mCorrection Address Look-Up Solution for Finland Post

mCorrection? Secondary Address Recognition software solution has signed a licensing agreement with Syslore Ltd. and Finland Post Group. The real-time letter sorting process will use the solution in selected mail sorting and distribution centres in Finland. Significant cost savings and efficiency is expected by reducing manual mail sorting and minimising misdirected mail pieces.

`Our goal is to constantly improve the automation and quality of our letter sorting process,` says Mr. Juha Nurmi of Finland Post. `Despite use of efficient OCR readers there is still much human involvement and many bottlenecks in the delivery process. Another major problem is mail items that are sorted and delivered to the wrong delivery points, which causes a lot of extra expense. With an annual sorting and delivery volume of over billion letters, it is crucial to us that the automation level of the process is as high as possible. The novel and innovative software-based approach of mCorrection delivers significant cost savings and process improvement.`

mCorrection is a real-time address look-up solution that improves OCR (Optical Character Recognition) read rates in postal automation and letter sorting. The matching performance of mCorrection has been taken to a new level through its outstanding scalability and innovative combinatory modeling that makes intelligent use of all the available matching information and relations, allowing sorting to the person level. Because the software uses a Java implementation and open interfaces, the solution can be easily layered on top of the existing OCR and letter sorting infrastructure.
