Industrial automation applications
Packaging Automation
Sage integrates robotic product handling with packaging equipment, conveyors and end-of-line operations to create a controlled path from production to shipment.
Packaging automation connected to the production process
Packaging equipment performs best when products arrive at the correct spacing, orientation and rate. Sage engineers the handling and controls around those requirements, including accumulation, inspection, packing, palletizing and finished-load transfer.
Applications can involve rigid containers, cases, bags, pails, drums or nonstandard industrial products. Tooling and motion are developed around packaging strength, product variation and the quality requirements of the finished load.
Application data to define
- Product and package strength
- Required orientation and grouping
- Packaging equipment rate
- Changeover and SKU range
- Inspection and reject handling
- Downstream pallet or shipping requirements
What the system can include
Product presentation
Orient, meter and group products for case packing, wrapping, labeling or other packaging equipment.
Robotic packing
Use application-specific tooling to load products into cases, trays, racks or shipping containers.
Palletizing integration
Coordinate packaging output with pallet handling, load building, wrapping and discharge.
Frequently asked questions
Can Sage integrate existing packaging equipment?
Yes. Sage reviews mechanical access, controls signals, production rate and product presentation to define the required robot and conveyor interfaces.
Does packaging automation include palletizing?
It can. Sage can integrate product handling, packing and palletizing as one end-of-line system when the application requires it.
