Using the conveyor surface as reference, the sensor can reliably detect multipacks of bottles or cans, whether they’re wrapped in clear, metallic, or printed film.

Crooks liberated the package of trackers from a carrier’s pick-up box, unaware that the contents of the box were showing investigators the location of the package — and thieves — in real time.

Artificial intelligence is making its way into edge devices, resulting in artificial intelligence in the internet of things.

Manufactured with Arburg’s freeformer system, the PBT-based sensor can now be used in applications such as robotic grippers.

Replacing visual color assessments and physical printed packaging samples with digital color management reduces materials waste, shipping, and travel — which can significantly cut your carbon footprint.

Packaging operations have benefitted from robotics, improvements in vision technology, and motion control. In some cases, adding artificial intelligence (AI) as another layer could exponentially boost flexibility and profitability.

Tyson Ventures has helped fund Soft Robotics, demonstrating confidence in a next-generation artificial intelligence (AI) solution for automated food packing.

Wipotec-OCS offers a new flexible solution for pharmaceutical packaging.
