The PUSH System was designed to deal with small packages measuring less than 10 cm in height. These are conveyed through the system and cut open by a fixed blade.
The boxes are aligned on the conveyer and cut open horizontally by side-mounted blades. Further cuts can be achieved by rotating the packages and running them back through the system. Using this system, lightweight cardboard boxes can be cut with millimeter precision at a specified height.
Implementation

Household: cooking spoons, baby pacifiers, playing cards, etc.
Medical: shipping of tissue samples
Industrial: screws, nuts, bolts, etc.
Cost Savings
The cost-savings when compared to a manual laborer are around 80%.
