[Case Study] Automation of Packing for Delivery Shipping Boxes for Mail Order Sales

We have released an analysis software, the Optimal Box Proposal Engine, which simulates the sizes (length, width, height) of packaging cardboard boxes that will reduce costs based on actual shipping performance (size information). Shipping costs vary significantly based on the total size of the three dimensions of the packaging cardboard used. By minimizing the number of dimensions, substantial reductions in shipping costs are possible. The Optimal Box Proposal Engine calculates the minimum cardboard size suited for the product based on shipping performance, contributing to reductions in shipping and material costs. We have successfully achieved a cost reduction of 13.2%, approximately 2.5 million yen per month, for e-commerce operators. The Optimal Box Proposal Engine allows users to verify the reduction amount based on the actual cardboard boxes used (original boxes) and the calculations from the engine. A free simulation is available for the first time, so please feel free to download the catalog and consult with us. The Optimal Box Proposal Engine requires actual shipping data (size) of the products, so it is proposed in conjunction with the Packaging Box Selection Engine (BOX Engine). * Packaging Box Selection Engine: https://www.vanning-master.jp/vm_cb01.html

To prevent the spread of the novel coronavirus infection, the "Loading Automation Calculation System" Vanning Master introduction seminar will be held online via TV conference format as needed. **Implementation Overview** 1. Introduction of the loading software We will explain the scenarios for utilizing the loading software and the general content of the loading algorithm. 2. Conducting loading simulations with data prepared in advance You will experience the processing speed and we will explain the loading results. We will recalculate by changing data values and parameter values to address discrepancies with reality and hold a Q&A session. 3. Explanation of how to utilize it in business - Introduction of the cloud version - Introduction of the on-premises version - Regarding data linkage - Methods for internal adjustments, etc. We will listen carefully to your company's challenges and propose solutions.

At the logistics ICT experiential showroom "MFLP ICT LABO 2.0" opened by Mitsui Fudosan in Funabashi City, Chiba Prefecture, our Vanning Master is being showcased and introduced. The Vanning Master is a system that optimizes the loading of products (vanning) onto trucks, etc., based on size information (length, width, height). It automates the creation of loading plans that were previously reliant on manual labor and allows for the confirmation and adjustment of loading results through 3D simulation. - About "MFLP ICT LABO 2.0": Official website of "MFLP ICT LABO 2.0" *Reservations are required for visits. Location: 2-3-1 Hamacho, Funabashi City, Chiba Prefecture (inside MFLP Funabashi & GATE) Access: 9-minute walk from Minami-Funabashi Station on the JR Keiyo Line. - Exhibition content: Introduction of the Vanning Master.
