Picking & Packaging System Automation

Speed and consistency are key to successful consumer packaged goods product production. Both of these metrics have everything to do with how difficult it is to find and retain a quality workforce that can keep up with the increasing production speeds that automated food processing machines can achieve. Automated picking and packaging systems are becoming more popular in various industries, such as food and beverage, pharmaceuticals and logistics. These systems perform tasks such as picking items from shelves, sorting them into boxes, labeling them, and sealing them for delivery. They can also handle a wide range of products and orders, from small to large, simple to complex and standard to customized. These systems offer many benefits for businesses and customers alike. 

Until now, robotic systems weren’t the best choice for filling these needs due to food product bag packaging’s inconsistent shapes and orientation. That all changes with Midwest Engineered System’s blend of best-in-class robotic dynamic vision systems and high-speed, pick-place robotics. Now, these systems can nearly flawlessly package between 120-160 packages per minute.

Automated packaging offers flexibility to pack or de-case a variety of products and packaging formats. Midwest Engineered Systems has extensive experience in tooling and conveying for product handling and high-speed case control.
