In the world of incoming mail there is what we call the good, the bad, and the ugly mail.  When Agissar first introduced extraction workstations for Tax & Claims operations in the early 2000’s we quickly realized that folded page processing was as ugly and slow as exception mail gets.

In order to overcome the slow nature of the work and overcome what would lend itself to a low utilization rate of a single operator extraction workstation we began delivering multi-operator configurations that allowed one machine to supply 2, 3 or 4 workstation positions.

By doing this, the automation was no longer cost prohibitive for these groups. Next we set out to create a self-managing environment that kept mail clerks in a production mode. This program we referred to as the expeditor program. The program was developed to remove all support tasks and distractions from mail clerks performing the extraction / prep process with the exception of batching.

Errant envelope feeding, transfer jams, incomplete slicing, etc. was not uncommon. Nevertheless, we proved that one expeditor could comfortably sustain up to 12 operators with a constant flow of work. Tax, Fulfillment, & Claims processors nationwide embraced the expeditor program and watched their throughput rates soar. Typical installations boasted throughput rates of nearly twice that of their previously manual environment.

We were revolutionizing the way Orders, Tax & Claims were being processed.  However, Agissar wasn’t going to stop there.  As students of the industry, we sought out to develop the industries only product specifically crafted to handle this thick exception mail in a semi-automated environment. Our initial efforts challenged the imagination of users with direct knowledge of the nuances associated with heavy envelope processing.

As a result of a collective effort of Agissar users, Agissar service personnel, and Agissar engineers, at our custom solutions engineering facility in Stratford, CT, the heavy mail package was born. There is no other product in the world that handles heavy mail like this one.

By creating a work environment that allows mail clerks to focus on the production task Agissar has helped organizations like yours attain throughputs that were never possible in a manual environment.  We have met our CEO’s goal.

Today we remain the only vendor capable of doing a work flow study of any labor intensive manual process and delivering a product streamlined and customized to the end user’s specifications with built in scalability to expand from one to four operating workstations per customer requirement today or at a later date.

We remain the only vendor capable of providing textbook truth in reporting, metrics and machine utilization to both the managerial and supervisory personnel by providing real time feedback to production personnel via a dynamic production data collection tool (INFOPointe and INFOPoll) serving all three entities. The information is available to all users in the format required to allow instant interpretation of equipment use and labor input.

The clerks are driven by built in speedometers displaying a comparison of each individual’s actual hourly throughput rate to the expected hourly throughput rate. Color coded zones indicate whether the operator is below, at, or beyond the preset job standard.

Obviously this performance tool constantly drives the clerical personnel towards the preset standards given the display that jumps out at you coupled with the moving envelope conveyor built into the associated workstations.

As previously discussed, we initially proposed a mailroom expeditor to assist machine nuances in addition to handling the typical tasks of sweeping workstation sort bins and reloading machine feed hoppers. Today our exception mail machines with heavy mail package no longer require an expeditor’s frequent attention to envelope passage but ensuring optimal utilization rate of the equipment and the personnel using it still requires the presence of a well-defined work flow coordinator. This individual is no longer tasked with handling machine nuances. They are merely tasked with reloading machine feed hoppers, transferring completed batches, coordinating advice, making copies, and subtly assuring that clerks remain seated at their Agissar workstations.

What makes this configuration unique from a Single Operator Station Double Cut would be:

• 10% less expensive
• 10% less to maintain
• 35% less square footage w/ service and operator access considered
• Our Production Statistics are in accordance with both Six Sigma & Lean Manufacturing guidelines. This is usually considered our most unique feature that defines why our solutions bring a fresh perspective on helping you manage your process.
• Custom Work Surface & Sort Bins offer a wide range of choices, flexibility, and comfort.
• INFOPoll® 

Unique Empty Envelope Assurance is different from other competitive alternatives. We inspect each independent envelope panel for un-removed contents, as well as the center channel where contents get separated from the envelope panels and transported for easy grasp. Every other manufacturer closes the envelope panel and inspects for un-removed contents through 2 panels of paper. This becomes a very significant benefit when you run intermixed sized envelopes (white mail).

Grasping contents on an Agissar requires a grasp and grip, as Occupational Therapists describe it. It does not require a pinch. If you’ve been told that an angle for grasp represents a difference that offsets what we’re presenting here, you might like to consult with an Occupational Therapist specializing in hand and upper extremity rehabilitation from a local hospital or clinic.

There are some pretty convincing ergonomic reviews on the merits of extracting from an Agissar Triple Cut vs. a Double Cut unit. As long as the device’s presentation for grasp of contents and the primary sort bins don’t encourage a downward deviation of the wrist, you have an Occupational Therapist’s initial approval.

Agissar Triple Cut products provide a variety of motions versus Double Cut products that require a repetitive motion without any significant diversity in wrist movement.  The Triple Cut is clearly the most ergonomic solution.

Scalability or upgradeability is a unique difference that we could have placed first on our list. We offer 20 different options and 7 different Triple Cut configurations. All Triple Cut products can be upgraded in the field as your needs change.

If you are the least bit concerned or your only apprehension about this configuration choice revolves around a downtime impact driving 2 operators rather than just 1 operator back to a manual extraction process then take this thought one level further.

Run the numbers:

1. If a Single Operator Station Double Cut or Triple Cut were to go completely down 6 times a year, forcing the operator back to a manual process at half the extraction rate for 4 hours, you would lose the equivalent or potential of 12 maximum operating hours per year. (Remember the half speed factor.) Using an example of 2,000 potential operating hours per year (1 shift / 5 days per week / 10 holidays per year), we’re left with a .06% downtime factor.

2. But let’s say that a Dual Operator configuration is a little more complex and will endure twice the cycle duty and we project going completely down 9 times per year. Again, this forces 2 operators back to a manual process at half the extraction rate for 4 hours. This works out to a loss of the equivalent or potential of 18 maximum operating hours per year. (Remember the half speed factor.) Again, we’ll use the example of 2,000 potential operating hours per year and are left with a .09% downtime factor or a difference of 6 hours per year.

If you are running just 1 size or relatively short envelopes (i.e. 7” long), then the feed rate is 4,100 envelopes per hour but if you running intermixed sizes (closer to a #10 size envelope – 9 ½” long), then your feed rate is closer to 3,700 envelopes per hour. If we take 85% of the 3,700 per hour rate, you’d be looking at 3,150 envelopes per hour or roughly 1 second per envelope transaction.
