Introducing VI-6™ The Next-Generation Virtual Drop Test Simulation Tool

Traditional physical drop testing vs. VI-6™ simulated drop testing

In 2023, SES/Force-4, a division of Stress Engineering Services, Inc., unveiled a groundbreaking advancement in the packaging sector: VI-6™. This state-of-the-art drop test modeling and simulation tool is a flagship software-as-a-service (SaaS) offering support to consumer-packaged goods companies and the Amazon Packaging Support and Supplier Network (APASS). VI-6™ provides a streamlined, intuitive platform, empowering packaging professionals to test the effectiveness of ecommerce-designed packaging virtually. Packaging professionals like you will benefit from rapid, high-fidelity simulations that visualize the outcome of 17 drops on your proposed product packaging, including primary and secondary case configurations. Thanks to AWS's high-performance computing, VI-6™ allows you to accurately forecast packaging efficiency, adhering to ISTA® 6 Amazon Ships in Own Container (SIOC), Overbox, and ASTM standards across various sectors, including consumer goods and life sciences.

Key Features:

  • Digital Package Performance Visualization: Digitally test your packaging candidates with in-silico ecommerce analysis.
