- German Offenlegungsschrift DE 196 44 163 A1 discloses a method and a method
- Device for online processing of forwarding messages fertilize An image of the program is recorded and the program is transported to a buffer. After the digitization, the areas with the information of interest are determined and automatically redirection prefixes, recipient names and addresses as well as a return note: a deliverer read the sender address. The results are checked in a database. Recipient names and recipient addresses not clearly read by OCR reader are evaluated in advance with the aid of video encodings of the images of the programs. The new recipient address is printed readable and encoded on the program.
- the method envisages that after the consignment task, the consignment surfaces provided with the addresses are scanned in, the recipient details are read and the ascertained recipient data are searched for in a redirection database in which redirection orders including name and delivery addresses are stored.
- the disposition trigger receives an identifier, which is also a searchable component of the stored redirection order.
- the items are stored under the respective identifier and a serial number, and the dispenser is electronically made available by the dispatch service information about received shipments.
- the disposition trigger electronically informs the shipping service to which delivery addresses the consignments are to be sent under timely conditions or whether information about the consignment content must be made electronically accessible by correspondence.
- the shipments are again included in the shipping process, and on the shipments a machine-readable code for the selected delivery address is applied.
- the programs are opened, the contents are scanned and made electronically accessible to the disposition trigger.
- European Patent EP 1 053 798 B1 likewise discloses a method for forwarding mailpieces, in which mailpieces are addressed to a virtual postal mailbox in order to be able to be delivered directly to a recipient.
- Applicant's European Patent EP 1 421 537 B1 discloses a method of carrying mail by using electronic parcel deposit boxes.
- the delivery address of a shipment is detected and changed according to a routine specified by the recipient, wherein the routine includes an association between multiple delivery periods and delivery addresses.
- At least one delivery address includes an electronic parcel compartment system or a compartment of such parcel compartment system. If a delivery to a parcel compartment system is provided, the delivery address is also changed depending on free subjects of parcel compartment systems. If a customer chooses to deliver to a parcel compartment system for a certain period of time, the shipment is redirected to the selected parcel compartment system. However, if there is no free compartment available in the system selected by the customer, the shipment will be diverted to a free-of-charge parcel compartment system.
- the object of the invention is therefore to provide a method for processing mailpieces in a postal transport and postal distribution system in which diversion orders for electronic parcel compartment systems can be taken into account in a simple and effective manner.
- personnel responsible for transport and distribution should receive the necessary information about a diversion.

- the inventive method further comprises comparing the data for indicating the recipient of the mail item with data stored in a database of registered customers by the data processing unit of the first mail distribution center.
- a data record stored for a customer in the database is determined and provided by the data processing unit on the basis of the recorded data of the recipient.
- a diversion order is determined from the customer's data record and a destination for an electronic parcel compartment system is assigned to the information uniquely identifying the item of mail.
- a second postal distribution center in the area of the electronic parcel deposit box facility is determined, and a sorting of the mail item in the first postal distribution center takes place on the basis of the destination information.
- the data captured by the mail item and the destination information are transmitted by the data processing unit of the first mail distribution center to a data processing unit of the second mail distribution center.
- the mail item will become the second postal distribution center in the electronic transported, and the information unambiguously identifying the mail item are re-recorded by a further reading device of the second mail distribution center.
- the destination specification of the item of mail is determined by the data processing unit on the basis of the information uniquely identifying the item of mail and the item of mail in the second postal distribution center is sorted on the basis of the destination information. Furthermore, a transmission of the mail piece uniquely identifying information and the associated destination is carried on a mobile device.
- a reservation of a subject is carried out in the relevant electronic parcel compartment system.
- the reservation of a compartment in the electronic parcel compartment system for the mail item can be carried out by the data processing unit of the first postal distribution center or the data processing unit of the second postal distribution center.
- the mobile device preferably comprises a screen and means for detecting the information that uniquely identifies the mailpiece.
- the destination information which is associated with the information that unambiguously identifies the item of mail, is displayed on the screen upon detection of this information from the item.
- the information uniquely identifying the item of mail is data which is stored in a barcode. are broken.
- the identification information can also be stored in an RFID transponder.
- a dispatch notification is sent to the parcel compartment system and of the data on the mail item which were recorded by the reading device in the first mail distribution center, at least the information uniquely identifying the mail piece and the details of the recipient of the mailing are sent to the parcel compartment system transmitted before a delivery of the consignment takes place at the parcel deposit box facility.
