<p>An Automated Letter Movement System (ALMS) characterized in that it comprises: a plurality of AFCS (Advanced Facer Canceller System) devices (3), each of which receives postal items (7) coming from a mail collection and is configured to scan the items fed into it in order to separate items that can be subjected to a mail mechanization cycle from those unsuited to such a cycle; a plurality of SSMs (10), each of which receives as input mechanizable postal items coming from at least one AFCS device (3) and is able to group the postal items into shingled groups (12) of partially overlapping postal items, aligned along a feed direction and having reciprocally spaced corresponding edges, each SSM (10) being configured to carry out at least one sorting cycle in order to generate different shingled groups (F, L and 0), each of which comprises postal items characterized by a common sorting criterion, for example belonging to the same postal area or the same kind of customer; at least one transportation system (14) able to transfer the shingled groups (12) generated by the SSMs (10) along a first common feed direction; a plurality of DBCS (Delivery Bar Code Sorter) devices (16), each of which is able to carry out the sorting of the postal items fed into it; and a plurality of singulators (18) receiving the shingled groups arriving from the transportation system (14), each singulator (18) being configured to only singularize the postal items belonging to a specific group and being able to send the singularized postal items to a respective DBCS device (16) configured to implement a specific sorting program for the postal items belonging to the group that was subjected to singularization.</p> |
