He Argentine Post inaugurated this Tuesday at its factory in Monte Grande, Buenos Aires province first robot sorting system (sorter) of its kind installed by a postal operator in Latin America.
This launch is considered the official opening of the comprehensive automation plan planned for 2026 a fleet from 240 autonomous robots Operation on an area of 1180 square meters. The system integrates technology Artificial intelligence, sensors and addressing algorithmsit manages to process 9000 packages per hour. The company makes this service possible triple current operating capacity across the country.
The system is specifically designed for this small and medium-sized packages up to 5 kiloswhich make up the majority of electronic commerce at home and abroad.
For Camilo BaldiniPresident and CEO of Correo Argentino, said this investment is part of the company’s transformation: after erasing a deficit of $113,000 million in 2023, Correo Argentino reached a surplus of $48,000 million in June 2025, according to Baldini, who added: The company has been operating without government funding since November 2024 and now “gives added value back to Argentinians.”
The operation of the system ensures high-precision classification. The sorter has 13 induction positions which ensure a continuous flow of charge, and overall 130 sorting outputsOptimization of processing times and minimization of the error rate.
In practice, An operator places the package on the robot, which uses a QR or barcode reader to identify the destination. The robots (which automatically recharge by monitoring their battery levels) move there in a coordinated manner Classify packets into 130 destinations, including 60 destinations in the Buenos Aires metropolitan area and 70 nodes inland. This automation increases operational quality standards, accelerates delivery times, improves traceability and also reduces repetitive physical efforts.
The company plans to complete the full automation of the plant by incorporating a second sorter in 2026, this time designed for larger packages up to 30 kilos. In addition, other technologies such as RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) for real-time tracking, industrial measuring devices for automatic billing control and automated guided vehicles (AGV) for the robotic and autonomous movement of containers will be added.