- an additional advice note is also generated to the customer with the information that a shipment for the customer is expected to arrive in the parcel deposit box within the next few hours.
- This Avis can be generated by the first or second postal distribution center.
- the invention also encompasses an arrangement of devices for processing mailpieces, the arrangement comprising at least a first mail distribution center, a second postal distribution center and an electronic parcel deposit box facility. Both the first postal distribution center and the second postal distribution center each comprise a reading device for detecting data located on a mailpiece and a respective data processing unit for processing the acquired data.
- the arrangement further comprises a database in connection with the first postal distribution center and / or the second postal distribution center, in which diversion orders are stored by registered recipients.
- At least the data processing unit of the first postal distribution center has means for determining a destination from a diversion order of a registered recipient and means for assigning this destination information to the postal item unambiguously identifying information.
- the data processing unit of the first mail distribution center further comprises means for transferring the data acquired by the reading device to the data processing unit of the second postal distribution center.
- the mobile device is in communication with the data processing unit of the second mail distribution center, this data processing unit comprising means for transmitting at least the information uniquely identifying the mailpiece and the associated destination information to the mobile device.
- the database is in communication with a central management unit, and this management unit comprises means for storing and querying the document states of the compartments of at least the parcel deposit box installation.
- the data processing unit of the first mail distribution center, the data processing unit of the second mail distribution center and / or the central administration unit preferably have means for transferring data determined by a reading device in the first mail distribution center to at least one parcel deposit box installation.
- Fig. 1 shows an embodiment of the inventive arrangement of devices within a mail transport and Postverteilsystems.
- the exemplary embodiment illustrated in FIG. 1 comprises at least one first postal distribution Center 30, also referred to as Postal Exit Center PZA, and a second Postal Distribution Center 50, also referred to as PZE Inbox Center.
- the system preferably comprises more than two mail distribution centers, which geographically cover the entire area of the mail transport and distribution system.
- a mailing center can serve as both an inbox and a mailbox. If a mail item is placed at a location A by a customer and should be at a
- the postal distribution center near the place A represents the Postal Exit Center PZA
- a postal distribution center in the place B represents the post office entrance center PZE.
- the postal distribution center near location B will function as a mail exit center, while the postal dispatch center at location A will be the inbox center.
- the running within the postal distribution centers steps of the method according to the invention are thus not limited to certain physically existing buildings, but can take place in different arrangements.
- the embodiment of an arrangement of devices for carrying out the method according to the invention shown in FIG. 1 is likewise not limited to specific physically existing buildings, but the designations inbox and inbox center refer to the respective processes taking place in the centers.
- a bulk sorting of received mail items to destinations of postal distribution centers takes place in a mail exit center. Sorted shipments become the transported to different destination mail distribution centers and there, for example, sorted by address and house numbers. The finely sorted consignments are handed over to a deliverer for a specific delivery route.
- Each Postal Distribution Center thus acts both as an outgoing mail center, distributing mailings to other mail distribution centers and as an incoming mail center, sorting consignments received from other mailing centers for delivery.
- the devices shown in FIG. 1 within the mail distribution centers can carry out both the method steps according to the invention during the delivery of a mail item and during the delivery of a mail item. If consignments are therefore delivered at location B, the postal distribution center 50 located there will become the outgoing mail center and the functions of components and connections shown in FIG. 1 will change accordingly.
- a mail item 10 is provided with a unique mailing identification 11.
- the shipment identification 11 is at least one bar code in which information is encrypted which uniquely identifies the mail item in the system.
- a barcode it is also possible to use three-dimensional encryption matrices or information in plain text in order to uniquely identify the shipment. It is also possible to mark a message by an RFID transponder.
- the mail piece 10 is a parcel shipment, which due to their dimensions is not in one Mailbox of a recipient can be inserted so that the recipient can choose the delivery in an electronic parcel deposit box 20.
- the customer can, however, also choose a delivery in a parcel deposit box for other mailpieces such as letter mail, so that the invention is not limited to the processing of parcels. It is thus possible, for example, for a customer to have shipments sent to any parcel compartment system in the vicinity of which he, for example, is traveling or taking a vacation.
