For nearly 20 years Involved in developing , deploying and proliferating cutting edge modeling and simulation solutions to various industry verticals such as Aerospace, Automotive, Packaging, Heavy Industries

As a co-founder at Axiom in last 12 years + I have worn several hats with a primary focus area of driving research and bringing ™ to life technology solutions and products This is what this talk will touch upon

1 Packaging industry today 2 Auto industry Insights 3 Simulation in packaging design process ™ 1. Packaging industry today

™ Industry Challenges

1 Evolving Consumer Landscape 2 E-Commerce 3 Thinning Margins ™ Common scenarios

All Products (Devices, , All products will face enormous Goods) need to be Boxed, challenges in the journey from 1 Palletized and shipped 3 the Line to the Store Shelf

Product transit failures and Design for end of Line is not recalls are generally expensive on the critical path for all 2 4 manufacturers

™ Traditional approach

1. Primary package 2. Secondary package 3. SKU requirement 4. Shelf and palette 5. package design 6. Supplier selection design design identification trade request

7. Corrugated 8. Stacking pattern, 9. Lab testing Distribution Tests 11. Commercial 12. Commissioning selection pattern stability and verification and support qualification verification transport efficiency system

™ Challenges of the traditional approach

Increased time Increased material Extensive physical Higher indemnity Low sustainable Smaller innovation to market cost testing costs footprint bank

™ Evaluating EOL through traditional Approaches

Challenges Challenges Expensive and time consuming Test Preparation-Expensive and time consuming Non Repeatable Difficult to use for troubleshooting Difficult to arrive at tangible outcomes Benefits Benefits Simulates real life challenges Represents real life challenges Standardized tests – Lower cost and timeline High repeatability

™ Real life distribution tests Simulated distribution tests 2. Auto industry Insights
