The Skill Boss Logistics is a working automated distribution system that performs operations, such as package tracking, automatic package queuing and priority release, electro-pneumatic sorting, and more. In addition to industrial-relevant training, the Skill Boss Logistics is the required assessment device for three of MSSC’s Certified Technician – Supply Chain Automation (CT-SCA) certifications: Equipment Maintenance (CTSCA-EM), Equipment Repair (CTSCA-ER), and Network Repair (CTSCA-NR). Individuals who earn all three certifications receive a full “Automation Master” recognition award.

Skill Boss Logistics was developed to teach and assess hands-on 100 skills required by today’s technicians in supply chain automation, including equipment maintenance and equipment repair. The bench-sized automated sortation system showcases the distribution of packages to three destinations and includes an easy-to-use, hands-on training manual. The compact design allows the system to fit easily in any classroom or training facility. It's transportable for use in multiple locations.
