Packsize Presents 7 Ways to Increase Fulfillment Speed & Improve Order Optimization with The X7 Automated Right-sized Packaging System
Packsize Unveils X7 in Orlando at #LINK2019, RILA's Retail Supply Chain Conference.
Orlando — February 25, 2019 — Resolving the e-commerce industry’s need for high-volume, custom-sized box output, Packsize today announced the commercial availability of the X7™ Automated Right-sized Packaging System. The X7™ meets the high-capacity packaging demands for single or consolidated stackable product orders by achieving order process optimization through advanced packaging automation.
By adding Packsize’s advanced box production technology and On Demand Packaging® expertise to their fulfillment processes, the X7™ can improve retail packaging operations in the following seven ways:
- Enhanced speed and reliability. The X7™ meets efficiency requirements for high-production runs. In development and testing for two years, this second-generation, fully automated system can fulfill up to 1,200 ready-to-ship orders per hour.
- Reduced reliance on labor. As a fully automated solution, the X7™ reduces labor-intensive manual packaging processes and provides a reliable answer to labor shortages.
- Increased sustainability. The biggest driver in packaging continues to be sustainability, which is also seeing continued attention due to the rise of e-commerce. The X7™ facilitates positive, sustainable change through smart use of resources, an observed reduction in wasteful packaging, and helps retailers achieve a reduced carbon footprint.
- Increased customer satisfaction. According to an industry study commissioned by Packsize, organizations following sustainability practices realize favorable customer satisfaction, higher customer retention levels, and increased cost savings.
- Lower freight costs. Larger-than-needed packages shipped via truck, rail, ship, or plane waste valuable fuel resources. Right-sized orders produced by the X7™ require fewer line-hauls and achieve dimensional weight parcel savings.
- Fewer damages. Right-sizing orders reduces damage during shipping and delivers superior product protection, resulting in fewer returns.
- More warehouse space. A custom box-making solution reduces box obsolescence and management since there is no longer a need to stock and manage a large number or variety of box sizes. The X7™ also gives retailers the ability to optimize warehouse space for other value-driving activities.
“The power of the X7 is in taking our proven lower-volume processes and accomplishing for
e-commerce the most needed functions to make, pack, and ship a right-sized box in three seconds,” said Packsize Sr. Product Manager Connor Pehrson. “The X7™ is unrivaled when it comes to packaging speeds and reliability.”
Backed by a worldwide support organization of Packsize Care™ engineers and technicians, Packsize can assist every X7™ at the local level. Packsize can also complement the X7™ with a full spectrum of advanced packaging, automated systems, accessories, and consumables, as well as through expert know-how and capabilities customers need to improve their retail operations and supply chains.
