Automated Postal Center Bashny.Net

Automatic sorting of letters appeared in the USSR in the 60s. Then it was put into operation about 180 letter-sorting machines and a population accustomed to write codes on envelopes. But with the beginning of the 90s Russia has passed to the European format of writing e-mail addresses to which the machines were not designed. In some regions, particularly in Samara, it was written oebspechenie software for reading addresses in the new format. But existing postal computers had already become obsolete (for example, as a carrier of information they used computer tape), and the disintegration of the Soviet Union made it impossible to modernize them, because the main manufacturer of the machine is in Kharkiv. As a result, mail had to go back to manual sorting.

Over the past 20 years, the system of automatic sorting using the postal code in Russia is actually absent. Prior to the opening of the Moscow ASC mailings in CFD subjected to manual sorting first in the district post offices, then - at the regional and, finally, in the sorting center in Moscow. Now, in the district and regional nodes mail will only be grouped into containers and then sent to Moscow ASN for sorting.
