The solution is a comprehensive solution encompassing the selection and identification of the right-sized cartons, replenishment of consumed cartons, and management of carton reordering from a supplier. Furthermore, the system is easy to install, and use, compatible with any WMS, and totally independent of the order-picking process.
This innovation makes it possible for companies of almost all sizes to benefit from right-sized packaging. In addition to cutting shipping costs, packaging labor, and packaging material usage, IntelliPack® helps preserve natural forest resources, reduce landfill waste, and reduce fuel consumption required for transporting packages.
Product Features:
FastFetch’s IntelliPack® shipping cost optimization system employs three key innovations for reducing costs and enhancing worker productivity.
- The first is a highly effective AI strategy for minimizing wasted space in shipping cartons. The strategy computes—typically in less than a second—the dimensions of an ideal carton for shipping a collection of items of known size.
- The second key innovation is a search strategy that analyzes historical order records in order to identify an ideal carton size for shipping orders with minimal wasted space.
- The third key innovation is a carton management strategy that makes right-sized cartons available to packers as soon as they are needed and guides human workers as they replenish consumed cartons using a combination of voice, barcode scanning, and light directed technologies.
