Automating Packing & Shipping
Custom Solutions for Packing & Shipping
Whether you’re looking to streamline order readiness, ensure accurate packaging, or eliminate shipping bottlenecks, Kardex provides a scalable solution that fits your specific needs.
Order Readiness Notification
Using Kardex solutions, packers are notified when all items for an order or production kit are ready for packing. This ensures efficiency and eliminates unnecessary delays, improving overall productivity. The Kardex JMIF software connects seamlessly with WMS systems to provide real-time updates on order status.
Sequenced Item Delivery
Items are delivered in the exact sequence required, whether for individual orders or production kits. By ensuring just-in-time and just-in-sequence delivery, the system significantly reduces packing errors and improves workflow, especially for high-demand environments. Similarly, the system enhances process efficiency by automating the retrieval of items with precision and speed, integrating seamlessly into workflows to support accurate and timely order fulfilment.
Accurate Inventory Tracking
Kardex automated solutions ensure every item is tracked and scanned, providing up-to-date inventory visibility. Integrated software ensures transparent inventory management and reducing the risk of packing or shipping errors. This provides real-time control over inventory levels.
Faster, Safer Packaging
Kardex automation improves packing efficiencies by delivering items in the correct sequence. Heavy items are loaded first, reducing damage and ensuring safer handling. This system speeds up packing processes, minimizing errors and customer returns, while also improving safety and product protection.
Reduced Shipping Bottlenecks
Shipping delays can be avoided by organizing items in the optimal order for loading. With the ability to pre-sort shipments by size and weight, this system ensures that items that need to be in the bottom of the box are delivered first, streamlining the loading process and reducing wait times.
Consolidated Order Shipping
Orders are consolidated, ensuring that all components of a shipment are packed and shipped together. This optimization reduces shipping errors and ensures that products arrive in good condition. By acting as an automated consolidation buffer, the system manages both partial and completed orders, saving space and improving order delivery times.
By integrating these systems into your packing and shipping workflows, you gain a flexible, scalable solution that is easy to implement and expand as your business grows.
