The latest product handling equipment, cartoners, case erectors and packers, loaders and palletizers, features maximum flexibility in terms of product handling and packaging styles, which is good news for bakery and snack producers.
ABB Robotics has launched the third generation of PickMaster, its robotic software for vision-guided random flow picking and packing applications for the digital Factory of the Future.
New robotics technology is helping to improve primary and secondary packaging applications in snack food and wholesale bakery operations. Areas of innovation include end-of-arm tooling (EOAT), robot learning, sanitation and space optimization.
To meet rising demand for fast delivery, snack and bakery warehouse operations have little room for error. Thus, many look to technological advances, including automation, to minimize the risk of unexpected delays, and to find new ways to streamline inventory management.
In order to be able to use the heat-sealing film even more flexibly when packaging in flowpacks, Schubert has developed a new heat-sealing robot for its Flowmodul.
Product-handling equipment, mincluding cartoners and case erectors, packers and loaders, are more automated and more flexible than ever, offering quick changeovers between package formats.
