Gentle Closing – Better Protection for Your Articles

With our latest Orderbob update, we're introducing Gentle Closing, a new elevator feature designed to protect crushable articles during dispensing.

Not every article can withstand the same pressure. That's why we've improved how the elevator's back doors close, especially when handling delicate packaging.

🔹 Designed for specific articles: Gentle Closing is used for articles with the packaging material Film Bag and content class Crushable.
🔹 Reduced closing force: The elevator's back doors now close more gently, reducing pressure on the article inside.
🔹 Faster detection: The system detects resistance earlier during closing, helping prevent articles from being crushed or damaged.

The result? Better protection, gentler handling, and fewer damaged articles.
Another improvement that makes Orderbob's automated retail technology even smarter!
