Parcel+Post Expo

Erik Wilhelm, head of research at Kyburz, presents the Smart Box, a cutting-edge dynamic microhub for package handling and delivery. This innovative system features package detection and face authentication for secure access. Operating autonomously with solar power and GPS, it enhances last-mile delivery efficiency while integrating seamlessly with existing logistics.

Rainer Imm, head of system integration sales at Körber Supply Chain Logistics, introduces the award-winning VarioPick, a highly efficient robotic solution for dynamic picking. Designed to flexibly enhance sorting systems, it operates at high speed to remove pre-defined items from moving parcel streams. VarioPick also improves the automation of parcel handling, even for difficult-to-handle consignments.

Parcel Pending by Quadient lockers can include built-in printers, enabling customers to drop off packages and print shipping labels at the same time. Customers can scan a barcode label to place a package in the Drop Box, and then print a shipping label directly from the locker. This saves time and hassle for customers and carriers and reduces the risk of mixing up parcels. It also provides a convenient way for customers to send and receive packages at locations like train stations and local stores. Gary Winter, the company’s VP of global strategic initiatives, tells us more.

Phil Hamilton, co-founder and CEO at Countercheck, explains how the company’s AI-powered software seamlessly integrates with existing hardware and enhances the capabilities of sorting facilities. Installed locally and with no need for external API calls, the solution guarantees the highest level of cybersecurity while delivering maximum operational speed.
