Northeast with more to come in 2025 and beyond. These high-capacity systems support the largest and most au- tomated plants in our industry. The benefits include an increase in corrugator efficiency, significantly reduced product handling and waste, increased storage capacity, greatly improved energy consumption, reduction in plant footprint and building construction costs to name a few. If you are planning a new greenfield or looking to upgrade an existing facility there is no economic reason not to con- sider vertical storage. Talk to WSA to see how this technol- ogy can benefit your company. “WSA USA also continues to advance our Finished Goods Solutions with our new Pallet Inserter and Load Tiering Device. In one compact machine we can automat- ically stack two units and place on one pallet. Or palletize individual units as required. Its another example of how we automate our customers processes. Why ask a forklift driver to double stack a unit and place on a pallet if this can be done with automation. “The WSA iFAS Factory Automation System seamless- ly integrates our material handling system with the plants ERP system and other OEM equipment from corrugator takeoff through WIP and throughout the finished goods line and warehouse with advanced order tracking and automation. All supported by our US based team which provides intimate customer support. This is the most ad- vanced Industry 4.0 Smart Factory system available ever running in many plants across North America today. “When we think about the future of our finished goods warehouses, we see high bay fully automated dark ware- house storage and retrieval systems and a fully automated truck staging and loading process.

In our simulation module we create a digital twin of the exact planned CAD layout, include all of the specifications of the converting machines, corrugator and ancillary equipment, input all the order data statistics from your ERP system, factor in shifts, scheduled and unsched- uled downtime, PM’s and much more. We include details from A-Z including number of fork lift drivers in shipping, truck loading times etc. What happens next year if I replace an older machine with a new high speed flexo or diecutter. What if I upgrade my corrugator to a higher speed. We maintain your layout in digital form to be able to have intel-
