A new sorting system from Fives to support Posten Bring’s growth in Sweden
“Over the past three years, our Swedish parcel volumes have grown by 169 percent, and strong indications suggest that our growth has only just begun. Jönköping is the backbone of our logistics chain, and it is of utmost importance that the parcel flow functions well. Therefore, we have made the decision to invest in automation from Fives – a solution that will be tailored to our specific needs”, says Hanna Jonasson, Director of operations for Bring.
This project is part of Bring's recent significant investments in their terminals and vehicle fleet to expand their market share and limit their carbon footprint.
The new sorting solution will increase capacity by 300 percent compared to the current system. It is based on two of Fives’ main proprietary technologies: the singulator and the cross-belt sorter, which guarantee a high level of automation and efficiency.
Fives’ singulator optimizes the item flow by transforming the 3D bulk flow of packages and flyers into a 1D stream of objects with regular spacing. The technology automatically feeds one induction line connected to the sorter.
Fives’ GENI-Belt sorter is equipped with 8 GENI-Feed induction lines, cameras, volume detection and more than 220 chutes used for local, domestic and international destinations.
The unparalleled accuracy and availability of the technology, combined with a compact layout, ensure high-performance with minimum operational costs. The solution designed by Fives’ process experts relies upon configuration redundancy to optimize the delivery capacity of the hub.
Posten Bring plans to use the new sorting system by mid-2025.
“Our new system will ensure our ability to sustain growth. In order to continue scaling our volumes, we must not only operate at a faster pace but also employ smarter solutions”, Hanna Jonasson adds.
The new partnership with Posten Bring reinforces and cements Fives’ position in the Nordics.
