Proposal for increased productivity along with CO2 reduction in environmental impact through all cardboard packaging! Do you think that SDGs and costs are in conflict with each other?

Many people think that "environmentally friendly products are expensive." In reality, there is such a tendency. Therefore, even if you try to engage in SDGs aimed at reducing environmental impact, it often doesn't go as planned, and you may find yourself unsure of what to do. With our all-cardboard packaging (cardboard pallets, heavy goods packaging, collective packaging, functional packaging), we can provide benefits that are not limited to the environment, such as: - "Reduction of CO2 emissions (achieving SDGs goals)" - "Improvement in productivity" - "Increased logistics efficiency" 【Examples】 - 90% reduction in CO2 emissions - 30% reduction in logistics costs due to improved transportation efficiency - 30% reduction in packaging time due to improved work efficiency - 30% reduction in labor costs due to improved production efficiency *It should be noted that the current packaging materials used by customers vary, so this cannot be generalized. 【Other Benefits】 - Packaging can be done by anyone (even women and the elderly) - Easier unpacking during recalls or re-inspections - Company logos can be printed, enhancing promotional effects and improving company image - If shipping labels are printed, there is no need to stick them on separately Since it is completely custom-made, we will design it according to the customer's usage situation and requirements.

Are you making progress on measures for the "2024 Problem"? With stricter management of drivers' working hours, reducing "waiting time" has become an urgent issue in the logistics field. To address this challenge, our company, Hotron, proposes the "Vehicle Detection Ultrasonic Sensor 'HM-UX2'," which instantly grasps the availability of loading bays. The 'HM-UX2' contributes to the resolution of waiting times by accurately understanding the availability situation, reducing unnecessary waiting and queueing, and shortening waiting times to alleviate the burden on drivers! By replacing the "eyes" of your loading bay management with this high-precision sensor, why not start addressing the "2024 Problem"? Take a look at the product features: "Can it accurately detect availability?" "Can we really use it in our company?" "I just want to know the cost, even if it's an estimate." If you have any questions or requests, please feel free to consult with us.
