SSI Schaefer & Hanes Australasia
a year on the floor of a live distribution centre
From a timelapse install to a customer testimonial, a maintenance story, and a digital twin
This one started small. SSI Schaefer needed a timelapse of a new pouch sortation system being installed at Hanes Australasia's distribution centre in Truganina, Melbourne. The kind of job that's usually in and out, camera up, camera down.
It didn't stay small. Over the following twelve months, that single install grew into a full customer success campaign. A testimonial video with Hanes Australasia's General Manager of Logistics and Operations Manager. A separate maintenance and service video with SSI Schaefer's on-site technician. A full still photography set, internal and external drone coverage, and a 3D scan of the pouch sorter that became a working digital twin for SSI Schaefer's sales and marketing team.
The facility itself doesn't stop for anyone. It's a high volume operation moving Bonds apparel through overhead conveying and sortation systems around the clock. Every interview, every walkthrough, every drone flight had to work around a live, 24/7 business, not the other way round. Safety inductions, scheduling around peak periods, staying out of the way of people doing their actual jobs. That discipline is what makes footage like this usable rather than just impressive.
