Planning and Deployment of the Matrix Regional Sorter

The U.S. Postal Service recently begun realigning its network by implementing Regional Processing and Distribution Centers (RPDC) to consolidate mail processing operations, reduce costs, and grow package business. To help support this strategy, the Postal Service deployed the Matrix Regional Sorter (MaRS). The MaRS is designed to increase package processing capacity and efficiency while using less floor space, a critical factor to the success of implementing the Postal Service’s network transformation and increasing their share in the growing package market.
