Iran Mulling Launch of Joint E-Commerce System with South Korea
Layali traveled to Seoul to visit the South Korean post offices and exchange the experiences of the two countries in modern postal processes.
Holding a joint exhibition of stamps, printing a joint stamp between Iran and South Korea and the launch of an e-commerce system for the purchase of Iranian and Korean citizens from the e-commerce stores of the two countries were among the issues discussed in the meeting.
Also, during the meeting, the two officials exchanged views on issues like facilitating communication between Iran's post and South Korea's public and private post operators and investigating ways to increase postal traffic between the two countries.
Meantime, the requests of Iranian post representatives from their South Korean counterparts were followed up in the meeting.
Iranian knowledge-based companies have in recent years developed several devices to facilitate implementation of modern postal processes.
A knowledge-based company in Iran had in June made an advanced and practical product in the postal industry which smartly carries postal packages based on size, weight, barcode, and reading destination information.
“The robot enjoy the capability to lift a shelf weighing 300 kilograms and deliver the package to the desired location by routing. By reading the corresponding barcode registered on the shipment, the device transfers it to the desired gate,” Mehdi Rasekh, the managing director of the knowledge-based ‘Ideh Pardazan Nazer Avval Keifiat’ company told ANA.
He noted that all parts of the robot have been manufactured indigenously.
“Also, Crossport is one of the most advanced sorters presented by our knowledge-based company at the post exhibition. These sorters enjoy the ability to sort 10,000 to 15,000 packages per hour based on size and weight,” Rasekh said.
“The device moves like a train and it scans the package, reads the dimensions, weight, and barcode. Then it finds its destination information and unloads it in a special gate,” he added.
