Modern logistics systems in the newest postal centre in Guangzhou, China
With over 1.2 billion inhabitants china has a naturally enormous mail volume. What has been missing so far however, are modern postal centres with a high degree of automation for logistics systems. In the existing, relatively old postal centres the mail is still processed by hand. In the south of china, in Guangzhou, the postal service began modernisation in 1999. Following the modern European postal mail handling centres, a new postal centre was planned in Guangzhou, which is equipped with logistics systems with state of the art technology. Since in China the know-how in postal automation has not progressed as in the rest of the world, china post has decided to import their complex logistics systems from Europe.
