The new-generation Colissimo parcels platform: 10 innovations in 1 model
Description
To illustrate its capacity for constant innovation and remain a leader in e-commerce logistics, La Poste is presenting a model specially created for VivaTech. Built using LEGO® bricks, this 8 m² animated model is a 1:80 scale reproduction of a new-generation Colissimo industrial platform, inspired by the one due to open at the end of the year in Normandy. Made up of over 100,000 bricks, the model took 8 months to build, from modelling to assembly.
With this mock-up, La Poste aims to demonstrate the technical skills and expertise required to process 465 million Colissimo parcels in 2023. It showcases the industrial innovations deployed or tested in the new-generation facilities, such as sorters capable of handling up to 40,000 parcels per hour, automated flashing of all parcel faces for end-to-end tracking, a mechanical arm to assist unloading, and robotisation to facilitate the sorting of small parcels or depalletizing.
