APF scan+
the multifunctional scan workstation for parcel depots.

Intelligent and manual workstations are needed in automatic and non-automatic parcel repositories. Each workstation can communicate with APF sort+ and receives in this way detailed information why a parcel couldn’t be sorted automatically. In connection with an individual workflow which can be stored for each workstation, the user thus receives for almost each specific case a reasonable guideline which he only has to carry out. Besides it is paid attention that necessary work steps are reduced as far as possible. This offers the following advantages:
- The employees at the APF scan+ workstation only need elementary basic knowledge of the system. An extensive training is no longer necessary – only after a short introductory training a new employee can work with the system.
- The error rate is reduced.
- Less work steps are required than with classic scan PCs. Thereby a higher throughput can be achieved.
- All important process steps are centrally logged and can be analysed.
Features and functions
which make your day-to-day work more productive
Important for the understanding of the APF scan+ is the following: A workflow can be stored for each workstation and this one contains the whole process logic for this workstation.
Thus for example following workflows can be selected:
- No read / manual processing
- Returns of system
- Characteristics of the parcels differ
A certain default workflow is adjusted at each workstation. Thus the workflow „No read / manual processing“ can be adjusted at the central workstations and the workflow „NC-processing“ at the NC workstations.
By simply pressing a function key, a dialogue window appears where the desired workflow can be selected.
- Returns of system
- Characteristics of the parcels differ
- NC processing
- Transport containers
- Secondary dispositions
Also standard functions can be easily mapped with APF scan+. Thereby attention is drawn to high functionality and simple, fast recognition for the operative employee in the depot. For the manual „pushing“ of parcels for example a clear indication marked in colour is given.
- Parcel shop processing
- No read processing
- Multi read recognition
- Entry of the street name
- Return management
- Service class management
