Combining Advanced Packaging and Picking Technologies

Performance Health prides themselves on providing products and services that make people’s lives better. By servicing the post-op and rehabilitation sector of the medical field, as well as athletes, they’ve been able to do just that. However, with increasing demand, their distribution center needed some help to fulfill orders more efficiently.

In 2023, Performance Health set a goal to transform their supply chain in order to drive productivity and efficiency. They were given a short time frame to accomplish this goal and so speed was of the essence. Naturally, they coined the plan “Project Jesse”, named after Olympic sprinter Jesse Owens. With such an aggressive goal and timeline, Performance Health knew automation would be key to getting the results they needed.

It was important to not only streamline the packaging process in every aspect – but to speed it up while increasing quality and efficiency. Performance Health also had goals to cut down on packaging waste, reduce dim weight and shipping costs, and optimize labor throughout their distribution center.
