Configurable workflows ensure reliable scanning of every parcel - even in special cases such as Brexit or Customs Inspections.
Reliable scanning of each parcel – even in special cases. For a high throughput.
APF scan+
APF scan+ is the efficient scanning solution for a process reliable scanning history: The multi-functional scan workstation for automated and non-automated CEP parcel depots. Suitable for re-labelling in case of damaged labels or no read parcels. Thanks to the configurable workflows our scanning solution ensures reliable scanning in each working step. No matter whether Brexit Workflow, redisposition or bundling – APF scan+ masters each special case.
With the help of the integrated standard interface, the scanning data can be forwarded simply and flexibly as XML, ASCII, CSV, etc. to further systems such as accounting, tracking & tracing or disposition. Our extensive industry expertise and process knowledge enable an exact integration of APF scan+ to prescribed depot processes.

Integrated concept – the AMETRAS Plus
There is still more: Optimise your processes fully.
Each workstation can communicate with the AMETRAS sorting solution APF sort+ without interfaces. This allows new sorting plans to be created at a touch of a button, for example for a Saturday sorting, second wave or adaptation of shift time models. Extensive dashboards allow partly in real time statements about the lifecycle of a parcel and the utilisation of the depot.
With the optional print and POD server rollout lists, parking permissions and receipted proofs of delivery can be further processed digitally.
Each customer service is quickly informed in real time of package relevant incidents at a touch of a button by the integration of the volume measurement system APF ident+ and the video solution APF video+.
Update management par excellence
Every IT administrator is glad about the fully automatic, integrated update function: if new updates or function releases are provided, this can be highly individually parameterised per workstation and version number.
It has been taken into account that it is also possible at any time to roll back updates again without causing problems with the complete functionality. The distributed configuration storage of each scan workstation ensures furthermore a highly stable operation which doesn’t turn into a disaster even by a sudden power failure.
Take advantage of the full process potential of your organisation and stay one step ahead of the competition.
