例外郵便物の処理方法及び装置
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2007503988
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
The present invention relates to article handling and sorting and in particular to a system and method for handling and sorting both regular and exception articles. Regular articles are ones which fit into an article bin assigned to the article's destination address. Exception articles are ones which no longer fit due to volume concerns. In operation, a first sort of the article batch is performed into bins or PODs assigned to regular and exception articles. The exception articles are extracted, polywrapped and sorted a second time in sequence of delivery. The exception articles are also sorted in sequence of delivery. Markers are inserted into the regular article stack to indicated where an exception article should have gone. After the second sort, the articles are again extracted, exception articles first. Related regular articles are then extracted and the exception articles are manually inserted where marked. Because the exception articles are in sequence order, they will also be in the order of the markings, making manual insertion sequential and therefore easier. The present invention also includes a system for performing the above.
