Protect human workers with automated box opening
-
Are you concerned about the safety of your human workers when it comes to box opening tasks? With the CASi-IBOD you can mitigate risks and protect your employees from potential harm. By automating the box opening process, CASi-IBOD keeps human workers away from sharp blades and repetitive motions that can lead to injuries. Ensure the well-being of your workforce while maintaining high productivity levels in your warehouse. Other safety features include:
- E-stops: Emergency stop buttons for immediate power disconnection.
- Light curtains: Photoelectric devices that detect presence in a defined safety zone.
- Impact sensor: Detects collisions or force to prevent equipment or product damage.
- Safety tunnels: Physical enclosures that prevent human reach into dangerous moving parts.
Redefine efficiency
-
Manual box opening is not only hazardous but also time-consuming. The CASi-IBOD revolutionises your warehouse and factory operations by providing unmatched efficiency. With its advanced robotic arm and precision vision systems, CASi-IBOD swiftly and accurately opens boxes of various shapes and sizes. Say goodbye to bottlenecks and hello to streamlined efficiency and rapid order fulfillment. What are the features to improve production?
- Automatic cutting tool changes: Software in the control system tracks blade use over time and will issue an alert when blades begin to get dull. Automating this step can significantly reduce downtime related to changing and replacing worn out blades.
- Automatic lid remover: The integrated Lid Remover is part of the CASi-AutoDecant solution. This system removes box lids automatically using an industrial robot. This improves operational efficiency by quickly preparing the box for decanting.
- Box flipper: The carton can be listed vertically from the conveyor and rotated to enable it to be flipped 180 degrees.
- Scan tunnel module: A scanning mechanism that can handle up to five-sided products. The module confirms product received and provides visibility for the customers state of inventory.
CASi-IBOD in action
-
The CASi-IBOD can cut a broad range of box sizes. It measures the size of every oncoming box in real-time, leaning on SKU matches to be seamlessly integrated into standard workflows.
- Side cut: Precision cutting along the vertical faces of the carton.
- Tab cuts: Creating specific notches or tabs for reinforced structural integrity.
- Tape cuts: Automated slicing of adhesive tapes without damaging the box contents.
- Window cuts: Removing a specific section of the box face for product visibility or access.
- Custom cuts: Tailored cutting patterns available on request to meet unique packaging requirements.

Automated packaging system for box rightsizing
-
The CASi-SmartBox is an automated packing system that is designed to provide smart and efficient packaging solutions for businesses of all sizes. This innovative outbound logistics system is available alongside our other logistics solutions, such as our box opening and box packing robots.
Boxes with varying heights and footprints are conveyed into the CASi-SmartBox system, where the height of the highest item is precisely detected. Excess corrugate is cut away and adhesive is applied. Low volume box sizes can be manually lidded, or the system can be integrated with automatic lidding solutions. This process of converting boxes to an appropriate or optimum size is known as rightsizing.
The CASi-SmartBox offers various features to optimise your packaging process, making it a must-have for any modern business looking to streamline their packaging processes. Here are some of the key advantages of the CASi-SmartBox:
- Automatic box resizing for random carton footprints, eliminating the need to merge carton sizes into standard footprints
- A shipping savings calculator that automatically calculates parcel savings for each box on a daily, weekly, and monthly basis
- No need for customer IT support, it is a true drop-in end-of-the-line solution
- Low complexity, as there is no need to route certain carton sizes, full cases, or mailers onto different lines. CASi-SmartBox allows the pass-through of packages that don't need resizing
- Productivity calculators that provide data points such as the number of blade changes, production rates, idle rates, and capacity usage
- Branding flexibility allows customers to use unbranded boxes upstream. When resized, it is possible to place the branded lid of choice on the box
- A portable test station can calculate an intelligent return on investment (ROI). It can weigh and measure packages, calculate dimensional (DIM) savings, and provide an accurate ROI estimate
- Sustainability calculators can help to reduce waste and improve transportation efficiency by increasing truck density
State-of-the-art packaging automation for outbound logistics
-
Using its intelligent box-opening technology, the CASi-SmartBox can dramatically reduce dimensional weight cost of shipping. The CASi-SmartBox can automatically adjust its size to fit the exact dimensions of your product. This eliminates the need for excessive packaging — a win for sustainability goals and profit margins.
The CASi-SmartBox is a highly versatile and affordable system that can be used for a broad number of packaging applications. It can handle a range of products and sizes.
This makes it a perfect solution for businesses with diverse product lines, as other box resizing systems are limited and can only resize one carton footprint per machine.
A long-term cost saving solution
-
For ecommerce businesses, the shipping cost represents 60 to 70 per cent of the total cost of getting a package delivered. This is a much larger component than labour or material.
This automated box rightsizing system has the potential to save hundreds of thousands of dollars in future shipping costs. By removing excess packing material, the CASi-SmartBox ensures each box is the correct size for the product. As well as saving you money on shipping rates, it removes the need for manual calculations, further boosting your bottom line.
Moreover, there’s no need to extensively rearrange your existing packaging line to integrate the CASi-SmartBox into your operations. The only change necessary is to switch from a regular slotted container (RSC) to a half-slotted container (HSC) or tray.
How can we reduce packaging waste?
-
The CASi-SmartBox is an eco-friendly option that can help your company meet its sustainability objectives. This is done by reducing packaging waste and optimising space.
The sustainability calculators can help to reduce the amount of dunnage and corrugated in the waste stream. Additionally, they can help to improve transportation efficiency by increasing truck density.
With its advanced technology, high-speed performance, and smart features, this system can help you to streamline your packaging processes, reduce costs, and improve efficiency
