Challenges

As a 3PL, CEVA Logistics supports multiple companies around the world, providing services from production to final delivery. Bart Hammen, site manager for CEVA Logistics, needed to eliminate the very labour-intensive manual pack- aging process that was bogging down throughput, especially with an ever-changing order profile.

“The branch in Venray, Netherlands is equipped for fulfilment of consumer lifestyle products, from coffee machines to toothbrushes and everything in between,” said Hammen. CEVA ships products di- rect to retailers and shops around the globe but is more frequently shipping direct-to-consumers. “So, the order profile is increasingly in- tricate and constantly changing,” added Hammen. When Hammen went looking for an innovative way to automate his packaging process, he knew he needed a packaging machine that could box thousands of custom-sized single- and multi-item orders a day.

“There is more to packaging than a sturdy wrapping around a product.”

Solution

The CVP Impack Automated Packaging Solution, an in-line auto-boxer that measures, constructs, tapes, weighs, and labels each while creating a custom-fit parcel using only one operator.

“The fact that we were able to conduct an open test is worth its weight in gold,” said Hammen, after the CVP packed thousands of their di- verse-sized products to see the re- liability and how much packaging material would actually be saved. Upon final delivery, the CVP was fully operational within a few days and already optimizing all steps of their parcel fulfilment. “They trained our employees both operationally and technically, and together with our people, they constantly reviewed the operation during installation. It wasn’t just an hour’s observation, but it lasted several days until both par- ties were happy and confident with the CVP,” said Hammen.
