A parcel separation method, wherein the method is performed using the parcel separation system;

• and
• the parcel separation system includes:
• a goods distribution zone connected to at least two automatic feeding lines, wherein the goods distribution zone is configured to convey a plurality of parcels to the at least two automatic feeding lines, and each of the automatic feeding lines sequentially includes:
• a stacked parcel separation zone configured to separate stacked parcels;
• a parallel separation zone configured to separate and space apart parcels which are parallel or side-by-side, wherein a separation interval between the parcels is adjustable;
• a centering and double-removal zone configured to photograph the parcels, analyze a single-parcel separation status of the parcels, and transfer a normal single parcel to a wheel loading zone based on the single-parcel separation status;
• the wheel loading zone, cooperating with the centering and double-removal zone, configured to receive parcel position information from the centering and double-removal zone and transfer separated parcels to a goods import zone based on the parcel position information;
• an abnormal parcel assembly line, cooperating with the wheel loading zone, configured to receive at least partially unseparated parcels and transfer the unseparated parcels back to the goods distribution zone;
• the goods import zone, configured to receive the separated parcels from the wheel loading zone;
• a feeding platform loading zone, cooperating with the goods import zone, configured to receive the separated parcels and read first barcode information;
• and
• a five-sided scanning and code-reading zone, configured to read second barcode information.
