High shipping volumes, short lead times and increasing sustainability requirements are putting pressure on packaging processes. With the X6, Packsize is showcasing an automated on-demand solution for logistics and e-commerce locations with continuous operation at LogiMAT 2026.
The X6 is designed for applications in which large quantities of consignments need to be processed. According to the company, the system achieves a throughput of up to around 1,500 cartons or trays per hour. Corrugated cardboard is processed, from which packaging is cut to size and erected as required. The format spectrum ranges from very small letterbox-sized packaging to larger units for consolidated multi-order consignments.
Integration into automated intralogistics
The system can be integrated into existing conveyor and storage systems for use in highly automated environments. These include shuttle systems, automated storage and retrieval systems as well as concepts with autonomous mobile robots and driverless transport vehicles. The PackNet software allows several systems to be networked with each other and connected to higher-level systems such as WMS or ERP. Order data is converted directly into suitable packaging sizes.
Efficiency and reduction of packaging waste
A key argument in favour of on-demand packaging is the reduction in material usage and transport volume. As packaging is customised precisely to the dimensions of the goods, there are no cavities and the need for filling material is significantly reduced. This has an impact both on the cost structure and on compliance with current and future regulatory requirements to reduce packaging waste.
Relief for staff shortages
Automated packaging systems also offer advantages when shipping volumes fluctuate greatly, for example during seasonal peaks. High throughputs can be managed without additional staff, reducing dependency on availability, labour trends and sickness-related absences.
