At Flexcon, we work to optimize these container chains every day.

DID YOU MISS MODEX 2020?

Here''s what we learned, saw, and petted at this year''s show:

Talk of the Floor: How to Help in Times of Crisis

The uncertainty surrounding COVID-19 occupied the thoughts of show-goers. Many agreed that material handling will play a key role during shutdowns and emergencies, helping relieve supply chain issues and making convenience services easier to obtain.

Count on Logistics Professionals to Make the Best of Any Situation

Mysterious container pyramids appeared in vacant exhibitor booths around the show, courtesy of Flexcon’s merry pranksters. SNL’s Colin Jost was also on hand for MHI industry night. He quipped that he had no idea what Modex was, and only showed up because he thought it was the name of a vaccine.

Robots Stepping Up

Robotics continues to be the trend for an increasing variety of uses. The show featured reactive robots that receive orders from a WMS and instantly dispatch to carry them out. We also saw manufacturers juicing the speed of the latest ASRS and automatic picking systems.

Rapid Prototype Is a Fast Favorite

Flexcon debuted its Rapid Prototype System—the first of its kind at Modex. In addition to being fascinating to watch, the technology allows all collaborators—customers, integrators, automation suppliers and Flexcon team members—a precision prototype to test and review prior to production. Since its introduction, Flexcon’s rework-reissue rate has dropped from 2% to 0%.

Award for Best Tradeshow Giveaway: Puppy Love

The floor-weary and sleep-deprived had a chance to escape and unwind at Bastian Solutions’ Puppy Lounge. Funny how therapeutic petting a dog can be. (Maybe that’s why they call it puppy power.)

Coming into a company and designing a complete container system gives us our greatest thrill at Flexcon.

“It’s really a way to make a positive impact on every person, process and product in a company,” explains Ken Beckerman, President of Flexcon. “Because containers are literally part of every aspect of business.”

So when consulting and engineering firm, Fortna, asked us to do a total container makeover for a world-leading cosmetic retailer’s new distribution center, we jumped at the chance.

Flexcon brought its vision to a container solution that stretched from inventory receipt to retail store delivery and included totes and bins for picking, packing, automated storage and retrieval systems, shipping and conveyors.

Read how our system of 125,000 containers helped our customer reach its goals and fulfill its vision of perfection:

At the beginning of Marvel’s Avengers: Endgame, the Avengers are in a sorry state. Iron Man is lost in space, Hulk and Thor are planet-hopping while Hawkeye and Antman are nowhere to be found. The whole team is in in disarray with the exception of Black Widow. Despite her lethal skills and penchant for adventure, she elects to hang back and hold things together at headquarters.

During the early days of COVID, Flexcon had its own hero back at HQ—JZ, aka Joyce Zarro. While our entire team was locked down at home, she was our Captain Continuity, a facemasked fixture who kept coming into headquarters every day to attend to all the little things that make a big difference in running the business and serving our customers.

She was the backup to our backup plan.
In addition to her real job in customer service, JZ handled all the things often taken for granted and impossible to accomplish from home. That included measuring samples and taking pictures of prototypes for engineering. She wore the IT cape by rebooting office computers when employees’ VPN lines went down. Day after day, JZ was the one who paid the invoices, received the deliveries, listened to voicemail, and opened the postal mail—all the things that enabled our people at home to fight on.

It’s easy to overlook all the things that absolutely have to get done to run a business but can only be accomplished in person. JZ handled them all during the difficult period when everyone was still trying to figure out basic protocols and scrambling to set up remotely.

Personal commitment makes virtual work.
Without JZ, the rest of the Flexcon team simply couldn’t have done their jobs. As many businesses have learned during the days of work from home, the 2% of things that can’t be done remotely are the ones no company can operate without. As a result of JZ filling that gap tirelessly, the rest of the company has been able provide for customers seamlessly. Here are a few of the things we’ve been able to accomplish that couldn’t have been done without our Container Avenger back at headquarters:

Added a new laser for cutting divider systems 40% faster.
Outfitted a leading fitness brand with automatic storage and retrieval system (ASRS) bins.
Helped get the vote out with corrugated plastic ballot boxes for Florida.
Gave a cosmetic company a container makeover with totes, plastic pallets, dividers and more.
Assisted the military on a classified project. (We can’t say any more.)
Initiated website improvements that will save clients time. (Coming soon.)

Ready to take your project off hold?

We can’t wait to help you get back to business.

The COVID-19 crisis is making everyone think differently about supply chains these days. From the C suite to main street, people have been reminded of the importance of a robust and secure flow of goods.

As the immediate considerations get worked out and the toilet paper returns to shelves, the team at Flexcon is thinking about the role of containers in creating resilient, adaptable, safe, sustainable—and always efficient and cost effective—supply chains.

We’ve highlighted the important ways that containers can help to optimize supply chains in a recent post. If you’re in the process of retooling your systems and processes, consider these ways that the perfect container can support your success:

Space-saving totes help minimize real estate costs.
Nestable or collapsible containers can lower transportation costs.
Plastic totes and bins boost your sustainability.
Intelligent tote design can help contain damage costs.
Efficient totes support high performance pick and pack.

Read all the reasons, or set up a call to discuss how we can help you optimize your container chain for whatever the future brings.

Recently we received a thank you note and this picture from a customer who came to us through a dealer. It seems our containers were used in some capacity as Chicago’s McCormick Place was transformed into a 500-bed field hospital.

We had no idea until the customer who came to us through a dealer reached out. You see, weeks earlier, the McCormick Place containers were just another order with odd specs, a pinched timeline and an unidentifiable buyer. Business as usual for Flexcon. We sure are glad to have lent a hand.

The experience gave our team a nice lift during these days of social distancing and even inspired a blog post. Read it here, and if you have an urgent container need, or even a non-urgent one, we’re still making containers—and trying to make a difference the best we can.

Totes are the backbone of your automated storage and retrieval system (ASRS). If you stop and think about it, everything in your production and your supply chain is riding on them.

That understanding led Flexcon to take a holistic approach in developing the first fully-integrated ASRS tote system.

Now you can get a system of totes, plastic pallets, dividers, dollies, placards, barcoding solutions and pallet caps designed to work together, with your technology and your entire operation—precisely and efficiently.

When your totes and your ASRS aren’t in sync, it’s a disaster. When your totes, pallets, dollies, dividers aren’t jelling, it’s a threat to efficiency, quality and safety.

Flexcon tailors a complete tote solution to your ASRS, your business and your supply chain that helps optimize every aspect of your operation that totes touch. From your picking stations to your pallets. Your loading machines to your loading docks. And your storage areas to your customers’ stores. Expect perfection.
