Courier and express hubs screen thousands of parcels a day, so the scanner has to keep up with the conveyor rather than the operator. The practical requirements are a tunnel that matches the parcel profile, dual-energy classification so dense parcels do not require opening, and image saving so a disputed parcel can be reviewed later.
Belt speed, conveyor height and I/O signals can be specified so the scanner sits inline with a sorting line, and images are archived automatically. The exact interface is agreed with the factory at quotation, because sorting systems differ between hubs.
Belt speed is specified per project. For high-throughput hubs the line speed and parcel gap determine the required model, so the factory asks for throughput figures before quoting.
No. Dual-energy imaging classifies organic, inorganic and metallic contents, so most parcels are cleared from the image alone; image saving keeps a record for disputes.
Operators typically need a short session on image interpretation; colour coding for organic, inorganic and metal is standard across the range.
