For instance, in June 2022, GLS and DHL implemented automation to accelerate parcel sorting. In June 2022, GLS equipped its facility center in Hayward (California) with an automated sorting system. This automated system is integrated with advanced technologies such as Artificial Intelligence and machine learning to scan, weigh, and measure up to 5,000 parcels per hour without human intervention.

FedEx has pursued an automated package handling system for its operations, including unloading and loading.
