Inbound logistics, a crucial process in courier and parcel handling, involves receiving and processing packages that arrive at a courier facility. When a product enters the facility, it’s essential to scan, track, weigh and sort it correctly for precise destination allocation , proper materials handling, and an efficient supply chain. Misreading a barcode or mis-sorting an item during this process can lead to expensive manual corrections.

Inbound logistics applications include automated receipt of incoming goods, categorisation of inbound items, verification of manifests, scanning pallets, and printing and applying internal tracking labels.

High-performance equipment such as image-based barcode readers and machine vision solutions, dimensioners, scales and print and apply machines are vital in inbound logistics. They speed up the movement of incoming products and ensure traceability throughout the warehouse.  The key to the accurate reading of every code, are codes that are printed clearly, providing a certain ANSI grade A,B,C etc. The code size, code placement, code orientation and module width on the items should be taken into consideration. Our devices provide advanced algorithms to read difficult code scenarios, data and analytics, offering couriers real-time insights into performance trends, data management and device management.
