Unique functionality for packaging and repackaging bulk goods

From bulk to packaging, fully traceable and automated

In the world of bulk logistics, where goods such as vegetable oils, fats, grains, or liquids are received in large volumes, packaging and repackaging into manageable, customer-focused units is a complex but essential process. With Adaption’s Warehouse Management System (WMS), you manage this process from inbound to final packaging fully digitally and according to the highest standards.

Repackaging and packaging

What makes our WMS unique? It not only records storage but also the entire packaging process, down to the level of the machine that transforms bulk product into a final package. Think of a product that ends up directly from an IBC (Intermediate Bulk Container) into a box via a filling machine. Every detail, weight, packaging type, batch data is recorded in real time and is fully traceable.

Moreover, this data is directly integrated with our Transport Management System (TMS) and Forwarding Management System (FMS), so transport planning, loading lists, cost calculation, and invoicing are seamlessly connected.

Repackaging and packaging functionality within the WMS

Fully automated control of packaging processes

Adaption’s WMS enables bulk goods to be automatically processed into final packages. Instructions for filling, packaging, and labeling are digitally controlled and linked to the correct order, including batch data and customer-specific requirements. Recording used machines (such as filling machines or sealers) is also part of the standard functionality. This provides full traceability from raw material to end product.

Functionality: Full support for VAS

Adaption’s WMS supports additional services, such as:

Adding labels
Mixing and melting goods
Filling packages
Cleaning tanks or packaging
Renting extra equipment (such as cranes)

The costs and revenues of these Value Added Services are automatically linked to the correct customer order and charged in the administration.

Instructions via digital work cards with QR codes

Each employee receives a digital work card via the scan app or terminal, which specifies the necessary steps that need to be done. Think of:

Packaging instructions per batch or customer
Automatically generated labels (including ADR)
Photos of expected final products
QR codes for real-time confirmation and error control

This makes the process not only clear but also error-free and fast.

Practical example: Dekker Group packages smarter with Adaption

Dekker Group specializes in handling liquid bulk goods, such as vegetable oils and fats. These products often arrive in large volumes and must be precisely packaged into smaller units, such as tins, bottles, or cans, according to customer-specific requirements. Think labeling, batch separation, and food safety guidelines.

The challenge: accuracy and traceability

Before using Adaption’s WMS, many processes were manual, with limited real-time insight and susceptibility to errors. Customers supply their own IBCs with strict requirements per batch. At the same time, Dekker wanted better control over inventory per IBC and the ability to charge for storage and packaging costs.

The solution: full digitization of the packaging process

Since implementing Adaption’s WMS, Dekker digitally records every part of the process, from incoming bulk to final packaging. The scan app ensures smooth and controlled inbound, after which the system indicates exactly what, how, and in which packaging each order must be filled. Digital work cards with QR codes show clear instructions, including labels, photos, and ADR requirements. Even ‘topping off’ half-full IBCs is fully supported.

VAS orders such as crane rental or flushing are linked to the order and automatically processed in administration and invoicing.

The result: maximum control, minimal errors

Thanks to Adaption, Dekker now has complete oversight and control over their packaging process. Every volume, package, and batch is traceable; customers get exactly what they ask for, and processes run faster and without errors. According to Dekker: “We haven’t been able to set it up this comprehensively anywhere else.”
