Issues:
Though an international giant for products and services, our customer had limited focus on managing empty containers. Packaging engineers were spending valuable time chasing existing packaging to support production. Packaging was dispersed in a variety of off-site warehouses which created much downtime because of limited visibility. They had trouble maximizing full shift production due to not having the right packaging available when needed.
Issues:
Our customer was using expendable corrugated packaging to ship their finished products. There was inconsistent packaging, personnel injuries due to nailed and stapled wood, as well as damage and contamination of finished goods while in transit to dealerships. The dealers had loads of packaging to dispose of resulting in additional costs and headaches.
Issues:
A supplier to the automotive industry, our customer had a need for expendable packaging that was durable enough to protect high-end, interior trim leather for a very expensive, limited edition automobile. packIQ was called to rapidly develop a solution that would assist in automation and packaging to support the production of this high-dollar automobile.
