Providing Smart Automated Solutions for material handling industry leaders in North America (U.S.A., Canada and Mexico).
In a bold move to address the surging growth of e-commerce, a major logistics provider has unveiled its largest parcel hub to date.?
This state-of-the-art facility, which spans an impressive 12,000 square meters, is a cornerstone of the customer's ambitious expansion strategy.
The need for such a substantial investment became apparent in 2021 when the customer experienced a remarkable 10.8% increase in parcel deliveries compared to the previous year, handling a staggering 23.8 million parcels. This upward trend showed no signs of slowing in 2022, prompting the company to take decisive action.
The customer's decision to construct this new hub in a strategic location near a major urban center reflects their commitment to enhancing service delivery and meeting the evolving needs of their clients. The facility's advanced capabilities are expected to significantly boost the customer's operational efficiency and capacity.
A critical factor in the success of this project has been the customer's partnership with Fives.
The new hub showcases Fives' expertise in automated sorting solutions.?
At the heart of the system is a massive 405-meter-long GENI-Belt? cross-belt sorter, complemented by three high-speed GENI-Feed induction lines. The facility boasts 95 destination chutes, catering to local and international deliveries.?
This advanced setup enables the hub to process an impressive 10,000 parcels per hour, improving the customer's ability to provide swift and reliable delivery services.
The significance of this new logistics center is not lost on the customer's leadership. The Head of Operations expressed his enthusiasm for the project:
"In less than two years, Fives has delivered a brand-new turnkey material handling system that enables us to sort up to 10,000 parcels per hour, boosting the delivery service we can offer our clients.”
“We are very proud of this new hub that meets all our operational requirements," said the Head of Operations. "Fives Engineering and Project teams' expertise, flexibility, and ability to listen enabled us to achieve the goals and objectives set for the project to our satisfaction."
This sentiment underscores the successful collaboration between the customer and Fives, highlighting the latter's ability to deliver complex projects efficiently and effectively.
As e-commerce continues to reshape the retail landscape, logistics providers like the customer are under increasing pressure to adapt and innovate. This new hub represents a significant step forward in the customer's ability to meet these challenges head-on, positioning the company for continued growth and success in the rapidly evolving world of parcel delivery.
