PHILADELPHIA, May 9, 2024
/PRNewswire/ -- Asendia USA, a
leading provider of international shipping and mailing solutions,
is pleased to announce significant improvements to its operational
capabilities with the expansion of its Chicago area facility. This expansion includes
the integration of state-of-the-art parcel automation technology
provided by NPI, a Duravant Company, a trusted partner and proven
leader in automated sorting solutions.
Last year's move to the larger Des
Plaines facility marked the consolidation of Asendia
USA's three Chicago-area processing operations into one
expansive location, conveniently located very close to ORD airport.
Now, Asendia USA is proud to
unveil further parcel automation enhancements to this facility,
which is set to become the "center of excellence" for the
company.
The expanded facility, spanning 80,000 square feet, offers
numerous benefits to both customers and employees. It provides a
more streamlined operation, replacing three separate buildings with
one centralized hub, allowing for increased efficiency and
continued growth. Customers will benefit from faster processing
times and improved service.
Central to the facility's improvements is the integration of
cutting-edge parcel automation capabilities, made possible through
the partnership with NPI. NPI's Xstream Compact, a dual-sided
parcel sorting system, has proven to be an ideal solution for
Asendia USA's specific
requirements. With features such as bulk feed conveyors, elevated
feed conveyors, and multiple output destinations, the system
efficiently sorts parcels and enhances operational productivity.
The versatility of Xstream Compact played an important role in
improving Asendia USA's operations
by streamlining their process of rebuilding pallets and sorting
parcels directly into gaylords and sacks.
"Our parcel automation allows us to process more parcels with a
high level of quality. Our 51-bin parcel sorter allows us to dim,
weigh, scan, and sort parcels all in one simplified process,
reducing touches along the way and increasing efficiencies
throughout processing," said Joe
Criesi, Senior Vice President of Operations at Asendia
USA. "It has been a great
experience partnering with NPI who saw the vision for what Asendia
needed and developed a system capable of handling the many
different types of parcels processed throughout our facility."
"At NPI, our goal with every project is to improve productivity
and efficiency by leveraging the flexibility and ingenuity of our
engineering and operations teams," said Benny Landrum, Regional Sales Manager at NPI.
"In the case of Asendia USA, it
was a great pleasure working with such an engaged and smart team,
who not only understood their operations extremely well, but also
knew exactly what they desired in automation. Their deep
understanding of their operations and clear vision for their
transition into automation facilitated a smooth collaboration."
With these enhancements, Asendia USA is poised to deliver even better service
to its e-commerce customers, ensuring faster, more efficient
shipping solutions. The company looks forward to continuing its
commitment to excellence in international shipping and mailing.
