Taleoo success story

Problem definition

• Due to the variety of products, many different packaging sizes are in use.
• This requires a lot of storage space and enormous organisational effort.
• Different packaging variants had to be purchased in small quantities, which was very cost-intensive.
• Around 12,000 packages currently leave the factory every week. Due to the variety of products, this entails an enormous organisational effort with regard to the different packaging sizes.

The task

• To develop packaging that matches the company's quality standards and sustainability philosophy.
• To reduce costs.

• Contact a machine supplier who can handle different filling heights. A laser measures the filling height and automatically reduces the volume of the packaging.
• This allows the variety of packaging to be reduced to a minimum without oversizing the packaging or jeopardising product protection.
