Innumerable parcels and letters are delivered and sorted by address every day in distribution centers belonging to courier, express and parcel companies. This task has long been performed by automated sorting systems. Before sortable labels can be attached to items, the hand- and typewritten data first needs to be identified accurately and efficiently.
This is where VITRONIC's powerful, camera-based identification systems come in. Our proprietary OCR software reads hand- and typewritten characters and data such as addresses, zip codes, street names, towns, numbers of buildings and similar, on labels, packaging and products, and even behind crumpled foil.
The OCR software automatically analyzes the data captured and reconciles it with a country-specific database. No-reads can be routed to video coding workstations using a fast, intelligent network. There, trained staff can quickly fill in the missing information.
