You’ve invested a fortune in your logistics system.

But two factors can signicantly restrict your return

on that investment:

• Items outside your control — such as non-compliant vendor

labels

• Difculties uncovering the root cause when inefciencies

arise

Improving your logistics

Package Analytics software is an analytical toolkit that

enables real-time monitoring and retroactive diagnostics

of system performance and health by connecting package

images and data.

Together with one of SICK‘s intelligent sensors, this software

enables retailers shipping direct to consumer to access data

and images that validate package contents, size, and integrity

to reduce losses from fraud, returns, or unexpected shipping

charges.

Impacts Throughout Your Logistics Operations

Leading retailers use Package Analytics to improve

efciencies throughout their operations, including:

• Maintenance or Operations:

− Receive alerts — e.g., when no-reads increase — and

immediately review images of the problem packages

− Access images by searching or ltering by package

attributes to investigate no-reads, side-by-sides,

oversized packages, etc.

• Compliance: assess label quality and send high-resolution

images of non-compliant labels (clarity, location, obstruc-

tions) to vendor

• Receiving: send package images to report damaged

packages

• Customer Service: instantly retrieve images for consumer

orders to validate correct items were shipped

• Engineering: use package statistics to determine new

equipment specs (e.g., minimum gap requirements)
