TRECO Solitaire Robot
To address the rising costs and inefficiencies associated with declining letter volumes and the increasing share of non-machinable items, the patented Solitaire Robot offers a transformative solution. (Patent number EP4221903)
Sequencing and Pre-Sorting, Solved!
Designed specifically for the challenges of today’s postal operations, the Solitaire Robot automates the sequencing and pre-sorting of non-machinable mail - items that are traditionally labor-intensive and costly to process by hand. By intelligently identifying, aligning, and organizing mail items that cannot be handled by standard sorting machines, the Solitaire Robot reduces manual touchpoints and significantly cuts labor costs.
Importantly, the Solitaire Robot is not limited to non-machinable items - it is also capable of handling standard mail, making it a versatile tool that enhances overall operational efficiency across various mail types.
Key benefits include
Reduced Manual Labor
Automates the handling of irregular and non-machinable items, minimizing human intervention.
Increased Throughput
Speeds up the sorting process, enabling higher operational efficiency even as total mail volumes decline.
Cost Efficiency
As non-machinable items represent a growing share of total volume, the Solitaire Robot ensures these cost-heavy items are processed more economically.
Enhanced Accuracy
Consistent sequencing and sorting reduce errors and improves downstream logistics.
Operational Versatility
Processes both standard and non-machinable mail, maximizing equipment utilization and flexibility.
Increased Efficiency
As the economics of postal operations evolve, automation must extend beyond standard letter flows. The Solitaire Robot fills a critical gap - bringing intelligent automation to the most complex and costly segment of mail processing. It's not just a tool for efficiency - it's a strategic asset for sustainability in a changing industry.
Key Features
Simultaneous In- and Out-sorting
Enables efficient parallel processing for both incoming and outgoing mail streams, optimizing operational flow.
Multiple Sorting Processes
Supports sorting for Inward, Outward, and sequencing operations, enhancing versatility.
Rapid Sort Plan Change
Allows change of sorting plans within seconds, providing agility in handling dynamic workloads and operational changes.
Advanced Data Collection & Tracking
Integrated data capture and tracking capabilities support comprehensive reporting, traceability, and performance analysis.
Compact Footprint
Space-efficient design starting from just 23 x 4.5 meters (including operator workspace), adaptable based on specific configuration requirements.
Quick Installation
The mechanical installation can be completed within days, minimizing downtime and accelerating deployment timelines.
Low Noise Operation
Designed for reduced acoustic output, contributing to a more comfortable working environment.
Modular Architecture
Facilitates straightforward maintenance and component replacement. Faults in individual modules do not compromise overall system operation.
Single-Operator Capability
Can be efficiently operated by one person when lower throughput is acceptable, reducing labor costs.
