The Automated Document Applicator has found its second German partner in Hadem Logistiksysteme GmbH
The German company Hadem Logistiksysteme GmbH and Inther Logistics Robotics (ILR) have agreed a close cooperation regarding the Automated Document Applicator (ADA). This machine is deployed in packaging lines. It prints, folds and applies documents to the exterior of parcels in a 'documents enclosed' docufoil. The goal of the partnership is to increase the coverage of the German market.
Currently the first machines are being implemented throughout Europe by partners of Inther Logistics Robotics (ILR). This is done through partners since ILR's strength is inventing logistic machines which are improving the customer's warehouse processes. Today, ILR cooperates closely with the following partners:
- Hadem Logistiksysteme GmbH (Germany)
- Inther Group (Netherlands)
- SRD Maschinenbau GmbH (Germany)
There are multiple reasons to implement an ADA. Examples of this are:
- Automatic packlist handling.
- Cross-border transport: customs documents.
- E-commerce/retail - OEM shipments: For guarantee reasons of e.g. consumer electronics it is interesting that the carton will not be opened till the moment of arrival at the final customer. Can also save handling costs when the distributor uses the OEM packaging instead of repacking in secondary packaging.
- E-commerce - return process: customers by more online when the return process is considered as convenient. When the delivery note docufoil is attached over the retour shipping label the customer won't have to perform extra handling actions to return it. Furthermore, the original shipment packaging is more likely to be used, increasing the chance of undamaged product return.
- Law and regulations: For the medical device industry and some hazardous goods it is mandatory to apply the packing list on the outside.
Due to the diversity of reasons multiple industries/countries can benefit from the ADA. For more information see: https://www.documentapplicator.com/.

Australian supermarket chain rolls out AI-powered grocery carts

Grocery shoppers in Australia will soon be able to zip in and out of the store in record time, bypassing the lines for cashiers or self-checkout kiosks altogether. They can just walk in, make their selections, and walk out with their bags in hand.

The secret to this express shopping experience is the “Caper Cart,” an AI (artificial intelligence)-powered smart trolley from San Francisco-based Instacart. In its first deployment in the Asia Pacific (APAC) region, the system is being tested by Coles Supermarkets, a food and beverage retailer with more than 1,800 grocery and liquor stores throughout the country.

How green is your glue?

If you’re looking to make the packaging process more eco-friendly, the obvious place to start is with the box itself. And that’s exactly what Salt Lake City-based Packsize did when it made its initial foray into sustainable packaging back in 2002. That year, the company launched its first product, an innovative on-demand packaging system designed to reduce cardboard waste (and the need for filler material) by creating a right-sized box for each shipment.

Now the company is ready for the next step: greening up the glue.
