Applications of Custom Automation in Packaging

Get in touch

The applications of customer automation in the packaging industry are extensive, covering every stage of the packaging process.

Filling and Sealing: Automated filling and sealing systems can ensure accurate, consistent, and high-speed packaging of a wide range of products, from liquids and powders to solid items. The custom automation systems can be tailored to accommodate different container sizes, shapes, and materials, ensuring a perfect fit and seal every time. The versatility of these systems allows for their application across a wide range of sectors, including food and beverage, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and more.

Labelling and Coding: Automated labelling and coding systems apply labels, barcodes, and expiration dates to products with precision and speed. The integration of advanced technologies, such as machine vision and artificial intelligence, ensures high accuracy in placement and readability, crucial for inventory management, tracking, and consumer safety. Automated labelling and coding also facilitate compliance with global regulatory standards by ensuring that all necessary product information is accurately and legibly applied.

Palletising and Depalletising: Custom palletizing and depalletizing systems stack and unstack finished products with speed, accuracy, and consistency, while reducing the risk of damage. With the use of robotic arms equipped with advanced gripper technology, the systems can swiftly adapt to different packaging types, ensuring gentle yet secure handling of products. Moreover, the integration of intelligent software enables optimised pallet loading patterns, maximising space utilisation and stability during transport.

Inspection and Quality Control: Through the use of advanced inspection technologies, such as machine vision, metal detection and AI, automated systems can perform detailed inspections of packaging for defects, and compliance with industry standards. This ensures that only products of the highest quality are delivered to the market, enhancing brand reputation and customer satisfaction.

Robotic Packaging: Custom robotic arms equipped with advanced sensors can be programmed to handle a wide range of packaging tasks, from picking and placing products to complex assembly and case packing operations, with remarkable precision and speed. The integration of robotic systems into custom automation solutions are adaptable to various product sizes, shapes, and fragility levels, making them suitable for packaging operations in industries ranging from electronics to food and beverage.

RNA Automation specialises in a diverse range of automation technologies tailored for packaging applications to help increase efficiency in these companies.
