How does UPS sort millions of packages?

How does UPS sort millions of packages every day and make sure each one ends up in the right place? Inside UPS sorting hubs, packages move through a highly automated system of shipment information, computer-controlled routing, conveyors, and sorting equipment. Instead of determining an entire package journey at once, the network repeatedly makes smaller routing decisions that move each package toward a more specific destination. In this video, we follow that process step by step — from the moment a package enters a UPS facility, through automated sorting and regional hubs, until it reaches the local delivery network. We also look at UPS Worldport in Louisville, Kentucky, where the sorting system can handle more than 400,000 packages per hour, and explain how UPS manages an average of more than 20 million packages per day. If you've ever wondered what happens to a UPS package after you drop it off, this video explains the hidden system that keeps millions of packages moving.
