Definitions
- Distribution order sorting of consignments means the process of arranging the consignments to be distributed in a sequence that corresponds to the order of the distribution breakpoints, e.g. by house number / letter box absolute sorting destination, but a relative position in the distribution order
- This sorting is manually very complex. This can be done using a sorting machine
- Sorting can be carried out with considerably less time, the
- Sorting is based on a sorting plan This sorting plan is a list which the
- Order describes In the machine it is the relation between a machine-readable address code and the sequence number. Since the number of delivery stopping points is greater than the number of sorting bins of the sorting machines, this is done
- 3 sorting passes can be sorted to a maximum of 999 distribution breakpoints. This is done in the first pass after the ones place, in the second pass after the tens place and in the third pass after the
- Sorting bins are full as overflow bins, the sorting run must be stopped so that the operator has space for more by emptying the affected bin
- sorting bins can overflow or even be filled with only a very small number of mail items. Because of the possible overflow, overflow bins are provided
- Overflow compartments means a reduction in the sorting capacity of the
- a gradual optimization of the sorting plan can reduce the number of necessary
- the object of the invention is to create a method for sorting distribution order in which no full-scale situations occur in order to avoid additional overflow compartments and which makes it possible to use only as many compartments for sorting as the current quantity and composition of the consignment requires
- sorting capacity of the sorting machine is generally greater than the required capacity due to the composition of the consignments, which is why sorting bins are left over or sorting destinations remain unused.
- these unused sorting destination distribution points are included in the sorting, starting from The fact that the sorting target distribution breakpoints only mark the relative position in the distribution order. For this the original distribution breakpoints are modified into Distribution breakpoints converted, ie a same sequence rule in two different number systems.
- the process automatically adjusts to the current one
- the number of compartments used is reduced if the compartments are under-filled until the specified optimal filling is reached.
- Fig. 1 shows the distribution of the mailings after the 1st sorting run, in which the address coding was determined in accordance with that specified in the introduction to the invention
- Distribution breakpoints Fig. 3 shows a section of the distribution of the mail items with the distribution determined in pass 1 and the
- the machine After the first sorting run, the machine knows the address of each shipment. This is shown in an example in FIG. 1. This also makes it possible to make a prediction for the filling status for each sorting bin in every further sorting run. If, unlike in this example, the consignment has already been read or pre-sorted on another machine, the address codes can be made available by suitable measures so that optimization can take place in the first sorting run. Assuming that no overflow compartments are provided in the 2 and 3 sorting run, the number of possible distribution breakpoints NDPNS results in the following value
- Sorting destinations / distribution stops remain unused
- NSTCK number of sorting bins
- NPASS number of sorting runs
- the larger of the two values is used as the initial value for the number of bins required. In the case of fractional values, different numbers of sorting machines were chosen for the remaining runs.
- nmpc number of letters limit.pi li ⁇ n ⁇ t :: Number of sorting bins in the nspi
- Sorting pass (pass) i.
- Step 2) is repeated for each given or expected DPN until either all DPNs are assigned to MDPNs or the highest possible MDPN is reached.
- the individual filling limit of the sorting compartments is lowered (all DPNs have a corresponding MDPN) or increased (the highest possible MDPN has been reached).
- Steps 2) to 4) are repeated if the interval from step 4) is reduced step by step until the optimal result is achieved.
- Sorting compartment 1 is a special compartment for receiving non-machine-compatible letters that are no longer sorted, leaving 12 or 16 sorting compartments.
