AirSpeed 5000
Packaging problem
A distributor of media and books fulfills orders from three different facilities. There’s one main plant, and two other warehouse locations. The company was interested in improving its protective packaging operation and use a system that was good to the environment. Sustainability and reducing the cost of their labor were their main pain points. The company was used to using a system that would create a tubular protective material around the products. Equipment issues is what prompted the change to an air pillow system.
