USPS: Intelligent Mail Devices ready for deployment

All systems go!
Intelligent Mail Devices ready for deployment

The Intelligent Mail Implementation group — part of Intelligent Mail and Address Quality (IMAQ) — has just briefed area and district coordinators on how USPS is handling national deployment of the Intelligent Mail Devices (IMD).

This handheld data device will replace the existing Mobile Data Collection Devices (MDCD) used to scan everything from delivery labels to collection boxes — placing us ahead of the competition with more memory, faster processing, a bigger window and new and expanded capability.

Coordinators are working closely with postmasters, station/branch managers and supervisors to begin the MDCD return process. IMAQ is taking this in steps, with up to 25,000 devices being returned to the critical parts center in Indianapolis by March 31.
