A letter sorting machine (LSM) system of the invention has a plurality of LSMs, each having a feeder, a reader, horizontal convey paths, bins with a push-out mechanism, an elevator mechanism, a separating mechanism for separating the postal matter from the trays, a destination label printer, and a bundling machine. These LSMs are connected to a centralized system controller. The centralized system controller has a computer and a magnetic disk for storing a schedule for determining the mode of each LSM.The computer reads out the schedule table from the magnetic disk and controls the modes of the LSM for performing the primary or secondary sortation according to the kinds and amount of the postal matter to be sorted.

An apparatus for sorting postal matter or mail to a plurality of stacking bins arranged in a row in accordance with the result of optically scanning and reading ZIP codes and taking out the mail from the stacking bins to a conveyance section arranged along the row of stacking bins whenever a predetermined amount of mail is stacked in a stacking bin. When the sorting operation has come to an end, the mail sorting apparatus detects if there exists any mail on the conveyance section, and takes out the mail from the stacking bins which are opposite to the empty region on the conveyance section downstream the position where mail is on the conveyance path. After the conveyance section moves and there is an empty region opposite to the stacking bin, it then takes out the mail from the stacking bin which was opposite to the position where there was mail. This method is repeated until all mail is removed from the stacking bins.

An apparatus for inputting classification information of delivery matter comprises a display section into which postal matter is conveyed and which shows an address of each postal matter to the operator and a keyboard to input a zip code corresponding to the address displayed, and which apparatus converts the zip code inputted into a bar code and print this bar code on the postal matter. This apparatus further comprises a first storage section to store the zip codes corresponding to a plurality of states which are derived by dividing the whole region where the postal matter is delivered, a second storage section to store the zip codes corresponding to a plurality of cities that are obtained by dividing the state, a third storage section to store the zip codes corresponding to a plurality of towns that are obtained by dividing the city, and a CRT display section to sequentially display the zip codes stored in the first, second and third storage sections.
摘要:
A mail sorting system is provided which includes a plurality of mail sorters and coding devices. These mail sorters and coding devices are selectively coupled together by a distributor so that any coding device can be coupled to any mail sorter. When a mail sorter cannot identify the zip code of a particular piece of mail, the unrecognized address image is transferred to one of the coding devices so that the correct address can be input by an operator. An assigning controller is connected to the distributor for determining which coding device should receive the unrecognized address image in accordance with the current mail processing capability of the mail sorters and coding devices in order to maximize the mail handling capability of the mail sorting system.

The invention provides a sorter with an automatic push-out apparatus. The postal matter is transferred to an empty tray after the corresponding stacking section is full of postal matter. When the number of pieces of postal matter to be stacked at the stacking section within a push-out time duration is above or below a predetermined value before a full-stack status of the stacking section, a control circuit and detectors operate to transfer the postal matter to a corresponding empty tray.
摘要:
Supplier-specific data of material items are extracted from data of various material items used for the manufacture of a product. Tabular data having a structure that allows various pieces of environment consideration condition information about the extracted data to be input is created by using general-purpose spreadsheet software. The tabular data is laid out to locate an item whose contents are likely to change at an end of a table so as to minimize a change in data structure in the event of a change in contents of environment consideration condition items. The tabular data is provided to the supplier. Environment consideration condition information about each material item is acquired by using the tabular data containing the environment consideration condition information added to the tabular data on the supplier side.
