Definitions
- the invention relates to a method according to DE 196 50 875 for sorting mail items with different properties in accordance with the preamble of patent claim 1.
- sorting machines When sorting mail items, sorting machines are usually used, the good spectrum of which does not encompass the entire spectrum of mail items to be processed in terms of size and weight (or other properties). This is how you sort mail items on special letter sorting machines, which are characterized by their extremely high performance and large number of separations, and you sort large letters, parcels and parcels by other machines that are specially designed for the respective range of goods. Problems exist in the following points:
- ERS ⁇ ZBLA ⁇ T (RULE 26) A large number of machines for sorting mail items are known, which differ primarily in one or more of the following characteristics:
- Sorting machines are usually done in several stages. This is how the items are sent to Swiss Post
- Sorted mechanically for the first time in the outgoing post office the recipient addresses being scanned, the addressees being determined automatically by means of OCR readers or by video coding, and this distribution information being applied to the mail item surface in the form of a code.
- the sorting depth is selected so that the departure office can sort on the entrance office or on a sorting plan within the entrance office.
- the invention is therefore based on the object of creating a method which realizes the sorting of different mail items with the aid of sorting machines which are only suitable for a specific type of mail item.
- mail items with different properties are to be sorted to the highest sorting depth, for example, sequence order sorting for the deliverer.
- the object is achieved by the features of patent claim 1.
- Advantageous refinements are specified in the subclaims.
- the invention thus makes it possible to achieve an equally high sorting depth for all types of mail, although only sorting machines are available or used for this that are not suitable for all types of mail.
- different items can be put together for the deliverer with little effort.
- the shipments that cannot be processed and the assigned placeholders can also have different ID identifiers. possessions. This allows reusable, with ID
- Placeholders with markings can be used.
- the deliverer places any placeholder in the sorted batch of mail items, reads the printed ID identification and takes the item with the same ID identification or the ID identification of the assigned item with a different ID from the stack of non-processable items which is advantageously arranged according to ID identification -Identifications that he has determined via a request to the machine control in which the assignments are stored. Then he can sort this consignment into the sorted consignment stack instead of the placeholder removed, or he positions it according to the address in a separate container for non-processable consignments.
- the distribution information obtained before the sorting according to the invention e.g. the recipient addresses for a first sorting of small sorting depth on different sorting machines in the outgoing post office are advantageously transmitted to the controls of the sorting machines that sort the mail items and the placeholders. This transmission takes place cheaply via data networks.
- the placeholders which are advantageously designed as colored cards, have at least ID markings which are applied at the latest in the machines sorting them. If reusable placeholders are used, each placeholder has a fixed ID label. If the evaluation of the ID info on placeholders is done by humans, such codes must be human-readable. If the evaluation is carried out by a reader, the ID code can be machine-readable. The reader can then convert the ID information into a human-readable form or make it available for automatic further mechanical processing. With the non-reusable placeholders, it is possible to apply the coded distribution information in addition to the ID labels. In this case, the following sorting of letters and placeholders can take place without a database.
- 1 shows a large letter and an associated placeholder with ID identification.
- FIG. 2 shows a schematic representation of the process sequence in the sequence sorting with matching ID identifications on the non-processable mail items and assigned placeholders.
- the letters and large letters are sorted by machine on different sorters for the first time, the recipient addresses being scanned, the addressees automatically determined by means of OCR readers or by video coding, and this distribution information in the form of a code is applied to the mailing surface.
- the sorting depth is selected so that the departure office can sort on the entrance office or on a sorting plan within the entrance office.
- the consignments are again sorted by machine, separated into one deliverer or one delivery group. Subsequently, a sequence sorting for the individual deliverers / delivery groups takes place on sorting machines that are only suitable for letters or cards. In order that the large letters can be included in this order, the procedure is as follows:
- sorting information for each large letter of each deliverer is stored in relation to the ID identification, as indicated in the right column.
- This sorting information must be so detailed that a sequence sorting is possible. would be lent. This is indicated in the table by the fact that the sorting information to be stored contains details that go beyond the delivery number.
- placeholders are added to the letters of each delivery agent for all large letters that are to be sent to the same delivery agent.
- These placeholders can be pre-made, color-conspicuous cards, which can be sorted mechanically together with the letters, and which carry a code for clear and machine-readable identification and which have ascending numbers in human-readable form.
- these cards can also be unlabeled and can only be provided with the human-readable marking and a machine-readable code by the sorting machine in step 3.
- Step 3 For the letters of each deliverer, the machine
- Codes can be assigned.
- the associated sorting information is available from the data stored by the large letter sorting (data transmission from the large letter sorting machine to the aisle sorting machine is required) and enables the placeholder to be sorted in the aisle order.
