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.

Bringing two Ranpak solutions together into one capable system, the DecisionTower with FillPak Trident uses the computer vision and data collection capabilities of the DecisionTower to measure voids in packages passing along a line. It then communicates with a connected FillPak Trident void fill converter to dispense a precision amount of paper void fill material.

As a vision-based and semi-automated end-of-line solution, it provides unrivaled ROI through better operator efficiency, lower use of consumables, enhanced sustainability, and an improved unboxing experience.
