The Operational Challenge

Legacy Inefficiencies in Packaging

Manual sheet layouts on standard roll widths generate 8–14% skeleton scrap, costing packaging converters hundreds of thousands in wasted board.

Without autonomous software intelligence, organizations face exponential operational labor drag, transcription error rates exceeding 8%, and compounding response delays that jeopardize enterprise SLAs.

Solution Architecture

How Fortiv Solves This Problem

ArtiosCAD & ERP Order Ingestion

Pulls structural carton vector geometries, order quantities, and paperboard roll stock balances.

Combinatorial 2D Nesting Solver

Optimization algorithms interlock multi-carton blanks and calculate optimal master roll web widths.

Grain & Crease Constraint Engine

Enforces paperboard grain direction rules for optimal carton folding rigidity and compression strength.

Prepress Die Layout Export

Generates optimized CNC laser die-board cutting files and print layout proofs automatically.

Enterprise Security & Compliance

Zero-Hardware, SOC 2 Type II Encrypted Deployment

All data processing executes in isolated single-tenant environments. Proprietary company records, documents, and client communications are strictly encrypted in transit (TLS 1.3) and at rest (AES-256) with zero model retention and no external training on customer data.

Deployment Sprint

4-Week Production Implementation Roadmap

2

Week 2: Configure press gripper margins, stripping knife rules, and grain direction constraints.

3

Week 3: Pilot automated nesting with structural packaging designers.

4

Week 4: Plant-wide rollout across all corrugated, carton, and converting lines.

Technical & Operational FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions (6)

We support Esko ArtiosCAD, Impact CAD, Adobe Illustrator Packaging Suite, and AutoCAD DXF/DWG.

Grain direction angles for box compression strength (ECT/BCT) are enforced as non-violable mathematical constraints.

Yes. Multi-order combo nesting groups compatible board grades and caliper thicknesses to maximize sheet utilization.

Machine-specific gripper margins, lead/trail edge rules, and automatic scrap stripping clearances are factored into the nest.

No. Optimized die layouts export directly to existing rotary and flatbed die-cutters (Bobst, Heidelberg, Marumatsu).

Given high paperboard costs, recovering 4–6% in board trim delivers full payback within 45 to 60 days.
