A new partnership aims to combine warehouse automation expertise and packaging automation technology to create greater value for customers. Element Logic and Ranpak Holdings Corp. have entered a strategic global partnership focused on integrating Ranpak’s sustainable end-of-line packaging automation into Element Logic warehouse solutions.
The partnership strengthens Element Logic’s ability to deliver end-to-end warehouse automation solutions that help customers improve packing efficiency, reduce packaging material and shipped volume, and respond to packaging requirements that are being phased in under the EU Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation.
As customer expectations, sustainability requirements and operational complexity continue to increase, warehouse operators are seeking more integrated automation solutions across the entire fulfilment process. By combining Element Logic’s expertise in warehouse automation, software and system integration with Ranpak’s specialist capabilities in rightsizing, box forming, closing, computer vision and paper-based product protection, the two companies can deliver a more connected and efficient outbound logistics flow.
The partnership builds on existing collaboration between the companies and enables Element Logic to incorporate Ranpak’s packaging automation technologies as part of broader warehouse automation projects. Rather than treating packaging as a standalone process, customers can benefit from solutions where picking, packing and shipping are designed as part of one integrated operation.
Ranpak’s end-of-line automation replaces manual box-building with machines that automatically select, erect and right-size each box around the order. Combined with Element Logic’s system design, software and automation expertise, these technologies can help customers reduce packaging waste, optimise transport efficiency and increase throughput and consistency in warehouse operations.
The partnership reflects Element Logic’s ambition to continuously expand its solution portfolio and support customers across the entire warehouse value chain, from inbound logistics and storage to order fulfilment, packaging and final shipment.
“At Element Logic, we continuously expand our solution portfolio to help customers optimise warehouse performance from inbound processes to final shipment,” said CEO Ankush Malhotra. “Partnering with Ranpak strengthens our packaging offering and enables us to deliver even greater value through integrated, scalable and sustainable solutions.”
“We are proud to build this partnership with Element Logic, providing a trusted offering that covers end-of-line packaging processes while working synergistically with other core solutions in their implementations,” adds Ranpak CEO Omar Asali. “With Ranpak playing a role in these integrations, Element Logic is offering their customers the pinnacle of flexibility and efficiency as they design and integrate intralogistics flows.”
