Aramex Chooses BEUMER Group’s Sortation Systems for its New Express Courier Facility in Dubai
- High-speed Sortation of diverse range of parcels
- BEUMER BS 25 BT Sorter will enable throughput of 9,000 parcels per hour
- Optimized, gentle handling of parcels from 3 mm to 600 mm and up to 30 kg
Aramex is a leading global provider of comprehensive logistics and transportation solutions. Its new Express Courier Facility near Dubai International Airport will be the core of the company’s parcel sorting operations in Dubai. With strong growth in parcel volume, the company was faced with the limitations of manual sortation and made the decision to invest in automated sortation systems in its centres around the world.
BEUMER Group will install a state-of-the-art, cross-belt sorter to provide high-speed sortation of a diverse range of parcels. The system is equipped with two induction units for the automated feeding of shipments, and two legal-for-trade dimensioning, weighing, scanning (DWS) systems to ensure revenue protection. The system layout features a selection of different chute types to ensure separation of large parcels, smaller shipments, and letters for optimized, gentle handling of parcels ranging from 3 mm to 600 mm in size and up to 30 kg in weight.
Shipments will be received in the distribution centre via a boom conveyor or manually from roller cages. In addition to the normal parcel handling, Aramex offers Value Added Services (VAS) to its customers, and a dedicated VAS area has been integrated into the sortation system design. Also, all working areas have been ergonomically designed to ensure the best working environment for the staff, an important consideration for Aramex.
Aramex selected BEUMER Group for their high quality, reliability, and know-how which has been acquired from deploying more than 1,400 sortation systems world-wide. BEUMER Group already has more than 15 sorters operating in the Middle East, another important factor for Aramex. The new system is scheduled for operation in December 2017, marking Aramex’s entry to automated, high-speed sortation in the region, and a complete product offering for its customers.
