SECURICOR now uses Philips dictation equipment at its Birmingham distribution centre and at its Smethwick store centre in order to speed goods handling and to lessen parcel loss.
On the Philips 85 Pocket Memo, personnel record statistics of every item collected and delivered, which can total 80 tons of small parcels in a night. This information, previously recorded by ballpoint pen, is transcribed next day by a Philips 96 machine, enabling invoicing and other documentation to be prepared more easily and with greater a ccu racy.
Securicor also uses the Philips 96 machine in a dispatch hay when a heavy build-up of parcels requires the turnround of several "cage" loads simultaneously for waiting vehicles. The two items cost about 000.
