Case Study: Mail Handling International achieves 100% accurate high-speed mail matching with Datalogic barcode scanning

Mail Handling International Push The Envelope With Datalogic Barcode Scanning Technology

Mail Handling International (MHI), a specialist in international mail and fulfilment, needed to keep pace with a surge in personalized direct mail for one of its clients, growing from around 50 items a day to over 100,000 in under three years. To maintain 100% accuracy at much higher speeds, MHI turned to Datalogic barcode scanning technology, working with ScanSys to support the automated matching of letters to envelopes.

Datalogic’s Matrix 300N fixed barcode readers were installed on MHI’s upgraded insertion machine to capture 2D barcodes on both the envelope and the letter at the point of insertion, with ScanSys software verifying each match and stopping production instantly if any mismatch occurred. The solution also created a full audit trail, and within two months MHI had matched and enclosed 2.6 million envelopes, averaging 4.16 verified matches per second while dramatically improving productivity and accuracy.
