Growing Demand for High-performance Hardware Units to Drive Growth of Parcel Sortation Systems Market

Parcel sorting is becoming more and more important for postal operators because of the continuous increase in parcel volumes to be delivered. New automated sortation systems are being developed to handle the growing demand. Also, new systems are being looked at to replace aging equipment. As such, there is demand for high-performance hardware devices capable of storing large databases, performing order sorting functions, weighing parcels, scanning barcodes and performing other functions. It has been found that the existing hardware devices are not able to handle the amount of work required. Some have reported bottlenecks in throughput caused by performance issues where data transmission rates are too low to keep up with process speeds.

The majority of parcel sorting equipment is currently using "embedded" or "custom-built" hardware units that thus cannot be easily upgraded or expanded either for software functions or processing power. This might force operators to replace their existing systems at significant costs. As such, there is demand for high-performance hardware units capable of storing large databases and performing order sorting functions, weighing parcels and scanning barcodes at high-speed allowing operators to sort more packages per hour while keeping running costs down.

Asia Pacific is the Fastest Growing Market for Parcel Sortation System
