At a time when sustainability is becoming increasingly important, companies are under pressure to reduce their environmental footprint. A significant part of this pressure comes from the need to reduce packaging waste and use transportation resources more efficiently. The Packaging and Packaging Waste Directive encourages companies to improve their logistics processes and minimize excess space in shipments. In fact, too much "air" is still being shipped.
Many companies face the challenge of oversized packaging, sub-optimal pallet stacking and inadequate loading of containers and trucks. These inefficiencies lead not only to wasted valuable space, but also to higher transportation costs and greater environmental impact. While companies actually want to save on transportation costs and reduce their environmental impact, Faes offers an innovative solution: StackAssist.
The solution: StackAssist
At Faes, we understand these challenges and want to help companies optimize their logistics processes. That’s why we developed StackAssist; a software program that calculates the optimal stacking patterns for loading products into boxes, stacking boxes on pallets, and loading boxes into trucks and containers.
StackAssist uses an advanced calculation module to determine the most efficient stacking methods, taking into account factors such as product dimensions, weight, stack height and fragility. This approach minimizes not only empty spaces, but also transport costs and damage during transit.
The benefits of StackAssist
The result of using StackAssist is clear: lower costs, less waste and a smaller carbon footprint. Faes strives to support companies in improving their logistics processes and promoting sustainability. With StackAssist, we offer a solution that not only increases efficiency, but also contributes to a cleaner and greener future.
