Automated Stretch Wrapping & Parcel Dispatch for E-Commerce & 3PL Hubs

Crush carrier Dimensional (DIM) Weight penalties, eradicate corrugated box over-packing, and eliminate dunnage waste. We supply agile, 110V plug-and-play horizontal orbital cells (frequently utilized as cold-stretch tunnel wrappers) purpose-built for long, awkward, or irregularly shaped items that won't fit efficiently on standard turntable pallet wrappers. Because the product doesn't spin - only the film ring moves, our systems provide ultimate stability for high-velocity dispatch environments. Fully compatible with automated load-discharge setups, featuring native ERP and WMS connectivity (via OPC UA, MQTT, and EtherNet/IP) for total traceability and real-time predictive maintenance diagnostics.

Tunnel Wrappers 3PL Fulfillment Irregular Items Product Doesn't Spin Plug-and-Play 110V Pack-Station Dispatch

The Dispatch Bottleneck: Non-Conveyable Freight & SIOC

Standard corrugated boxes fail when shipping bulky, horizontally oriented, or awkwardly shaped products. When dealing with long items, standard pack stations choke as operators waste time constructing custom cardboard boxes and stuffing void fill.

The Solution: Convert irregular freight into SIOC (Ships In Own Container) parcels with the Dynawrap Go 900. Operating at a blistering 120 RPM rotation speed, a single operator can bind loose items up to 34.3" wide and execute bundling of multiple items together for unitization in seconds. Equipped with dual film carriages, the Go 900 applies two layers of high-tension film simultaneously, cutting pack-station cycle times in half. (Note: For massive items extending beyond 34 inches, scale up to the Go 1200). The system’s enterprise-ready PLCs allow for seamless integration with existing WMS (Warehouse Management Systems) and ERP labeling lines.

The Freight Cost Bottleneck: Crushing DIM Weight Penalties

Shipping irregular products (automotive accessories, flat-pack goods, or multi-item orders) in oversized cardboard boxes inflates UPS and FedEx Dimensional Weight (DIM) billing charges and consumes expensive void-fill dunnage. (Note: If your 3PL facility processes high volumes of flat-packs or requires individual box bundling without secondary shipping containers, explore our solutions for Corrugated Boxes & Folded Cartons.)

The Solution: The entry-level Dynawrap Go 600 enables absolute right-sizing through corrugated pad unitization. Operators simply place multi-item orders onto a flat cardboard pad, and the orbital wrapper instantly binds the goods tightly to the board. This eliminates the 6-sided corrugated box entirely, eradicates void fill, and shrinks your shipment to its absolute minimum DIM weight. By vastly accelerating throughput, it routinely reduces labor (requiring 1 worker vs. 2–3 hand-wrapping).

110V / 230V Plug-and-Play

Zero 3-Phase electrical installations required. Instantly deployable across fulfillment mezzanine levels and pick-and-pack cells.

The Infrastructure Bottleneck: Agility & Rapid Deployment

Many e-commerce 3PL warehouses operate across multi-tier mezzanine layouts or leased facilities where running expensive 480V 3-Phase industrial power drops to individual packing tables is financially prohibitive.

The Solution: The entire Dynawrap Go Series is engineered for agile electrical integration. Running on standard single-phase power (110V/120V or 230V) with exceptionally low full-load amp draws (~5.0A to 11.5A), warehouse directors can roll these machines directly to active packing lines, plug them in, and scale unitization throughput immediately without electrician contractor delays.

Enterprise Automation: Dynawrap LUMI™ 3D Algorithmic Vision

Achieve true recipe-free autonomy with our highly stable, non-black-box architecture. Available as an option across the Joy and Pro Series, the LUMI™ System utilizes an Intel® depth-sensing 3D camera and a dedicated embedded controller housed in a rugged industrial enclosure.

Volumetric Scanning

As irregular products enter the zone, the system executes real-time 3D scanning to determine the exact geometry and load dimensions.

Automated PLC Handshake

Our proprietary algorithm automatically calculates and pushes the optimal wrapping parameters directly to the machine's PLC.

Zero-Touch Operation

Operators simply select 'Optimum' or 'Heavy' protection modes on the HMI, and the machine handles the rest - eliminating operator error.

Industry 4.0 Ready: Robotic Cell Integration

Engineered for absolute end-of-line autonomy. Our Pro Series wrappers serve as plug-and-play nodes for dark-warehouse environments, supporting direct handshakes with FANUC, ABB, KUKA, and Universal Robots.

Native SCADA Protocols

Seamless communication via EtherNet/IP, PROFINET, Modbus TCP, OPC UA, and MQTT for centralized ERP/WMS data exchange and telemetry logging.

Automated Handshakes

Standardized execution I/O (Ready, Start, Busy, Complete, Fault) allowing upstream robots to safely load and trigger wrapping cycles.

Predictive Maintenance

Stream real-time VFD faults, motor speeds, heater temperatures, and cycle counts directly to command centers to eliminate unplanned downtime.

EHS Perimeter Safety

CIP Safety and PROFIsafe network integration, paired with hardwired optical light curtains for zero-touch operational security.

Technical FAQ: E-Commerce & 3PL Fulfillment Wrapping

Is an orbital stretch wrapper the same as a tunnel wrapper for e-commerce fulfillment?

Yes. In 3PL fulfillment, orbital wrappers are frequently called "tunnel wrappers" because the parcel passes on a conveyor through a rotating film ring. However, unlike traditional thermal shrink tunnels that consume massive amounts of 480V electricity to melt plastic, an orbital tunnel wrapper uses cold-stretch machine film. This eliminates heat-damage risks to e-commerce products and drastically reduces energy costs.

How does the Dynawrap Go Series process non-conveyable or awkwardly shaped freight faster than standard pack stations?

The Go Series acts as a high-speed SIOC (Ships In Own Container) conversion unit. Instead of operators wasting time building custom cardboard boxes and stuffing void fill for long or irregular items, the dual-carriage orbital ring rotates at 120 RPM around the stationary product, instantly unitizing the shipment in a tight, weather-resistant stretch film cocoon.

How does corrugated pad unitization on an orbital wrapper reduce carrier Dimensional (DIM) Weight billing charges?

When fulfilling multi-item e-commerce orders, standard six-sided boxes introduce unnecessary dead space. By placing the loose goods on a flat corrugated pad and running them through the horizontal wrapper, the film binds the items flush to the board, completely eliminating void fill and shrinking the parcel's cubic volume to its absolute minimum DIM weight.

Can these packaging units be deployed on 3PL mezzanine levels without requiring 480V 3-Phase electrical contractors?

Yes. The entire Dynawrap Go Series is engineered for agile, plug-and-play warehouse deployment. Operating on standard single-phase 110V/120V or 230V power with ultra-low amp draws, fulfillment managers can roll these machines directly to active pick-and-pack stations and power them up immediately without custom industrial wiring.

How does the equipment interface with our existing Warehouse Management System (WMS) to ensure accurate shipping labels?

The wrappers feature enterprise-ready PLCs that connect directly to your facility's network via EtherNet/IP, PROFINET, or OPC UA servers. This architecture supports direct string-based data exchange, allowing the wrapping cell to process production orders from your WMS and automatically trigger inline barcode print-and-apply systems post-wrap.
