IoT-Powered Mail Transformation: A Smart Framework for Postal Service Automation

Abstract

The postal system, which has been a cornerstone of global communication for many years, has been subject to persistent difficulties due to its reliance on manual processes and the limited payment options available. This research paper proposes a revolutionary solution to address these issues by incorporating the Internet of Things into the process of processing postal envelopes. The proposed system consists of three main elements: IoT - enabled envelope collection and sorting, automation of envelope addressing, and integration of payment processing. By utilizing IoT sensors and devices to collect and sort envelopes, the process becomes a smooth and efficient process. Automated addressing, which may involve robotic arms, eliminates labor - intensive manual processes. Payment processing is further simplified by the inclusion of various payment methods such as credit cards and debit cards, as well as mobile wallets. This innovative strategy seeks to make the postal process more convenient and user - friendly, thus better responding to the needs of the modern world.