- the mail transport and distribution system preferably includes a plurality of parcel deposit boxes distributed throughout the system. Expediently, at least one parcel compartment system is located in the area of each postal distribution center. However, it is more advantageous to arrange a plurality of parcel deposit boxes in the area of a postal distribution center or a city in order to provide the customer with as many places as possible for a possible delivery.
- Electronic parcel compartment systems have the advantage that a recipient does not have to be present at the delivery address at his home address in order to receive a consignment.
- the shipment can rather be sent to a parcel compartment system of his choice and deposited there in a compartment.
- the recipient receives a notification of the delivery and can pick up the shipment at a time of his choice arbitrarily from the specialist facility.
- Parcel deposit boxes can usually be used by registered and / or unregistered consignees of consignments. For the invention, however, it has proven to be advantageous that a customer is registered, so that one of him deposited diversion order can be used in the processing of mail.
- the barcode 11 is located, for example, on a label which is applied to the package.
- the label may have been applied to the consignment by a consignor himself, by a mail acceptance point and in some cases also by a postal distribution center.
- the barcode is used to unambiguously identify the item and thus makes it possible in particular to track the item in the system.
- the item After receiving a mail item 10 in the postal transport and postal distribution system, the item is handed over to a first postal distribution center, which now functions as a postal delivery center 30 for this item.
- a reading device 31 which uniquely identifies the program.
- the reading device 31 is, for example, a package address reading system, or individual processing points in a postal distribution center read in information of items and transmit them to a central computer in the mail distribution center.
- the information is read in with a scanner. If, in contrast, an RFID transponder is used, the information stored therein is detected by means of an associated reading device.
- the information uniquely identifying a mail item is also referred to below as a packet ID.
- the reading device 31 determines information about the recipient of the program. This information can be detected, for example, by OCR readers and processed by a data processing unit 32.
- the shipment is a prefix (e.g., a barcode, the information is read in with a scanner. If, in contrast, an RFID transponder is used, the information stored therein is detected by means of an associated reading device.
- the information uniquely identifying a mail item is also referred to below as a packet ID.
- the reading device 31 determines information about the recipient of the program. This information can be detected, for example, by OCR readers and processed by a data processing unit 32.
- the shipment is a
- Receiver identifier applied which can be read by the reading device by machine.
- this is a customer ID of the recipient who is registered in the system.
- the customer ID can also be encrypted or applied in plain text on the shipment.
- the customer ID was specified by a recipient when ordering a consignment, so that the sender can apply the customer ID to the consignment in the area of the address field when shipping. If no customer ID is applied, for example, the customer name and the customer address can be read, which are noted in plain text on the shipment.
- address information such as street, house number, postal code or the dimensions of a shipment can be recorded and processed by different systems.
- the determined parcel ID is transmitted together with the information about the recipient to a data processing unit 32 in connection with the mail exit center 30.
- the data processing unit has access to a customer database 40 in which rerouting instructions issued by customers have been stored.
- the database 40 may be located within the outbox. Preferably, however, it is arranged in a central administration unit 41, so that all the postal distribution centers of the system have access to the database.
- the data processing unit makes a request to the database 40 as to whether a redirection order is stored for the detected customer ID. This is preferably an order that a mail item should be delivered to a parcel compartment system selected by the customer. In this case, different delivery routines can be deposited by the customer, so that he can specify different parcel compartment systems for different periods.
- the item of mail was originally addressed to the customer's home address, the item is now redirected to a parcel compartment system. Even if the shipment had previously been addressed to a parcel compartment system, it can be redirected to another parcel compartment system if the customer has deposited this.
- a component in conjunction with the data processing unit 32 thus preferably has the current document statuses and reservations for announced mailpieces for all parcel compartment systems of the postal transport and distribution system. Conveniently, this component is also arranged in the central management unit 41.
- a destination is determined, and this destination is assigned to the unique identification of the consignment. net.
- the consignment is then assigned to the postal distribution center, in the area of which the destination information and thus the electronic parcel compartment system is located, to which the consignment is to be diverted.
- This Postal Distribution Center 50 now functions as the Inbox Center for this shipment.
- the consignment is transported by means of transport such as trains or automobiles to the relevant inbox center 50 and accepted there.
- the data processing unit 32 assigns the associated package ID to the destination. At least the destination information and the packet ID are transmitted to a corresponding data processing unit 52 in conjunction with the destination inbox center 50 via a data line. It can also be provided that further information such as street, house number, zip code or the dimensions of the shipment are also transmitted to the data processing unit 52 of the inbox center 50.
