April 1, 2002—Neopost, a supplier of mailroom equipment and logistics solutions, unveiled several new pieces of innovative equipment in the CeBIT trade fair, which took place in Hanover, Germany, March 13-20, 2002.
In the Mailing Systems category, the company presented three new digital ink-jet machines that are compatible with the American IBI standard for postal imprints in the form of two-dimensional barcodes:
- the IJ 35, an entry-level machine for small and medium-sized companies, which can handle up to 3,600 items per hour;
- the IJ 45, a mid-range machine with higher capacity of 5,400 items per hour;
- the IJ 85, a top-of-the-line machine capable of handling 13,600 items per hour. The IJ 35 and IJ 45 will be available as of mid-2002 in Neopost’s three main markets (UK, France, and the USA), and the IJ 85 during the second half of 2002.
In Document Systems, Neopost unveiled two new solutions with unique functions:
- SI 76, a vertical folder/inserter that is ergonomic, ultra-quiet and highly flexible due to its six document stations and its Load’N Go function, which automatically measures the size of documents and folds them accordingly.
- SI 92, a top-of-the-line, fully automated horizontal folder/inserter, equipped with the Mix’N Go system, which automatically chooses the envelope format depending on the number of pages and their thickness.
In Logistics Systems, Neopost presented the new Neomax Plus shipping station, which is capable of handling between 20 and 80 shipments per day. According to Neopost, the Neomax Plus is an Internet terminal that is as user-friendly and robust as a PC, but costs half the price.
Also at CeBIT 2002, Neopost won the “Industry Forum Design” award for its SI68 inserting system. According to Neopost, this prize is regarded as one of the most prestigious awarded for design work. The prize is awarded on the basis of aesthetic and practical quality, as well as environmental friendliness.
