archives images from barcode scanners, facilitating item identification and providing visual confirmation of a parcel’s location and condition, and ensures that customer claims can be handled promptly and efficiently.

In cases where barcode decoding is challenging due to damage or partial coverage, our solution uses images of the parcel and deploys Optical Character Recognition (OCR) reading and Video Coding System (VCS) encoding whilst the parcel is still in the sortation system, which minimizes inefficient manual handling and parcel recirculation.

With BEUMER VCS, high-resolution parcel images empower operators to inspect barcodes and destinations from convenient office environments without the physical handling of parcels. Offline encoding is also supported, which allows operators to encode missing sort information while parcels are in transit between sortation hubs and distribution terminals. This remote system streamlines sorting operations, enabling prompt and accurate delivery while significantly reducing costs, enhancing operational efficiency, and increasing flexibility.

BEUMER OCR is equipped with a sophisticated AI model that accurately detects customer-specific labels, extracting vital parcel ID and essential sorting details. The OCR-read data also undergoes meticulous syntax checks, which ensure that reliable and valid sort information is collected, and significantly reduces the risk of errors.
BEUMER Parcel Intelligence utilizes scanner images to identify crucial parcel characteristics through a trained AI model. This advanced solution enables applications tailored to customer-specific needs, encompassing the identification of non-conveyable items, differentiation between various parcel types (such as cartons, polybags, envelopes, parcel bags, and special objects like tires or wine), detection of open or damaged packaging, and recognition of special handling instructions, such as fragile or hazardous goods labels.

By intelligently identifying these parcel characteristics, the system enhances sortation logic, optimizing special handling and overall system performance.
