Ukrposhta JSC has opened a logistics terminal with automated sorting lines in Odesa, which handles 270,000 small and large parcels per day for the entire south of Ukraine, the company’s press service said on Tuesday.
“The peculiarity of it (the terminal) is that it is here that parcels for three regions – Odesa, Kherson and Mykolaiv – are sorted,” said Igor Smelyansky, Ukrposhta’s CEO.
According to him, by installing fully automated sorting lines, Ukrposhta can adaptively respond to changes in the military situation and, by reducing the possibility of errors during sorting, deliver parcels to their destinations quickly and accurately.
As Smelyansky clarified on Facebook, the new terminal in Odesa is equipped with equipment and software from a Ukrainian manufacturer with the ability to process three parcels per second.
It is noted that the opening of the Odesa terminal is part of Ukrposhta’s development and modernization strategy, which the company launched in 2021. Currently, the company has installed 17 automated lines in seven cities of Ukraine: nine lines sort small shipments and eight sort large parcels. Over the next two months, the company will open new terminals, logistics centers, and depots with innovative equipment in cities across Ukraine.
Smelyansky also noted that Ukrposhta plans to complete the automation of facilities in all seven terminals and 16 logistics centers by 2024.
