LiBiao estimates its robots process around 30 billion parcels a year

State-owned postal service provider PT Pos Indonesia has installed LiBiao Robotics’ autonomous mobile robot-based t-Sort parcel sorting technology at its processing centre in Surabaya, Java.

LiBiao’s t-Sort system, along with Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) parcel scanning software, has been integrated with Pos Indonesia’s existing IT system to allow parcels and letters to be tracked from the sender to the arrival at the delivery address. 

The installation is part of an automation push for Pos Indonesia.

“Everything is connected,” says Faisal Rohmat, a director of Pos Indonesia. “This means we will be able to ensure the fast and safe parcel and letter delivery that our customers expect.”

Prior to the installation of the t-Sort system, Pos Indonesia used human workers to sort the parcels at the Surabaya processing facility. 

The company has now been able to reassign some 80% of the staff that were previously required for sorting duties to other more profitable tasks.

Libiao Robotics’ t-Sort system consists of sorting robots, an easy-to-assemble operating platform and control software. 

Its modular design means t-Sort is quick and easy to relocate, making reconfigurations easy to carry out with minimal disruption to the business. 
Robots can also be added or removed from the system to cope with any increase or decrease in parcels.

LiBiao estimates its robots process around 30 billion parcels a year by companies as diverse as Walmart, Uniqlo and China Post.
