Managing a broad mix of product sizes and weights is a significant challenge.
When multiple customer branding requirements and seasonal peaks in demand are added to the equation, things become even more complex. Third-party logistics and warehouse fulfillment demands flexibility, cost-efficiency, and performance from packaging and automation solutions first and foremost.

What We Recommend
DecisionTower with FillPak Trident
Automated paper-based void filling with AI vision technology
Automated void filling can speed up the packaging process, increase throughput, and ensure the right amount of protection is used in the boxes. Too little void-fill material means damaged products. Too much affects both costs and the environment – and impacts the all-important unboxing experience.
The combination of DecisionTower™ with FillPak Trident™ makes it possible to achieve up to a 35% reduction in material usage and still offer optimal product protection.
