Customer Case - High-Voltage Equipment
Tailored Packaging for High-Voltage Equipment
Effective packaging design is key to logistics efficiency in global markets. When tackling packaging challenges for high-voltage components, one energy leader found innovative solutions to improve operations, safety, and cost efficiency.
The Challenge: Modular Packaging Redesign for High-Voltage Equipment
A leading energy company came to Nefab looking to improve its existing packaging. The key issue was that with the existing dimensions, the product was too wide to fit in standard shipping containers, requiring reliance on flat racking, which caused inefficiencies and higher shipping costs. Additionally, the packaging couldn't be flat-packed, creating a more cumbersome handling and storage process. The customer needed a robust, modular solution that could optimize shipping, storage, and operational efficiency while ensuring the safety of their high-voltage equipment.
