ArgusParcel
Future-oriented, automatic shipment identification
The system consists of various modules for the recognition and evaluation of information on shipment objects. The products Intelli-Line and Intelli-Sort are derived from ArgusParcel and specially adapted to the needs of postal service providers.
- Image capture
- Recognition (address, label, barcode reading, object recognition)
- Data management
- Video coding (on-/offline)
- Data archiving
Benefits:
- Reading of typescript and handwriting
- Comparison with customer-specific databases
- High integration capability independent of the conveyor technology used
- Automatic sender/recipient distinction
- Recognition from all angular positions (omnidirectional)
- High recognition and reading rates even with partially damaged addresses, barcodes and labels
ArgusAddress
Address recognition with intelligence
ArgusAddress captures and processes postal codes, city and street names as well as house numbers quickly and reliably. The software identifies address data on all shipment objects, recognizes and analyzes both printed and handwritten address data and automatically differentiates between the address block of the sender and the recipient. Manual post-processing effort is reduced to a minimum. As a system component, ArgusAddress is ideally suited for integration into other open systems.
- Automatic address identification
- Recognition from all angular positions (omnidirectional)
- High reading rate with low error rate
- Reading of multi-digit postal codes
- Identification of different languages and country-specific address rules
Intelli-Line
Mixed Mail processed intelligently
Intelli-Line is a standardized product for the automatic capture of address data, barcodes and labels for postal service providers. The processing of a wide variety of items such as letters, large letters, catalogues, customer magazines and advertising packs opens up further fields of application.
Intelli-Line is specifically designed for postal, courier, express and parcel services. The user designs his Intelli-Line according to his individual mail volume in three performance levels with a throughput of 3,000, 5,000 and 7,500 items per hour.
- Processing of consignments up to 5 cm high
- Higher-value service through shipment tracking
- Data archiving with images
- High customer confidence through traceable documentation
- Online or offline video coding
- Robust and low-maintenance technology
- Modular structure and scalability of the system
- Creation of arbitrary statistics and evaluations
Intelli-Sort
Mixed Mail secure and professionally sorted
The system is a combination of the intelligent Intelli-Line data entry line and a flexibly designed sorting system. The sorting is adapted to the customer’s needs. For a small number of end points, the simple solution by means of individual sorting modules is ideal. If there are several end points, the use of a sorter is recommended.
- All services of Intelli-Line
- Highest safety standards
- Variable sorting to any number of endpoints
- Modular structure and scalability of the system
ArgusVideocoding
Efficient error correction
The online/offline video coding supplements all uncertain or not read information afterwards. Data can also be transferred to central processing stations for several sorting centres for video coding. ArgusVideocoding is a software solution for capturing addresses. The module can be used for the manual input of rejected data from an ICR/OCR system or as a stand-alone solution for independent address capture. Video coding can be set up as a single workstation or in several networked workstations independent of location.
- Online/offline video coding stations
- Automatic optimization of the image display
- User-friendly system
- Efficient collection of data on parcels, letters and large letters
- Standard hardware, Linux platform
- Scalable according to requirements
- Ideal for capturing hard-to-read information
- Highlighting of the data block, automatic marking of implausible data
ArgusBarcode
Flexible Decoding
ArgusBarcode identifies the common 1D and 2D barcodes of more than five millimeters in size on any type of shipment object. Highest reading rates are guaranteed even with dirty and partially destroyed barcodes. ArgusBarcode can be flexibly combined with other ArgusParcel modules and integrated into standard sorting systems.
- Automatically find ROI
- 130 dpi gray value image processing
- Standard hardware, Linux platform
- Can be integrated into existing data acquisition modules
- High recognition rate even with partially destroyed or dirty barcodes
- Omnidirectional detection
- Scalable according to requirements
ArgusObject
Intelligent object recognition
ArgusObject automatically detects and measures unit loads on conveyor belts and sorting systems (from credit cards to parcels). This software module is suitable for the detection of faulty occupancy on conveyor belts and for visual quality control.
- OCR/ICR engine, reliable object recognition from 130 dpi
- Standard hardware with Linux platform
- Very good detection performance even with poor colour and contrast conditions
- Easy integration into existing data recognition modules
- Ideal solution for determining sorting errors
- Low capital investment
- Scalable according to requirements
- Omnidirectional detection, automatic detection of relevant areas (ROI)
ArgusLabel
Scalable form reading
The ArgusLabel module is used to find and read labels and forms. This functionality is used in the area of goods receipt, for example, for basic returns recognition.
- Finding and reading labels and forms
- 130 dpi gray value image processing
- High reading rates minimize post-processing effort
- Omnidirectional detection
- Linux platform on standard hardware
- Any scalability for different requirements
Argus Mailroom Assistant
Optimal Sorting
Argus Mailroom Assistant optimizes manual routes and subsequent sorting using leading reading technologies. The Argus Mailroom Assistant can be adapted and installed to any existing mail sorting rack or workstation. Addresses are read out automatically and shown together with a red compartment number on a display. The manual sorting process can be significantly simplified and accelerated.
- Easy installation on existing workstations and mail sorting racks
- No need for operator training or sorting experience
- Language independent
- Significantly higher sorting throughput
- Postal item sequencing and forwarding via database comparison possible
- Operator does not need address or delivery route knowledge
- On-the-fly address error correction
