Packsize and 6 River Systems collaborate on next-generation warehouse automation technology

Multinational on-demand packaging technology leader Packsize will showcase packaging made smarter through a next-gen integration with leading fulfillment solution provider 6 River Systems at Booth 8832 at Modex. The demonstration will highlight the placement of accelerated automation in the warehouse and provide tips for attaining flexible packaging solutions in retail locations.

Representing a ship-from-store environment, a Packsize iQ3 will combine with 6 River Systems’ collaborative mobile robot called Chuck. By integrating directly into a company’s warehouse management system, right-sized cartons can be created and paired with Chuck to help operators minimize walking while ensuring a sustainable box for every order. The collaboration can make labor more efficient and reduce material and shipping-related costs, all while optimizing fulfillment in a small footprint.

According to joint customer Larry Emmert, VP of Operations at Legend Valve,” Our integrated solution with Packsize and 6 River Systems has had an immediate positive impact on our productivity, packaging, and transportation costs. We would not have realized these improvements without a tightly integrated solution delivered from both of these partners.”

While meeting the increased focus on systems integration—a key theme for leading fulfillment operations in 2020—Packsize also highlights this week a broad mix of next-gen automation capabilities available from the company’s full-spectrum portfolio of On Demand Packaging solutions.
