INDUSTRIAL Conveying (Aust) says it has partnered with FKI Logistex to re-design and supply fully automated sortation systems for Australian air Express.
Australian air Express had been operating a number of predominantly manual sortation systems, but sought a major upgrade to its parcel and satchel sorting processes in Sydney, Brisbane and Melbourne.
According to Industrial Conveying (Aust), the upgrade in processes was so successful that a component of the overall project designed and developed by ICA was recognised at the SRCC Safety Awards.
As part of the FKI partnership, Industrial Conveying (Aust) supplied engineering input to the development of the total sortation system solution, design and supply of multiple conveyors for parcel and satchel systems, remote I/O control systems and HMI interface SCADA system that work in sync with the FKI sortation system.
ICA Industrial Conveying (Aust) locally designed and manufactured components for the FKI sorting system such as parcel induction aligning conveyors, structural items, and platforms.
In Melbourne and Sydney, the companies implemented FKI Logistex’s cross belt sorter. This configuration allows a mix of both parcels and satchels to be processed at 10,000 items per hour.
Industrial Conveying (Aust) also helped ensure that the total system met or exceeded Australian OH&S requirements and all legislative obligations.
