AUTOMATION SYSTEMS

Mondial Relay , a leading player in the logistics industry , specialising in parcel delivery and E-commerce solutions , sought to enhance its distribution centre with automation . Addverb provided a stateof-the-art sortation solution by installing ‘ Zippy ’ sorting robots in their France facility . “ Our solution , featuring 62 Zippy robots , has notably bolstered sorting rates , accuracy , and overall efficiency . We are proud to play a role in enhancing Mondial Relay ’ s operational excellence and look forward to further collaboration ,” said Pieter Feenstra , CEO of Addverb EMEA .

Designed to handle Mondial Relay ’ s high volume of parcels for its delivery operations , these advanced robots streamline the sorting process . The parcel sorting system comprises four infeed stations , where operators load parcels onto the Zippy10 robots . Each parcel undergoes scanning via a barcode scanner before the Zippy10 robot employs sophisticated algorithms to accurately sort parcels to predefined destinations . This intricate sorting process unfolds within a system boasting five lanes and 28 destinations on each side , ensuring precision and efficiency at every step .

Mondial Relay ’ s integration of the Zippy10 robots marks a significant milestone in the evolution of parcel logistics , underscoring the company ’ s commitment to delivering exceptional service and innovation to its customers . “ We are pleased with the partnership between Mondial Relay and Addverb . The solution has enabled us to improve working conditions by reducing the risk of MSDs and increase productivity by removing final sortation at our France facility . To anticipate the peak season , we will increase to 3,000 sorts / hr just by increasing the number of robots on the same platform ,” said Hoëlig Le Clainche , International Director of Engineering , Mondial Relay
