Amtech Introduces New Capabilities For Hand Assembly, Fulfillment Fort Washington, Pennsylvania based Amtech, a leading provider of AI-powered software solutions for the corru- gated industry, has announced the launch of a new suite geared toward hand work, which has capabilities that helps box and sheet plants centrally manage hand as- sembly, assembled products, contract packaging, and val- ue-add fulfillment services. As containerboard and sheet costs continue to rise, corrugated manufacturers are facing increasing margin pressure. At the same time, customers are seeking broad- er packaging solutions, from kits and displays to pack-out, fulfillment, and contract packaging services. These val- ue-add offerings create opportunities for corrugated busi- nesses to protect margins, strengthen customer relation- ships, and expand revenue with less exposure to board and sheet price increases. This new suite gives manufacturers two levels of ca- pability for managing diversified products and services. The first level – EnCore Assembled Products – supports assembled products such as kits, sets, displays, and oth- er hand assembly workflows. The second level – EnCore Contract Packaging – extends these capabilities for more complex contract packaging, pack-out, and co-manufac- turing operations including customer-supplied materials, component tracking, line reconciliation, variance visibility, and audit support. The suite also includes new hand assembly schedul- ing capabilities in Amtech's Advanced Planning Board, en- abling schedulers to manage converting and hand assem- bly work together. This gives teams better visibility into crew sizing, capacity, person-hour requirements, and the relationship between converting production and down- stream assembly or fulfillment. “Amtech worked directly with the industry to deliver a solution that simplifies the planning, scheduling, exe- cution, and tracking of assembled products and contract packaging,” said Danna Nelson, SVP of Products at Am- tech. “With these new offerings, we are enabling our cus- tomers to strengthen their operations while expanding the commercial offerings they can bring to market.” By bringing these workflows into EnCore and Ad- vanced Planning Board, Amtech helps corrugated manu- facturers reduce the time, cost, and complexity of siloed spreadsheets, homegrown databases, and point solutions primarily built for 3PLs. Plants can manage complex prod- uct structures, components, hand assembly lines, produc- tion reporting, inventory activity, and scheduling from a unified operating platform. This new suite targeted at hand work is part of Amtech's continued investment in helping corrugated manufactur- ers capture new revenue opportunities through diversified products and services.
