~50% of in-transit damage traces to ineffective stretch wrapping. Inside an automated DC, the same root cause stops AMR systems instead. Correct containment force — for the right load type — is the fix. https://t.co/pWGHfZo3TE
An AMR stops mid-route. Not a sensor fault. A load with insufficient containment force shifted during cornering. That's a stretch wrapper spec problem — and it's preventable. https://t.co/1NkZXAJ8LD
In an AMR warehouse, a film tail isn't a wrapping issue — it's a sensor trigger. Robot stops. Backlog builds. Human intervenes. That's what the system was built to prevent. New post on what film tail management actually costs a system. https://t.co/ib2YCHgJAT
We're on the floor at #PetFoodForum 2026 in Kansas City! 🐾 Find Jon and Lucas at Booth 2436 through April 29 — stop by and say hello.

A highly automated warehouse where someone still has to cut a film tail by hand isn't a maintenance problem. It's a scope problem. ABB puts unplanned downtime at ~$125K/hour — and in an automated facility, a wrap station disruption doesn't stay local.
Film tails triggering AMR sensors. Manual cuts creating cycle time variance the WES wasn't designed to absorb. These aren't random failures — they're spec failures. What to specify for an AMR-integrated wrap station: https://t.co/MahHZtX0eH
That's a wrap on MODEX 2026! Thank you to everyone who stopped by, met with our team, and let us show you what Lantech is building.
Already looking forward to the next one!

We're live at MODEX 2026! Come find us — Booth B-8927 — and see the QL400XT and C1000 Case Erector running in person. If you've been curious about what a smarter end-of-line looks like, this is the place to see it.

Automation maturity isn’t about how advanced your systems look. It’s about whether outcomes repeat—across shifts, people, and variable loads. Repeatability is the real signal.
Stretch wrappers for dayssss.
Rows of systems in run-off, each one put through its paces before it ships.
It’s easy to focus on the machines—but it’s the people behind them who make the difference. That’s the Lantech standard.
Damage isn’t just a write-off.
Its real cost shows up in labor, rework, customer trust, and firefighting—often driven by inconsistent wrapping.
What’s invisible is usually expensive.
