Packaging & Value-Add Tasks
The configuration is right the first time.
📦 LOGISTICS & PACKAGING
Value-add tasks demand more than pure packing: pre-assembly, set building, kitting, customer-specific configuration - variant-rich and error-prone.

core target group
What you document: pre-assembly (e.g. mounting a display bracket), set building and kitting (starter kits), packaging configuration per customer, labeling with variant logic, shipping preparation for complex consignments and line changeovers. What you do NOT document: picking tasks - too repetitive; that is what pick-by-light and pick-by-voice are for.
⚠️
The trigger - how do you recognize it?
- Complaints due to configuration errors (wrong set, missing component)
- Training on new orders takes days
- Lines are frequently converted for new packaging
- Pre-assembly errors lead to rework
- International employees need a lot of explanation
ℹ️
How it works with GIRI
QR code at the packaging/pre-assembly station. One instruction per order variant, comparison photos show "this is what correct looks like", customer-specific special requests linked.
Multilingual too: contract logistics often has a very international workforce.
💡
The value
- Fewer complaints through consistent configuration
- Faster training on new orders and line changes
- Scalable despite staff turnover
- Configuration changes in minutes instead of hours
💡
Typical users
- Contract logistics / 3PL with value-added services
- Manufacturers with high configuration diversity
- E-commerce fulfillment with custom packaging
- Electronics with customer-specific configuration
⚠️
What you want to avoid
- One instruction for all variants - be specific per configuration instead
- Treating pre-assembly as "self-explanatory" - otherwise there would be no complaints
- Including picking - wrong use case, too repetitive
