Steel-Framed Crates

Situation

An aerospace customer had a large box where the product was kept under dry ice. When the ice melted, it damaged the inside of the box. The result was that an expensive crate could only be used for one or two shipping cycles.

Solution

Since the crate had large dimensions, we proposed a steel-framed crate with plywood panels and a plastic interior. Though steel is more expensive it can support higher loads and also has a longer life expectancy than the standard heavy-duty crate in the competitors’ offering. Our design also featured plywood panels in place of steel panels ensuring that the PSAP solution had a favorable impact on the client’s logistics budget.

Outcome

Because the PSAP design was more durable and easier to maintain the client was able to use and reuse each crate for five cycles. Any initial reservations involving price were eliminated by the overall PSAP value which showed a true savings of 60% in the client’s crating operations.
