Virginia letter carriers in Reston and Fairfax are doing a lot less manual casing these days. That’s because the Flats Sequencing System (FSS) at the Dulles Processing and Distribution Center (P&DC) is providing them with delivery-point-sequenced flats they can take directly to the street.
During Phase I, the Postal Service will install 100 systems at 32 plants during a two-year period. Development starts later this year. The automated high-speed machines will walk-sequence large envelopes, catalogs and magazines in zones with high flats volume.
