HOW IT WORKS
FOUR STEPS TO
SMARTER PACKAGING
SCAN
The scanner measures the highest product point in each box and records the box dimensions in real time.
STORE
All scan data is stored and grouped by box size. Over time, a rich dataset builds capturing real packing patterns.
ANALYZE
Software analyzes the dataset to calculate optimal box heights using percentile breakdowns (80%, 90%, 95%, 100%).
OPTIMIZE
Get actionable box-size recommendations that reduce empty space, void fill usage, and shipping volume.
The SmartFill Optimizer mounts above the packing line, either as a standalone unit or integrated directly into an existing packing station. At each scan, it captures two measurements: the height of the tallest product in the box and the total internal height of the box itself.
Boxes of identical dimensions are automatically grouped together. Results are displayed in percentile format directly on the unit’s screen, showing precisely how much headspace exists across the full range of packing scenarios.
LIVE DATA EXAMPLE
PERCENT ANALYSIS IN ACTION
Based on 211 scans of a 27×40×28 cm box, the SmartFill Optimizer recommends the optimal box height for each tolerance level. Select a row to see the potential saving.
| % Cases | Box Height | Reduction | Profile |
|---|---|---|---|
| 80% | 23.0 cm | 17.8% | AGGRESSIVE |
| 90% | 25.2 cm | 10.0% | RECOMMENDED |
| 95% | 26.5 cm | 5.3% | CONSERVATIVE |
| 100% | 27.0 cm | 3.5% | MAXIMUM |
Box Height Reduction Potential
90% threshold: 5.3% box height reduction with minimal breakage risk
WHY SMARTFILL
What it reduces
SMALLER BOX SIZES
Right-size your boxes based on real scan data. Reduce box purchase costs significantly across your operation.
LESS VOID FILL MATERIAL
When boxes fit the product better, less air cushion or paper fill is needed reducing material spend and waste.
LOWER TRANSPORTATION COST
Smaller, lighter packages mean more boxes per pallet and lower dimensional weight charges from carriers.
CARBON FOOTPRINT
Right-size your boxes based on real scan data. Reduce box purchase costs significantly across your operation.
The business case is straightforward: every box that ships with unnecessary headspace represents a measurable cost in materials, freight, and, increasingly, regulatory exposure.
