Abstract

This paper presents performance improvement of a Coding Line Conveyer system (CLC), which is a key component of the automated parcels sorting complexes PP2000 used in logistics centers of Swiss Post. Normally, CLC operates with constant speed. The rules based on a fuzzy logic are applied to adapt the speed of CLC transportation belts. The rules take into account how parcels' parameters as size, surface quality i.e. number of address regions, type of the address, number of barcodes, series of equal or similar parcels influence the parcels' processing time. As a result the processing capacity of the PP2000 is increased. Proposed approach can be applied to similar parcels', letters' or baggage's' sorting systems
