Definitions

  • the presently described technology relates to a parcel distribution system with special emphasis on a rational system avoiding delays e.g. caused by repeated sorting steps and reloading.
  • the basic idea of an efficient parcel distribution system is to avoid a lot of intermediate sorting stations between a sender and a receiver of parcels.
  • the solution to this could be the adoption of a hub-and-spoke topology rather than point-to-point solutions.
  • UPS Universal Parcel Services
  • Consolidation involves collection of parcels by trucks assigned to specific routes and bringing the parcels to a local distribution centre. All parcels will be known by the system, because the shippers enter all such information online before the parcels are picked up.
  • Distribution involves picked up parcels being transported from the distribution centres to a central hub, where they are unloaded, sorted and again loaded according to their destinations.
  • Fragmentation is the inverse of consolidation, as parcels have to be delivered to each individual destination.
  • fragmentation is combined with distribution as a delivery truck route can be integrated with a pick-up route.
  • trucks have to depart at fixed times.
  • trucks are usually backed up to a ramp from where the cargo is unloaded onto a conveyor belt with scanners at the entry point leading the sorted parcels to at least one exit point.
  • trucks will usually be backed up to a ramp and loaded from behind.
  • Loading the big cargo space needs to be done very carefully and in such a way that the position of each parcel can be retrieved easily and precisely by the truck driver when he makes deliveries (fragmentation).
  • the trucks are usually in service even if there is still free space when they depart.
  • a distribution system comprises:
  • - conveyor means having entry and exit points to receive and dispatch parcels at respective ends thereof, - scanning means to identify incoming parcels at an entry point and to direct them to a specific exit point,
  • a computer processing system receiving, storing and processing input data of parcels in order to provide calculated data defining the pertinent exit point, the pertinent container, and the order of loading each parcel based on a fixed area for the subsequent distribution,
  • the system has a characterising feature in that said containers to be loaded with the sorted parcels are oriented across the length of the truck bed for entering parcels from at least one lateral side of the truck bed.
  • each secondary truck Having finished their daily route, each secondary truck returns to the transfer point and leaves the container to be picked up by the primary truck when it passes by on its return trip to the central terminal or hub.
  • the primary trucks will usually also visit larger clients to unload and reload parcels for which reservations are made beforehand.
  • the primary trucks are emptied onto a conveyor, and the contents are sorted and moved on to selected exit points, where a number of containers are lined up along loading platforms or exit points and oriented across the length of the truck bed for loading each container from at least one lateral side of the truck bed, i.e. at the ends of the containers.
  • This is a complete breakaway from traditional container traffic, and it has proved to be a very timesaving solution.
  • the big advantage obtained thereby is that several containers can be loaded simultaneously at the same exit point in less time. Moreover, the dispatch route for the secondary trucks is calculated before the parcels are loaded and, consequently, parcels can be positioned in the most suitable place in the containers for the next day's dispatch. Further, the truck driver will know where to stop and in which position in the container to pick parcels at each stop. Moreover, he need not care about where he puts the new parcels picked up from client shippers.
  • clients enter at least recipient data for each parcel into the data processing system used in the distribution terminal.
  • Clients could also be entering physical data for each parcel into the data processing system.
  • Other types of information could be requirements regarding the temperature, express delivery, COD etc.
  • a larger system comprising several of said distribution systems could be established, wherein the distribution terminals are linked to each other and parcels are transferred between the terminals via land transport or air transport depending on the distance.
  • a literally global distribution system could be set up, wherein the only sorting of parcels not to be distributed in the originating system would serve to identify which other hub or central distribution terminal they were to go to before the detailed sorting and loading into a final container.
  • the computer processing system receives, stores and processes data of parcels entered by the client shippers, whereby the calculated data defines the pertinent exit point from the conveyor, the pertinent container, and the order of loading the parcels into the container based on a calculated route for the subsequent distribution by a secondary truck.
  • Fig.1 is a diagram showing a parcel distribution system according to the invention.
  • Fig.2 is a layout showing a distribution terminal according to the invention
  • Fig.3 is an example of a truck loaded with containers and pallets
  • the parcel distribution system illustrated in Fig. 1 is based on a hub-and-spoke topology, wherein the hub 10 serves as a central distribution terminal (see Fig.2) comprising a) conveyor means 110 connecting an entry point 111 or ramp with one or more exit points 112 or ramps, b) scanning means 120 identifying arriving parcels and transferring the parcel ID to c) a computer processing system 130 for issuance of a command to have the conveyor drop the parcel at an exit point and determining the container and position in the container to be taken up by the parcel.
  • the hub 10 serves as a central distribution terminal (see Fig.2) comprising a) conveyor means 110 connecting an entry point 111 or ramp with one or more exit points 112 or ramps, b) scanning means 120 identifying arriving parcels and transferring the parcel ID to c) a computer processing system 130 for issuance of a command to have the conveyor drop the parcel at an exit point and determining the container and position in the container to be taken up by the parcel.
  • the ramps 111 , 112 in said terminal 10 are arranged in such a manner that trucks T can line up along a ramp, and each truck T carries containers 140 positioned across the length of the truck bed for fast unloading of parcels to be sorted, by tilting the containers towards an entry ramp 111 with a conveyor and for easy access to several containers 140 from one exit ramp 112, where parcels as sorted are placed in a container 140 and in a position in said container determined by the computer system 130 based on the route plan 11, 21 for said container 140, so they are easily picked therefrom the next day.
  • Clients reserve pick-up of parcels online by entering into the computer processing system 130 parcel data, i.e. ID codes, dimensions, weights, recipient details, as required by the computer system 130.
  • parcel data i.e. ID codes, dimensions, weights, recipient details, as required by the computer system 130.
  • Fig 3 illustrates how a road train could look with pallets P in the front vehicle and different sizes of containers (140a, 140b, 140c) on the two hooked-up trailers.
  • a larger distribution system (not shown) could be established by integrating several distribution systems according to the one in Fig. 1.
  • the larger system could be a regional or global system while the distribution system in Fig. 1 would be a national system.
  • a fully developed European network could be capable of providing a 24 hour service.
  • the inventor contemplates choosing the Frankfurt area as the World European hub, through which all European parcels leave for other continents.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un système de distribution de colis se caractérisant notamment par un système rationnel permettant d'éviter les retards tels que, par exemple, ceux liés à la répétition d'opérations de tri et au rechargement de camions et de conteneurs. Selon l'invention, ce système de distribution est basé sur une topologie de type en étoile, ce qui signifie que les opérations de tri ne sont réalisées qu'au niveau du noeud ou du terminal central. Les conteneurs à charger avec les colis triés sont orientés dans le sens de la longueur de la plate-forme du camion en vue de l'introduction des colis à partir d'au moins un côté de ladite plate-forme.
