Car accidents happen every day \u2013 in fact according to an article published on Newsweek.com in August 2015, the U.S.\"future was on track for 46 million accidents last year.\u00a0With 210 million drivers on the road about 6 percent, or about 125,000 people, were expected to get into an accident daily.<\/p>\n

Ninety-four percent of car accidents in the U.S. involve human error, according to Google. To combat distracted driving, the tech world is developing technologies to reduce these accidents by assisting drivers and helping them make better choices.<\/p>\n

Blind spot monitors, lane deviation alerts, backup cameras and automatic brakes are becoming standard in many car models. And eventually driver-less\u00a0cars may become the norm. Google, Tesla and BMW are already testing a fleet of self-driving cars, which are intelligent enough to take you where you want to go safely by removing the potential for human error.<\/p>\n

When it comes to stretch wrapping,about 0.5 percent<\/a> of loads shipped will not make it to their destination safely. It doesn\u2019t sound like much, but every year that 0.5 percent adds up to $60 billion\u00a0worth of products that are unsellable due to damage.<\/p>\n

How do you know your loads won\u2019t be part of that 0.5 percent?<\/p>\n

Just like cars are taking the human error out of driving, a new generation of intelligent stretch wrappers is taking the human error out of stretch wrapping.<\/p>\n

Conventional stretch wrappers require the operator to make choices to set up the machine to wrap a load effectively: things like rotation speed, number of film layers, wrap force applied to the load, etc. Unfortunately, the interactions between these choices aren\u2019t always obvious and it\u2019s hard and tedious work to arrive at the right combination.<\/p>\n

Consequently, it\u2019s all too easy to wind up with less than satisfactory results \u2013 loads that have an unnecessary risk of being damaged during shipment as a result of ineffective stretch wrapping.<\/p>\n

But with intelligent stretch wrappers, the machine will choose the correct settings based on things the operator knows,\u00a0like the load\u2019s weight, shape and make up. Then the stretch wrapper will wrap a load so it ships with the least risk of being damaged on the way to its destination. This intelligent wrap set up is based on 40+ years of stretch wrapping expertise.<\/p>\n

While we\u2019re not yet ready to hand over control of our cars, we can feel comfortable trusting stretch wrapping to computers.\u00a0The risk of human error, and billions of dollars in product damage, can be reduced.<\/p>\n
