The system was launched on Wednesday at one of Europe’s largest forums for innovative packaging solutions, the Competence Center Packaging in Langenberg, alongside Packsize’s PackNet production and optimisation software platform.

PackBot is the latest addition to On Demand Packaging, the company’s portfolio of custom box-making machines and smart packaging systems.

Packsize chief scientist Niklas Pettersson said: “The PackBot is a valuable contribution to global trends such as smart manufacturing and warehousing. Rising consumer demand for sustainably-packaged products is driving the industry’s focus towards optimising this area.

“At the same time, production managers and distribution centres in the labour market find it increasingly difficult to find suitable personnel. Packsize has always focused on sustainability and automation in the packaging process. The patented automatic case erecting by the PackBot features a revolutionary innovation of On Demand Packaging systems.”
