Packaging Robotics Live & Local Launches Regional Event In Fall Packaging Robotics Live & Local, presented by Packag- ing World , announced the launch of a regional event se- ries this fall to help manufacturers of consumer-packaged goods solve their labor shortage problem. The event se- ries will feature industry experts sharing best practices and real-world success stories of how robotic automation tech- nologies can be used to optimize packaging operations. The series begins on September 27 in Orange County, California. “With labor scarce and unreliable, more brands, CPGs, and contract packagers are turning to packaging automa- tion and robotics. But unless you have the in-house engi- neering expertise and deep pockets of a major brand own- er, capital investment in sophisticated, often high-price-tag robotic equipment can be viewed as a barrier,” says Matt Reynolds, Editor of Packaging World . “Surprisingly or not, robotic packaging automation is a lot easier to justify than you’d expect, and demonstrable ROIs are often fast enough to make upper-level manage- ment and procurement folks take note,” Reynolds adds. “Learn from experienced packaging robotics integrators, and the major OEMs they work with, how to vault your packaging operations forward in reliability, speed, and re- peatability by making a business case that decision mak- ers can’t refuse.” At each regional event, attendees will get an inside look at the latest robotic technologies from hand-picked suppliers that have experience providing automated solu- tions for packaging operations. Through case study pre- sentations and interactive panel discussions, attendees will gain a better understanding of how robotics can be used to increase efficiency and reduce costs in their own facilities. Experts will also be on hand to discuss packaging-spe- cific robotic integration applications such as pick-and- place primary packaging, robotic cartoning and case pack- ing, end-of-line operations like palletizing, and the latest in collaborative robotic options, among other leading-edge applications. They’ll share best practices for selecting the right robotic automation solution for an operation’s specif- ic needs while ensuring both safety standards and ROIs are met. “The goal of this event series is to provide compre- hensive information that helps manufacturers make in- formed decisions when it comes to integrating robots in their packaging operations. If a good business case can be made, this event should help you make it,” says Reyn- olds. “By attending these events, they’ll get a clear picture of what’s possible with robotics technology today as well as potential future applications, all the while keeping the bottom line in sight.” Other series dates are October 3 in Chicago, October 26 in Philadelphia, and November 2 in Houston.
