Seepje utilises the shells of the Sapindus Mukorossi fruit which contains Saponine. Saponine is a natural form of soap that is released when the shell comes into contact with water.

Ensuring no additional microplastics are in our oceans and keeping the life cycle completely circular. Helping to put our planet first.

uses 175 robots for internal transport within the distribution centre, robotic arms are then used for elevating the packages and sorting them to their corresponding ‘smart’ bags. This way, small packages can be sorted 24/7.

Combining thoughtful intuitive design, robotics, and intelligent software, each package can be followed exactly within the sorting centre.

We are over the moon to have PostNL as a long-term partner and look forward to implementing more innovation in the postal logistics market.

Features

Earlier this month PostNL announced the opening of a robotic parcel sorting center for small parcels.

We designed a durable, dual volume, anti-theft, cost-efficient ‘smart’ bag to work in tandem with automated, robotic, sorting arms.

Taking a user-centered design approach throughout the design process was essential. Interactions between the worker, robots, and the ‘smart’ bag produced insights and constraints that helped drive innovation and deliver a successful product.

Design cues were implemented within the cabin to give the user the feeling and understanding of being in a car, without the visual noise and clutter of unrelated features.

The contour of the steering wheel is vacuum formed into the dashboard. Giving a subtle nod to its location without overloading the user with unnecessary information.

The seats have been stripped of classic automotive styling and instead encompass an honest design. Designed so the users view point and positioning is recreated from that of traditional automotive seats
