Abstract

Procédé de distribution de colis au destinataire, qui consiste à remettre ou à envoyer au destinataire un avis de réception de colis portant un numéro d'identification lisible par machine et à apposer le même numéro d'identification sur le colis, puis à saisir ce numéro d'identification apposé sur le colis et à stocker ledit colis dans un dépôt automatique sous ce numéro d'identification. Le destinataire introduit alors l'avis de réception de colis dans un lecteur automatique du numéro d'identification. Le colis est alors automatiquement prélevé dans le dépôt et transporté jusqu'à un guichet de distribution pouvant être verrouillé. Ledit guichet est alors ouvert sur la base du numéro d'identification lu sur la carte d'avis de réception de colis et le guichet est refermé après prélèvement du colis.