- the placeholder can be sorted on the letter sorting machine as a representative of the large letter together with the letters with the same sorting depth as the letters. If the placeholder (as mentioned in step 2) is still unprinted or only partially printed, it can be assigned to a large letter by the machine and then printed accordingly.
- Step 4 After completing the order sorting, the deliverer replaces each placeholder with the associated large letter, or he sorts the large letters separately based on the placeholders sorted. This work is not very tedious because the placeholders are easy to find due to their striking color and / or shape, they have the same human-readable numbers as the large letters, and the large letters are sorted by number. Specifically, the deliverer takes any placeholder from the sorted stack of letters, reads the number, takes the counterpart from the large letter stack sorted by number and adds it to the stack of letters (or positions it in a separate container separate from the stack of letters).
- 1 shows an embodiment of a large letter printed above with the required human-readable marking with the recipient address, consisting of departure information (postal code) and the input information for fine sorting and provided with a bar code for machine processing.
- 1 shows the associated placeholder, the bears the same human-readable marking, as well as a bar code for the unique machine identification of the placeholder.
- a stream of large letters 30 is sorted 70 in a sorting machine 50 in one or more sorting steps to a certain sorting depth.
- the large letters are provided with a human-readable ID identification 110, and the distribution information for each large letter is stored 80.
- a stream of letters 10 is sorted 60 by other sorting machines 40 in one or more sorting steps to a sorting depth that is finer than that of the large letters 70. Placeholders 20 for each marked large letter 30 are introduced into the sorting of the letters.
- the same, but different ID identifiers are applied to the large letters and the placeholders.
- the placeholders in the letter stream are not replaced by the large letters after sorting has been carried out, but rather the large letters are sorted in their own containers based on the placeholders present sorted.
- the exemplary embodiment is not based on the special task of sequence sorting. The 4 process steps are then as follows:
- the large letters When sorting the large letters, they are clearly marked by applying a machine-readable ID code and / or a human-readable ID identification. As already described in exemplary embodiment 1, the sorting information which enables the desired sorting depth is determined for each large letter. However, the large letters are initially not sorted to this sort depth. The sorting information for each large letter is saved and is clearly assigned to the large letter via the ID identification.
- Placeholders for all large letters are added to the letter flow before the letters are sorted.
- These placeholders can be pre-made, color-conspicuous cards, which can be sorted mechanically together with the letters, and which carry a code for clear and machine-readable identification, which does not have to match the ID identification of the large letters.
- these cards can also be unlabeled and only be provided with a human and / or machine-readable identification by the sorting machine in step 3, which in turn does not have to match the identification of the large letters.
- Step 3 The letters are sorted together with the placeholders.
- a placeholder is used for processing, it is clearly assigned to a large letter based on the code applied or now to be applied.
- the associated sorting formation is available from the data stored by the large letter sorting system (data transfer from the large letter sorting machine to the sequence order sorting is required) and enables the placeholder to be sorted.
- the placeholder can be sorted on the letter sorting machine as a representative of the large letter together with the letters with the same sorting depth as the letters. If the placeholder (as mentioned in step 2) is still unprinted or only partially printed, the machine will assign it to a large letter and then print it accordingly.
- the large letters can be sorted using the placeholders inserted in the letter stream.
- the ID information is taken from the placeholder, directly by humans (human-readable identification of the placeholder is required) or by a reader, then the associated large letter is based on the data stock, in which each large letter with ID identification and address has a placeholder is assigned to its own ID identifier, and finally the large letter is sought and sorted on the basis of its identifier.
- This task is not very tedious because the placeholders are easy to find due to their striking color and / or shape, and the large letters are sorted according to ID labels. Specific example of this: the operator takes a placeholder from the sorted stack of letters, has the code on it deciphered by a code reader, and the ID identification of the associated large letter is shown on a display. He then takes the human-readable ID
- a stream of large letters 30 is sorted 70 via machines 50 in one or more sorting steps to a certain sort depth.
- the large letters are provided with a (human and / or machine-readable) marking 110, and for each large letter the Sorting information is stored 80.
- a stream of letters 10 is sorted 60 by machines 40 in one or more sorting steps to a sorting depth that is finer than that of large letters 70. Placeholders for each marked large letter are introduced into the sorting of the letters.
- These placeholders are sorted 60 together with the letters. The placeholders are differentiated on the basis of labels applied to the surface, and the sorting information is taken from the memory 120. For this purpose, an assignment list of the ID labels of the Uppercase letters stored on the license plates of the placeholders. 4.
- the large letters are sorted based on the sorting given by the placeholders.
- the ID identification of one of the placeholders 180 must be read 170, and assigned 160 to the ID identification of the large letters on the basis of the stored data.
- the then known identification 100 of the associated large letter is used to locate and sort it. When sorting the large letters, they do not necessarily have to be physically merged with the letters.
