Ranpak Holdings Corp. today announced a major expansion of its existing relationship with Walmart, one of the world\u2019s largest multinational retailers. <\/p>\n
Under the terms of this strategic agreement, Walmart will install numerous Ranpak AutoFill\u2122 systems across its five Next Generation Fulfillment Centers, streamlining its fulfillment process, reducing packaging waste, and simplifying work for associates.<\/p>\n
Walmart currently utilizes Ranpak AutoFill\u2122 machines at its McCordsville, Indiana, fulfillment center. The upcoming deployment will include: Greencastle, Pennsylvania; Joliet, Illinois; Lancaster, Texas; and Stockton, California.<\/p>\n
\u201cOur collaboration with Walmart represents a significant milestone for Ranpak as we continue to scale our automation capabilities to meet the needs of the world’s largest retailers,\u201d said Omar Asali, Chairman and CEO of Ranpak<\/a>. \u201cWalmart\u2019s ongoing investment in automation reflects our shared commitment to reducing friction for associates while optimizing performance across every stage of the supply chain.\u201d<\/p>\n Introduced in 2021, Ranpak\u2019s AutoFill\u2122 system, when paired with Ranpak\u2019s Decision Tower, is a fully automated solution for void filling and box closing that leverages an innovative, AI-powered machine vision technology to precisely measure voids. This enables the optimal amount of paper filler required to protect products during shipment, significantly reducing waste and damage to shipping contents while improving throughput.\u00a0<\/p>\n By streamlining the end-of-line packaging process, the AutoFill\u2122 solution allows Walmart to ship customer orders faster by removing another step in an already streamlined process and allows fulfillment center associates to focus on fulfilling orders more efficiently for customers.<\/p>\n \u201cAt Walmart, we are constantly seeking solutions that increase speed of service for our customers and simplify work for our associates,\u201d said Vik Gopalakrishnan, Senior Vice President of Automation Engineering at Walmart. \u201cRanpak\u2019s Autofill\u2122 system offers us a meaningful way to reduce packaging waste and get our products into our customers\u2019 hands faster.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
