New sorting machine adds efficiency
to delivery of campus mail

Ronald Andrews, far left, and Nancy English, seated, listen as Opex representative Steve Willis gives a demonstration on the new automated sorting machine that was installed at University Mail Services June 17. The machine will sort inbound U.S. Postal Service mail through the use of a computer database, multiline optical character reader and robotics.

To facilitate delivery of inbound mail, the sorter will use the online campus directory to obtain delivery information for mail that is improperly addressed. For that reason it is important for faculty and staff to review their online campus directory listings and make updates as necessary (http://directory.unc.edu)