- the consignment is assigned by the data processing unit 52 the associated destination information and the consignment is sorted on the basis of this destination so that it is assigned to a delivery district and a delivery agent which is the parcel compartment system 20 in question.
- the data processing unit 52 also transmits the identification of the item (parcel ID) and the associated destination information to a mobile device 60.
- the mobile device is a device which a delivery person carries on a delivery route to one or more parcel compartment systems and with which he reads the package IDs of shipments on his delivery tour. It is the mobile device For example, a handheld to which data from the data processing unit 52 can be transferred. Several shipments are assigned to a delivery route in the area of the Inbox Center and thus also an assignment to a handheld of a delivery agent takes place. Here, the handheld, the package IDs are assigned to the belonging to a delivery program shipments, so that the deliverer can read the package IDs if necessary from the shipments of his delivery route. The deliverer expediently records all parcel IDs of his shipments before the start of his delivery tour.
- the data transmission from the data processing unit 52 to the mobile device 60 can take place, for example, wirelessly via a radio or GSM connection.
- the handheld is inserted into a transfer device such as a handheld shell prior to commencing a delivery route, and the data is transferred via an interface in the shell.
- the transmission of data to a plurality of mobile devices from delivery personnel does not occur directly by the data processing unit 52 itself, but the data processing unit 52 transmits the information of a separate component, which performs the transfer of data to a plurality of mobile devices.
- the mobile device 60 comprises a barcode scanner, whereas if RFID transponders are used, it comprises a corresponding reader for reading out data from the transponder.
- the mobile device further comprises at least one screen in order to display the delivery-relevant information to the delivery person.
- the detour order is expediently not applied in plain text. This reduces the workload, and this approach also has the advantage that destination addresses can be changed even after the first determination of a detour order. If, for example, after the relocation of a consignment, no free compartments are available in the selected parcel compartment system, because a parcel compartment system is not usable, for example because of a technical defect, the consignment can be redirected again.
- the data processing unit 52 at the inbox center after acquiring the packet ID, again polls the central administration unit's database 40 to query the current redirection preferences. If, for example, the transport of the mail item from the outgoing mail center to the incoming mail center has been delayed, it may happen that a certain time window has been exceeded and the recipient now wishes to be delivered to another parcel deposit box facility. In this case, the shipment is redirected again.
- the deliverer in the method according to the invention records the parcel ID of a consignment
- the currently valid destination of this consignment can be displayed on the screen of the mobile device since this information was previously played by the data processing unit 52 of the inbox center 50 on the mobile device.
- the deliverer is thus indicated that the destination of the shipment is a particular parcel compartment system in his delivery district, even if there is a deviating address information on the Sen fertilg itself.
- the display of the destination can be supplemented by further information, so that on the screen also explicitly the information can be displayed that it is a diverted shipment.
- the deliverer transports the item 10 to the parcel compartment system 20 and sets the item there in a free compartment. It can be a special reserved for this program or a subject from a group of reserved subjects.
- the customer is then notified of the setting and can pick up the shipment at any time at the parcel compartment system.
- the notification of the customer can also be made via the central management unit 41, as soon as this administration unit is informed by the parcel compartment system 20 that a shipment has been discontinued.
- the customer is informed, for example, by e-mail or SMS.
- a pre-notification was sent to the customer before setting the shipment that the shipment is set in a parcel compartment system in the near future.
- This pre-notification can be triggered, for example, as soon as the consignment has been assigned a destination specification in the form of a parcel deposit box facility in the outgoing mail center. Since it is not yet ensured at this time that a shipment reaches the respective inbox center at all, it may be advantageous to send the advance message to the customer only when the shipment is re-detected in the inbox center. After setting the shipment, the customer receives a confirmation message that his shipment has actually been discontinued.
- the customer may be sent several advance notifications about the probable termination of his consignment.
- the central management unit 41 can receive from a customer a one-time disposition that a shipment should be diverted, even if the consignment already detected in the outbox and possibly even already on the way to a
- the Inbox Center is located.
- the re-routing instruction is transmitted from the central management unit to the data processing unit 52 of the inbox center 50.
- the consignment is assigned the new destination and the consignment is sorted accordingly.
