Simulated Packaging for Sustainable E-Commerce

More About the Project

Our Digital Twin team first conducted comprehensive site visits, analyzed requirements and began designing a Manufacturing Simulation model that accurately reflected the behavior of the customer’s facility. We modeled the site’s production lines which manage grouping, boxing and labeling. Leveraging data collected from these packaging systems and the automated guided vehicles (AGVs) that move products within warehouses and packaging facilities, our Digital Twin created scenarios for ideal implementation according to the customer’s requirements. Their ideal solution would find a balance between a fast-tracked installation and minimal impact on order delays. The simulation model we designed could also be scaled to cover more sites and means of production, creating opportunities for better decision-making across the enterprise. While this project may only cover one of the customer’s thousands of facilities, it is the beginning of a new initiative that can have a positive impact on consumers and the environment.

IndX’s Advantage

As a strategic partner for The AnyLogic Company, IndX was one of a few names recommended to the e-commerce leader for their packaging optimization initiative. We were chosen because our Digital Twin team made significant efforts to understand their production model and its challenges, then meticulously designed an initial simulation to showcase how their new solutions could be implemented. Beyond the technology, we bring valuable development services and a forward-thinking perspective on digital capabilities. Our worldwide team of simulation experts is uniquely positioned to help businesses across industrial sectors optimize their production, and we will be there to support this industry leader as they implement their sustainable packaging technologies on a global scale.
