New Scanners for Preloaders

[Tick Toc]

An add cut scanned will give you the misload beep as you enter it's old car. Helpful to quickly identify an add cut before you accidentally shelve (an potentially lose) it. It's most convenient feature I noticed after day 1

275 pieces an hour. What are you loading envelopes?

lmao nah, I just don't around.

Thanks for the replies guys. I hope the system works but I have a feeling it will slow preload down even more to begin with and we are leaving the building around 9:30am daily as it is. Can't wait for peak...I have a feeling the cake walk from the last few years will be no more.

+1 on this. We've had our start time pushed back from 8:30 to 8:45 and preload is even further away from being wrapped up than before. I've been told it's because of the 22.3 folks that they can't start the night shift until after 12am and they usually delay preload start time. This week has been the worst. We've left the building at around 10am everyday and had tons of late air and a crapload of left in building packages. Plus we always have a ton of misroutes. The new preload smart scan system sounds great but if it does take longer like folks here are saying, ur building will be even more screwed. If we're running this bad now I'm imagining that this peak will be worse than 2013 peak.

I am hearing these new printers are slowing down the preload in our hub. I left the preload at the perfect time back in April. My first question is, why did UPS not implement this earlier in the year?

We track total missed on road and destination not equal to delivery in buildings that go on preload SmartScan. The fact is, the buildings that have it are better than the US average, and better than they were the year prior in the same buildings. We've put them in some ugly buildings too, where there are night sorts, limited capacity etc.

I know people are going to howl that we make it up anyway, but these two numbers are "bottom line" numbers that compare on time delivery to scans in previous buildings, and no matter how someone scans or doesn't scan in a destination building, you can't really hide from these particular service failures.

Preload supe actually complained that he now has to actually ENTER the car to load it...
I went from a minimum of 4 misloads per day to a total of 7 for the entire week.

Preload's only accountability is pieces per hour, hours on the clock and finish time... and *maybe* misloads depending on how a driver handles them. This highlights the misloads, so I'm all for it. I have also noticed a distinct improvement in load quality. If the center has to hire a few more misloaders... er... preloaders to compensate for actually doing their jobs, I'm all for that, too.

Cheaper to pay an extra preloader for an entire shift than to pay every driver an extra half hour to fix their poor loads & misloads.

Someone actually reads the driver comments? WOW!!!

There's some real gold their sometimes. Especially regarding preloader capabilities
