Asendia USA has made significant improvements to its operational capabilities with the expansion of its Chicago area facility, including the integration of state-of-the-art parcel automation technology from NPI.
The expanded facility in Des Plaines now spans 80,000ft2 and provides a more streamlined operation, replacing three separate buildings with one centralized hub, enabling increased efficiency and continued growth. According to Asendia, customers will benefit from faster processing times and improved service.
Asendia has installed NPI‘s Xstream Compact, a dual-sided parcel sorting system with bulk feed conveyors, elevated feed conveyors and multiple output destinations for increased operational productivity.
“Our parcel automation allows us to process more parcels with a high level of quality,” said Joe Criesi, senior vice president of operations at Asendia USA. “Our 51-bin parcel sorter allows us to dim [dimension], weigh, scan and sort parcels all in one simplified process, reducing touches along the way and increasing efficiencies throughout processing.”
With these enhancements, Asendia USA aims to deliver even better service to its e-commerce customers, ensuring faster, more efficient shipping solutions.
