PRIME VISION UPGRADES ITS LARGEST INSTALLED SYSTEM

On the face of it, the automation process that Prime Vision installed for Austrian Post was a classic ParcelMatch combination of OCR, video coding and parcel image archiving.  But what made this project really stand out from the crowd was its scale.  ParcelMatch modules were initially installed at the Austrian Post flagship sorting centre in Vienna and then rolled out across six further regional sites.  This phased introduction was completed within four months.

The success of the installation has since led to an additional project to centralise the video coding functionality at Austrian Post and this latest phase of development has just been completed.

Prime Vision has introduced a system that connects the seven parcel sorting centres to one data entry site in the Viennese sorting centre and the offshore video coding centre in Slovakia.  It provides a central coding solution for all parcels that would otherwise be coded locally or offshore. Each sorting centre has its own traffic manager and address details from each mail stream are now verified against the centralised Austrian address database.

“This new system has reduced operational costs for Austrian Post without any loss of flexibility of functionality,” explains Wouter Loomans, Senior Account Manager, Prime Vision. “This is a great example of why open architecture systems are so important to dynamic postal operations. They allow easy and cost-effective upgrade.”
