“These robots allowed to double the speed of sorting small parcels. We are currently using 272 sorting robots,” the press release states.

Pirouette robots built by Deus Robots, a Ukrainian manufacturer, are used for sorting shipments up to 30 kg.

“Robots at the sorting terminals help increase productivity without any additional workload for the personnel,” explained the press release.
Robots currently operate in the cargo and small parcel areas in 20 sorting centers and are expected to be introduced at 10 additional facilities by the end of the year. Robots are already used at depots in Kyiv, Kharkiv, Dnipro, Odesa, Boryspil, Melitopol, Pokrovsk, Novomoskovsk, Starobilsk, Korosten, Stryi, Sambir, Kovel and Stoianka.
