Foodmach will focus on applied Industry 4.0 in action on stand E065 at AUSPACK 2019, with a range of IIoT-compatible technology on display.

The manufacturer has a large suite of automation solutions for applications ranging from depalletising, conveying, filling and inspecting through to case packing, traceability, palletising, pallet wrapping and AGVs.

According to Foodmach, it can integrate all equipment on a customer’s line with a management system providing useful live data and full operational control, and its controls expertise means it is better placed to upgrade legacy equipment and implement line management execution systems across old and new machines.

At AUSPACK, Foodmach will display its Line MES, plus robotics and vision technology including its robotic bag palletiser with vision; the Robopac helix stretchwrapper; the Markem-Imaje Pallet Labeller/UR10 cobot integration plus mark and read solution; the Novus Carry autonomous mobile robot; and the Robowizard pick and place robotics programming tool.
