RPM for Assembly Manufacturing

Reduce Asset Loss. Improve Visibility.

Managing packaging inventory is critical in realizing the compounded benefits of reusable packaging assets in assembly manufacturing applications. Standard logistics providers have no specialized systems in place to do this, often diminishing the cost benefits and efficiencies of using sustainable packaging. ORBIS leverages our experience to deliver value and maximize ROI on reusable packaging.

ORBIS RPM operates multiple industrial service centers, or depots, across North America and Europe to facilitate the efforts needed to track, retrieve, sort, clean and inventory your packaging. ORBIS manages all types of returnable packaging, from containers to dunnage to metal racks to pallets, including non-ORBIS manufactured packaging.

With enhanced technology, processes and infrastructure, ORBIS collaborates with customers to design and manage sustainable reusable packaging programs, so customers can focus on their business and:
 

  • Reduce transportation costs
  • Improve visibility to packaging at every point in the supply chain
  • Reduce theft, breakage and loss
  • Optimize use of packaging assets
  • Extend life of returnable transport packaging with on-demand cleaning, repair and refurbishment
  • Optimize reverse logistics


Combined with ORBIS SmartTrak, our proprietary asset tracking system, RPM enables you to make instant, strategic decisions on how you replenish and move packaging when and where you need it.
