Description

Central sorting and distribution facility for shipments.

Detailed Information

A Hub is a central sorting and distribution facility where shipments are received, sorted, and dispatched to their next destination. Hubs play a crucial role in the hub-and-spoke logistics model, where packages from multiple origins are consolidated at a central hub before being distributed to various destinations. Modern hubs use automated sorting systems, barcode scanners, and conveyor belts to process thousands of packages per hour efficiently.
