THE PROBLEM

Harry and David faced a significant challenge in meeting seasonal demand surges and rising e-commerce orders. With labor shortages and the need to scale operations quickly during the peak holiday season, they required a solution to dramatically increase outbound throughput while minimizing labor dependency. Additionally, the project needed to fit seamlessly into an existing, highly constrained facility.

KEY QUESTIONS

  • How can labeling processes handle highly variable product and packaging sizes efficiently?

  • How can the system verify 100% accuracy to meet stringent quality and regulatory standards?

  • How can we design a high-throughput system within the limited physical footprint of the facility?

THE SOLUTION

Maveneer implemented a cutting-edge Physics-based print-and-apply system specifically designed to address Harry and David’s unique challenges. The system leverages predictive kinematics to real-time simulate constraints, conflicts, and resolve issues using a controls system to ensure, maximizing throughput, while maintaining precise accuracy. This compact, space-efficient solution was seamlessly integrated into their facility, enabling rapid deployment In time for their peak season (2022).

KEY RESULTS & INSIGHTS

  • Throughput Boost: Achieved a 400% increase in throughput, ensuring on-time delivery during peak demand periods.

  • Labor Efficiency: Reduced manual intervention by over 50%. Each system replaced 12 operators

  • Space Optimization: Designed and implemented a system that fit within the facility’s limited space without compromising efficiency

  • Accuracy Maintained: Delivered 100% accuracy in labeling, meeting Harry and David’s rigorous standards for quality and compliance.
