Abstract

The paper presents the development of an Interface and Control Manager (ICM) intended to sort automatically parcels in Swiss POST. The main purpose of the ICM is to replace existing IBM sorting system, providing better sorting quality. ICM uses complete or partial address data provided by SIEMENS Parcel Address Reader (PAR). It verifies the data and sends appropriate control information to all existing IBM servers and sorting machines. For parcels dispatching multithreading and scheduling approaches similar to these used in real-time and parallel systems are applied.
