The Mail Verifier Plus (MVP) from Fluence Automation is a portable desktop hardware device that, coupled with a user-supplied computer, uses advanced digital imaging and barcode analysis software to analyze and verify mailpiece compliance with USPS® DMM® barcode, reflectance and contrast ratio standards before a mailing is completed. By sampling individually selected pieces within a mailing, the MVP provides reassurance that a job will meet postal readability specifications prior to USPS acceptance tests—allowing for in-line changes, without having to repeat an entire job. Derived from the ERM-III and MERLIN® technology developed for use by the Postal Service™, the Fluence Automation MVP is the only commercially available product able to perform a full range of MERLIN-compliant barcode and reflectance validation checks.
