Automated packaging processes are seen as a lever for optimising material usage, costs and ergonomics in shipping. Storopack relies on AI-supported systems that fill cartons as required and support manual processes.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Shipping determines how economical and sustainable a logistics process actually is. Different item sizes, fluctuating order volumes and increasing consignment quantities increase complexity. Automated packaging processes should ensure stable workflows and make the use of resources more predictable.<\/p>\n

In Stuttgart, Storopack is showcasing solutions that aim to precisely harmonise product, carton and padding material. At the centre is an AI-supported module that automatically fills shipping cartons with the required amount of paper padding. According to the company, the system analyses relevant parameters and adjusts the amount of material in real time. The aim is to avoid overfilling and reduce empty space in the carton.<\/p>

Carton volume and material consumption at a glance<\/h2>\n

One starting point is to reduce the volume of cardboard and filling material. Less material can not only have an impact on packaging costs, but also on transport volumes and CO\u2082 emissions. According to the company, automated dosing can reduce both material consumption and process times.<\/p>\n

The solution is designed to be integrated into existing intralogistics and shipping lines. It is therefore aimed in particular at companies with medium to high shipping volumes that want to standardise and scale their processes.<\/p>
