Take a tour at Norway Post's new distribution center.

Crisplant has designed and installed a new energy-efficient distribution system for Norway Post's new Østlandsterminalen mail centre near Oslo, Norway. The complete Automatic Tray Handling System can sort more than 10,000 mail trays an hour and sets a new benchmark for short-flow, high-accuracy mail handling, as well as creating a safer working environment for employees. Norway Post was the first mail centre to install the highly energy-efficient LS-4000CB Cross-Belt sorter as part of an automatic tray-handling process. Designed by Crisplant, the LS-4000CB introduces the next generation of sorter technology. It includes the LSM technology that boosts energy efficiency from a typical industry average of 15 to 20 percent, up to a new high of 60 to 75 percent. In addition, the new sorter provides significant improvements in operating efficiency and significantly reduces the Health & Safety risks which are inherent in manual systems.

The Automatic Tray Handling System (ATHS) integrates a fully-automatic dynamic storage and conveyor system. This will link all of the receiving, preparation, letter, flats and rest mail process handling and despatch areas, as well as providing a dynamic storage system for mail trays prior to the delivery to the Crisplant robotic palletizing system. The complete installation is managed by control software written and implemented by Crisplant.
