Fizyr OS: Parcel Induction Automation Success

US holiday parcel volumes (2025) were projected to reach ~2.3 billion packages, a 5% increase from 2024, driven in part by an extra shopping day.

EU volumes hit an estimated 6.2 billion packages in Q4 2024, with 2025 forecasts pointing to another 8–12% increase.

And there’s no sign of things slowing down.

What is slowing teams down, are the same structural challenges the industry continues to face...

• E-commerce surge & parcel diversity: Global parcel volumes now exceed 200 billion annually. Crucially, with a rapidly shifting parcel mix; more polybags, lightweight items, and irregular shapes that traditional conveyor systems simply weren't designed for.

• Persistent labor shortages: Logistics providers face chronic labor gaps and high turnover. Automation today isn't about replacement, it's about workforce augmentation. Robots take on the dull, dirty, and dangerous tasks so people can focus on exception management and higher-value problem solving.

• ROI pressure & cost Control: With thin margins, failed deliveries and manual sorting errors are no longer tolerable. Automation can reduce labor costs per parcel by 30–50% and push sorting accuracy to 99%. And this doesn’t even consider the true cost of returns.

• Sustainability & regulatory demands: New regulations regarding emissions and packaging waste are accelerating the need for right-size package automation. This eliminates void space and reduces the carbon footprint of the last mile.

So what does this mean for the parcel industry?
It means automation. Controlled, performant and accurate automation that smooths peaks and valleys, stabilizes costs and scales with demand. Fizyr OS vision for automation has a proven track record with production parcel singulation systems with DHL and others.
