Cama Group showed its latest automated packaging equipment innovations at drinktec, the world’s leading trade fair for beverage and liquid food industry.

With its more than 1000 exhibitors from 55 countries and over 50,000 previewed international visitors, Cama saw drinktec as the most important world economic summit for beverage industry, and an opportunity deepen its relationship with the beverage industry and to explore robotic solutions for the sector. 

Cama showed how its cobots can enhance packaging systems in terms of performance and flexibility, while remaining extremely compact in terms of use and layout.

They can be fully integrated in Cama units for loading the box blanks onto two different box magazines, making the technology leaner for line operators to use.

Cama says these cobots are part of a broader Cama project called MEP (Machine Enhancement Program), in which ACL (Automatic Carton Loading) helps minimise human effort and maximise productivity.

End Food Waste Australia CEO, Tristan Butt, has stepped down after less than a year in the role, to pursue other professional opportunities. The Board has appointed current director policy, communications & strategic engagement, Wendy Hughes, as acting CEO.
