Packaging and Shipping Technologies

Automated Packaging Labeling System

Auto Bagger

Auto Bagger automatically inserts products into polybags, seals them, and prints labels. It speeds up small order packing. E-commerce operations rely on it to reduce shipping labor.

Automated Carton Closing and Sealing

Automated Carton Closing and Sealing folds and seals cartons using tape or glue without manual handling. It ensures secure packaging with consistent results. Warehouses use it downstream of pack stations.

Automated Shipping Systems

Automated Shipping Systems combine labeling, weighing, manifesting, and sorting into one seamless process. They reduce manual touchpoints and improve throughput. Warehouses use them to prepare packages for transport loading.

Case Decanting

Case Decanting removes inner products from master cartons for further processing. It prepares goods for piece-picking or automation. Fulfillment centers use it to feed pick zones or robotics.

Case Erectors

Case Erectors form and seal corrugated cartons automatically from flat blanks. They reduce time and labor at packing stations. Warehouses use them to supply cartons for order fulfillment lines.

Document Print and Inserter

Document Print and Inserter prints and inserts packing slips, invoices, or compliance documents into cartons. It eliminates manual paperwork tasks. Operations use it for accuracy and consistency in outbound shipments.

On Demand Packaging

On Demand Packaging creates custom-sized cartons in real time to fit specific items. It reduces shipping voids of air, material waste, and shipping costs. Warehouses use it for irregular-sized or fragile items.

Putwalls – Robotic

Putwalls – Robotic automate the sorting of picked items into order slots using robotic arms or shuttles. They increase speed and consistency. High-volume operations use them for labor reduction.

Warehouse Scales

Warehouse Scales are automated weighing systems that integrate with your warehouse operations. They provide accurate weight data for inventory control, carrier billing, and load planning. These systems can work with automated conveyor systems in receiving and shipping areas to streamline material handling workflows.  

Automated Labeling Systems ( PANDA)

Automated Labeling Systems automatically print and apply labels to cases, cartons, or pallets. They improve labeling speed, reduce errors, and increase throughput. These systems are commonly used in high-volume fulfillment and distribution operations. PANDA is often used as an acronym for Print and Apply System.  

Automated Truck Loading & Unloading System

Automated Truck Loading & Unloading Systems automate the transfer of goods between dock doors and trailers. They improve safety, reduce labor, and accelerate loading/unloading operations. These systems are commonly deployed in distribution facilities. 

Cubing Weighing System

Cubing Weighing Systems measure the dimensions and weight of items in motion. They optimize packaging, freight costs, and space utilization. These systems are frequently used in shipping and receiving zones of distribution centers.
