CMC Launches New CMC Genesys at CID20

CMC, an Italian manufacturer of automated packaging solutions has announced the official launch of the CMC Genesys. The company is keeping pace with its innovation promise made in 2013 when it engineered the first 3D packaging concept that creates right sized packaging leading to reducing volumes, materials and shipping costs. Since then, game-changing creativity has driven the way to a wider portfolio of packaging solutions that look beyond any e-fulfilment boundaries.

At this year’s CID20 in late May, CMC officially unveiled the new CMC Genesys the only auto-packer that can be directly connected to a warehouse storage through the CMC patented Vary-Tote system. This innovative concept allows the customer to feed and pack multi-line orders without needing to be strapped or wrapped together. By using lasers to cut and crease the exact box template, CMC Genesys creates a unique box structure that holds items in position removing the need for void fill.

The end customer experience is enhanced through the box’s “easy open” and “resealable strip”, allowing the same box can also be used for returns.

As with other CMC auto packing solutions, the machine dramatically saves labor costs and reduces freight/box volumes and cardboard consumption. Just in time consolidation in the Vary-Tote eliminates needless offline operations and allows the customer to keep pace with the machine speed thus improving productivity. This new fully automated technology eliminates any loading and human operations and improves the customer experience, delivering orders in fit to size, sustainable boxes.

“CMC Genesys is the result of a multiyear study aimed at improving the parcel fulfilment process. One of the major challenges was the ability to pack multi line orders without any offline pre-consolidation process.” said Francesco Ponti, CMC CEO “Not only have we optimised the process, but also improved the ROI with an unprecedented speed for complex, multi-line jobs as high as 900 boxes an hour”. “The word Genesys means beginning, creation and we have chosen this name for a machine that surely redefines 3D Packaging”.
