BOXXing out the competition

There's a new machine in town, and it's taking human jobs. Transformers are actually taking over.

Canadian Packaging reported that Eagle Packaging Machinery LLC, based in Miami, FL, has a new machine that it (Eagle Packaging) hopes will decrease operators' carbon footprints.

The new machine called BOXXER is an automated system that will build cases and place products in them. Which will negate the purpose of having hardly any human presence in a factory that does such thing.

According to Canadian Packaging, BOXXER will "help increase productivity and lower labor costs."

To learn more about how it works, read the original post.

  1. It's good - but remember that Canadian Packaging is your "competitor!" (Let's put it this way - I'd probably get fired if I posted something from Runner's World on the Canadian Running webpage.) That doesn't mean you can't use this story; just go right to the BOXX website and see if you can find an original press release. (I can pretty much guarantee you that's where Canadian Packaging got this. In fact, I think I got this press release too at MA.)