- the repeated readdressing of a consignment may take place at parcel deposit boxes in the area of the first-determined inbox center or outside its area. In the case of a redirection within the area of the inbox center, only the assignment to a new parcel compartment system takes place and the consignment is sorted into another delivery route. If the shipment is to be readdressed outside of the inbox center, for example, because the customer desires delivery in another larger city, the relevant postal distribution center of that city is determined and the shipment is transported to this mail distribution center.
- the newly determined mail distribution center now functions as an inbox center and the method steps according to the invention can be carried out analogously there.
- a parcel check 20 is sent a consignment note when in one
- Postal exit center 30 is determined that a mailing is provided for a parcel compartment system. It can be addressed both directly to a parcel compartment system Shipments, as well as redirected shipments.
- the data recorded in the mail exit center 30, such as customer ID, parcel ID, street, house number, zip code and / or dimensions of the consignment, are transmitted to the relevant parcel compartment system 20 directly or via the central administration unit 41 and stored in a storage means of the parcel compartment system.
- the package ID is captured and the associated record is called.
- the deliverer scans the barcode of a consignment, the machine recognizes the consignment based on the package ID and displays the relevant data of the consignment data record on a screen.
- the displayed data expediently includes at least the customer ID and the name of the recipient. If necessary, information on required COD payments can also be displayed.
- the deliverer does not have to enter this data himself, but has it at disposal of a shipment already available and must only confirm this. This simplifies delivery and results in a substantial reduction in the cost of delivery
- this advice of the consignment data to the parcel compartment system also has the advantage that it can be determined in advance how many consignments will arrive at the parcel compartment system in one day ,
- the included dimensions can also be used to determine how many compartments of which size are needed on this day.
- the corresponding fan sizes can be reserved for these broadcasts.
- sen- fertilize that can not be inserted in the parcel machine due to their dimensions, identified early and redirected, for example, in a branch. If, for example, it is determined in the outgoing mail center that a parcel shipment is addressed to a parcel compartment system, but in this parcel compartment system no compartments of sufficient size are available, the parcel shipment can be diverted. The mail piece can be redirected to another parcel deposit box facility, to a post office or to the home address of the recipient.
- a comparison with the information provided by the machine about the number and size of the free compartments also allows day-precise capacity planning for each machine. Thus, the use of the remaining subjects can be optimally planned and an over or under occupancy avoided.
- a consignment is collected at a mail exit center and delivered to a parcel handler in the area of the destination mail center during the next day.
- a delivery person also sets shipments which were addressed to a home address of a recipient, but which could not be delivered due to the absence of the recipient, in a parcel compartment system and notifies the recipient of this setting. To do this, he leaves a notification card with the recipient.
- the remaining slots for that day can be cleared for shipments that are scheduled by a deliverer unplanned. If the destination address of a consignment changes again during its transport and distribution route, reservations may change continuously.
- the deliverer When stopping shipments with a notification card, the deliverer must already have information at the time of notification to the recipient's home address as to whether and at which parcel compartment facility a sufficiently large compartment is available for the relevant shipment. This information about document statuses can be communicated to him via the mobile device 60, for example. Since it is already known at the beginning of his delivery tour how many shipments are addressed directly to a parcel compartment system on this day, the remaining compartments can be made available to him for delivery with a notification card.
- the collection of shipment data beyond the destination address can also be done in the Inbox Center.
- the collection in the outgoing mail center has the significant advantage that the data is available in the system as early as possible and can thus be used for a consignment note and capacity planning.
- In the Inbox Center only the package ID is recorded again and the associated data is loaded.
- the relevant contents of the collected data are transmitted to the Inbox Center and the Inbox Center merely confirms that a transmission has arrived at the PZE.
- the deliverer does not transfer information about the document statuses of parcel compartment systems in his delivery area to his handheld, it may be necessary to make a prognosis of how many compartments should be reserved for an unplanned setting of shipments by the deliverer.
- the compartments of a machine should be used as optimally as possible.
- the deliverer should have a sufficient number of subjects for an unplanned setting available, but on the other hand should be prevented that a directly addressed to the machine or diverted broadcast can not be set.
- the number of free slots at a machine within a certain period of time is used for a prognosis. From this, by adding a buffer and taking into account other factors such as the average storage duration of a shipment, the number of bins that can be made available for unplanned shipments is determined. The forecast is continuously adjusted to the conditions at individual parcel compartment systems.
