Royal Mail unveils new large parcel conveyor in Gatwick Mail Centre

11 October 2022/Categories: Logistics & Supply Chain, Operations Management


Royal Mail has unveiled its first new large parcel conveyor in Gatwick Mail Centre to support the automation and customer tracking of larger parcels in the network.

The conveyor is capable of processing bulky parcels weighing up to 30kg offering improved tracking information to customers. 

Designed to process around 3,000 large parcels per hour and this is set to provide Royal Mail with a rich source of more accurate data that enables managers to more efficiently pack and route collection vehicles, thereby helping to reduce operational carbon emissions.

The new conveyors also support improved customer tracking for larger parcels as customers send higher volumes of larger parcels, and want more information on their item’s progress - from posting to delivery.
