Are you facing these issues during the transportation and cleaning of automotive parts? - There is wasted dead space at the top of the returnable boxes for automotive and precision parts. - The boxes for shipping parts and those for cleaning cannot be used interchangeably, leading to inefficiencies in the process. We would like to introduce the packaging design of returnable boxes used for the transportation and cleaning of automotive parts. Before the improvement, during the cleaning process, the dividers would lift, resulting in parts being placed in the returnable boxes without using the dividers, which sometimes caused interference and damage to the parts. This case study demonstrates how we addressed the dead space in the returnable boxes and resolved the issues of damage during parts cleaning through a redesign of the packaging. [Key Points of Packaging Design Improvement] - By creating a structure where parts are placed on top of the dividers, we eliminated the lifting of dividers during cleaning, which helped prevent damage to the parts. - We implemented a locking structure for the dividers that does not use adhesive, allowing for easy assembly and disassembly. Since we only used low-density foam sheets (PP), we reduced environmental impact! - The introduction of dividers allowed for effective use of the dead space above the parts, improving the quantity of parts that can be accommodated. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document.

We will introduce a case where the introduction of vacuum-formed trays solved the issue of product defects. Before the introduction, products were placed directly in containers and stacked for long-term storage, which led to deformation issues. Additionally, since the products were not secured in the containers, they moved during transportation, resulting in defects such as scratches. There was also a challenge with occupying space due to the storage of multiple types of similar products. The introduction of vacuum-formed trays eliminated direct placement. Products are now secured within the containers, eliminating defects such as scratches and deformation during storage and transportation. We combined the distinctive shapes of multiple types of products to allow them to be used with a single tray shape. The shared tray can accommodate eight types of products, including symmetrical ones. **Key Points of Introduction** 1. By changing the storage method from direct placement in containers to vacuum-formed trays, we prevent defects caused by friction between boxes and products, as well as dirt from the boxes adhering to the products. 2. By using a shared tray, products that could not be stacked in storage boxes due to different shapes can now be stacked, leading to improved storage efficiency and enhanced transportation loading efficiency.

We will introduce case studies of products that use different packaging materials for in-process and shipping purposes. Before implementation, in the harness manufacturing process, immediately after the completion of parts, the resin parts were at a high temperature of around 110°C to 120°C, so they were stored in temporary containers until the harness could cool down. When shipping the harnesses, we used PP vacuum-formed trays, but in the high-temperature state immediately after part completion, the vacuum-formed trays would melt, necessitating the use of temporary containers for cooling the parts. After cooling the parts, they were transferred to the shipping PP vacuum-formed trays for shipment. By changing the shipping trays to heat-resistant PP sheets, temporary containers became unnecessary. By switching to heat-resistant PP sheets, we were able to set the parts in the shipping trays as soon as they were completed. [Implementation Points] - By using the same containers for both in-process and shipping, we can reduce the work of transferring items. - Since the containers are shared for both in-process and shipping, we can reduce the need for extra storage space for materials. - Selection of materials suitable for the product. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

This is a case of improving the transportation efficiency of parts when launching 16 types of automotive component valves. The customer's concern was that creating a tray for each valve would require the production of 16 trays, which posed challenges in terms of cost and management. They were also considering whether it was possible to increase the number of valves stored in each tray. Concern 1: For 16 types of hydraulic valves for automotive parts, 16 trays of different shapes were being used. Concern 2: The current product stores 20 valves in one tray. [Packaging Improvement Initiatives] We received data on the 16 valve products and proceeded to consider standardization through 3D design, deciding to change the storage method from horizontal to vertical. As a result, we were able to accommodate the 16 valve products with just two types of trays (standardized trays). By changing from horizontal to vertical storage, the capacity increased from 20 to 25 valves per tray, resulting in a 20% increase in tray loading efficiency. *For more details, please refer to the PDF.
