Automated Processing System (APS)
Automated Processing System (APS)
Chet King showcases the step-by-step process of UPS Mail Innovations’ Automated Processing System (APS), which sorts flat-sized mail pieces. Chet follows a mail piece from the start of the APS process to the finish -- from reading the address through to the final sort before last-mile delivery by the U.S. Postal Service. UPS Mail Innovations has recently transitioned to the Intelligent Mail Barcode (IMB) in processing flat size mail. Therefore, the PostNET Barcode referenced in this video clip reflects this new (IMB) technology.
