At Cisco Partner Summit 2026, Denali Advanced Integration was recognized as the winner of the Cisco + Splunk Powering Digital Resilience and Partnering for Purpose Energy & Sustainability awards for its innovation and creativity, technical achievement, and value.
Mislabeled packages, inefficient packing, and rework cost operations time, materials, and margin. The manual processes most packing floors still run on were never built to keep up. Pack Bench of the Future applies a vision language model and Physical AI to classify, right-size, pack, and label in real time. It is modular, so it fits the operation it’s installed in rather than requiring that operation to be rebuilt around it.
The Pack Bench runs on Cisco Splunk Edge Hub and Cisco servers with GPUs, bringing processing to the edge where packing happens. Cisco network infrastructure keeps every bench connected and visible across the operation. The design targets accuracy at speed, less material waste, fewer damaged shipments and returns, and a safer, more ergonomic process for the people running the bench.
