[QUOTE="wkmac, post: 354352, member: 2189"] Big, The system is designed for singulation or singulated package flow so what you saw is normal and not created just for TV. We have some package flow technology in our building (along with an automated small sort much like what you saw on TV) and although it's still bulk flow, it does vastly reduce jams and belt backups. Now it's not perfect but not nearly the nightly nightmare that I've seen in other older conventional buidlings. Most nights are jam free and belt backups are rare. Had UPS taken them to a conventional buidling (non automated) then all of what you said would hold true. I also hear that there are PE mechanics who work inside what the TV program called "the core" (I've heard it called the Matrix) who never see the first employee during the shift. That's got to be a dream IMO! Automation! What a wonderful idea! :wink2: One company that designs/builds sorting systems for UPS.
