Improve End-of-Packaging Line Sustainability By Reducing Stretch Film Consumption
|
| Company: | Orion Packaging Systems, Inc. |
| The sustainability of packaging is less about the physical package and
more concerned with lowering the social, environmental, and economic impacts of packaging across the supply chain. Reducing stretch film consumption is essential for improving the sustainability of transporting pallet loads.
If at first glance conserving a packaging material as insubstantial as
stretch film seems trivial, consider that in 2006, the year the Freedonia Group used as a base for an analysis of U.S. stretch film consumption, organizations spent $1.5 billion on this material. Freedonia analysts predict that the U.S. market for stretch film used in pallet wrapping will increase 4.7 percent annually from 2006 through 2011. |

Understanding Optical Character Recognition
|
| Company: | Microscan Systems Inc. |
| Optical Character Recognition, commonly known as OCR, is distinct from linear and 2D symbologies in
that it is simultaneously machine-readable and human-readable. OCR does not replace the more robust,
secure options of linear and 2D symbologies. For traceability applications, 2D symbols offer the highest
level of data security and reliability, and linear symbols offer an intermediate level of security and reliabil-
ity. OCR alone offers the least. OCR is most effective when used to complement linear and 2D symbols.

Sustainable Packaging and Instapak® Packaging Foams
|
| Company: | Sealed Air Corp. |
| Sustainability has become an important metric in the Protective Packaging
Industry over the past several years. Often seen as an extension of the
“Environmentally Friendly Packaging” efforts from the ‘80’s and ‘90’s, Sustainability is actually much more broadly based and encompasses far greater concerns than landfill avoidance and controlling litter. One term most often used to describe Sustainability is that it is “Holistic” in nature – involving broad based consideration of all of the various elements that go into the process and product. |

Bar Code Readers Increase WIP Visibility for Industrial Appliance Manufacturer
|
| In order to stay ahead in today’s competitive manufacturing environment, effective inventory manage-
ment must extend beyond the warehouse and include real-time monitoring of work-in-process inventory
as well. When a large manufacturer of industrial electronic appliances decided it was time to implement
a data-driven production line system in their China-based facilities, they set out to achieve very specifi c
goals. The automated component traceability system needed to provide a complete manufacturing history
of each unit and the visibility required to optimize production line effi ciency.

However, the Highway Department needed its information to travel to their office’s computer database, located 15 miles away. |
