Logistics in the 21st century - In the dynamically changing world of logistics and transport, there are new challenges that companies have to face. In many industries, traders are faced with dealing with the transportation of irregularly shaped and atypical sized goods. These specificities of transport and distribution logistics require innovative approaches. SmartStack, a modular logistics solution, provides an effective answer to these challenges.
Companies can pack goods perfectly - but palletisation has so far been lacking
Automatic packaging systems are nowadays used almost universally by e-shops. Key to 21st century logistics, these systems create packages with millimetre precision. However, standard palletizing methods in transport and distribution logistics are becoming inefficient, especially when dealing with irregular shapes and formats, prompting the need for new solutions.
21st century logistics with SmartStack, as an innovative tool in transport logistics, brings solutions to these problems. Thanks to its modular nature and customization capability, SmartStack optimizes the palletization process for e-shops and effectively solves the problem of unstable and incompletely filled pallets.
SmartStack is a modern solution that uses AI and AR to optimize transportation
What he does SmartStack What makes it truly unique is its integration with augmented reality (AR) technology. During the loading process, warehouse workers wear certified AR goggles that display interactive information on how to properly place a package on a pallet. This technology not only increases palletizing accuracy and efficiency, but also reduces the time it takes to stack a pallet.
With AR glasses, the warehouse worker has the ideal configuration of goods on the pallet right in front of his eyes
The integration of AR technology means workers can see a visualisation of the ideal pallet configuration right in front of them, allowing them to quickly and correctly arrange packages as required. This simplifies the entire process and, among other things, increases workplace safety by minimising the risk of errors during palletisation.
The benefits of SmartStack with AR technology are clear: palletization efficiency is increased, transport and logistics costs are reduced, and last but not least, the overall sustainability of the distribution chain is improved. SmartStack is thus a key element for e-shops that want to remain competitive in the rapidly changing digital commerce landscape.
