About the WrapidShield 360
The WrapidShield 360 was intended to wrap and seal inflatable bubble material on a variety of sized products by encasing them in a cocoon of bubble. The cocoon could accommodate various sized products. The WrapidShield 360 was targeting the E-Commerce industry to reinvent the way packages were shipped. The goal was to eliminate the need of a box to protect packages. The WrapidShield 360 scans shipping labels and transfers information into a queue. That information is applied to a new shipping label and is placed on the outer surface of the bubble package. The cocoon then sealed on the leading and trailing edges by a cool cut hot knife cross seal. The bar-code is then scanned by a discharge scanner that verifies that the correct label has been applied to the package.
My Involvement:
I was on this project from the conceptual phase and carried the WrapidShield 360 through each design and production phase.
​
My role on the project was to design the functionality of the following function/features:
-
Designed prototypes and tested various methods to control and form the bubble cocoon.
-
Designed frame, festoon system, web handling layout.
-
Utilized SolidWorks to generate sheet metal, machined, and welded components.
-
Generated assemblies and weldment drawings using ANSI standard drafting.
-
Derived new components from existing known technologies within Sealed Air products.
