Numina launches Pakt for pack and ship automation

The Numina Group recently launched Pakt, a fully productized pack and ship automation solution built for fulfillment operations. Pakt breaks down the financial and operational barriers for end-of-line automation by reducing pack and ship labor and increasing throughput capacity. In addition, Pakt connects with any robotic fulfillment technology, unlocking full throughput capacity potential in the modern, e-commerce-driven warehouse environment.

Pakt is designed for distribution centers (DCs) with eight or more employees in their packing and shipping departments. The system’s modular design allows it to scale from 800 to 20,000 cartons and full case parcels per day.

Numina Group views fulfillment like a triathlon in that it has three events — picking, packing, and shipping — and warehouses are only as fast as their slowest event. After automating the picking process, the bottleneck often merely shifts to packing and shipping. Pakt eliminates the bottlenecks and labor that exist after picking, ensuring operations can fulfill orders faster and meet customer delivery expectations.

Pakt’s components are powered by RDS, Numina Group’s warehouse execution and control software, and include:

• Scan, Weigh, Vision Audit: Ensures that the right products have been picked into the right shipping container based on weight while capturing an image of the carton content.

• Print, Fold, Insertion (PFI): Automatically inserts any packing slips, marketing materials, or compliance documentation into shipping containers using a robotic arm.

• Void and Auto-Taping: Rules-based, system-directed void insertion and automatic shipping container taping.

• Print and Apply: Automatically manifests, prints, and applies labels for shipping, ASN, UCC, packing slips, packing sheets, and more.

• Shipping Sortation: Automatically sorts shipping containers based on parcel carriers, LTL, FTL, and exception designations.
