Abstract
Due to the rise in e-commerce, Germany's mail-order companies need flexible data processing and technical solutions for dealing with the enormous variety in sales orders. To contain the distribution and packaging costs, reduced shipment volumes and new automation solutions should be realized. To achieve this, preliminary studies are required, dealing with new packing strategies and physic-based simulations of the packaging process.
