HERNDON, VA — Pack Expo International, held in Chicago from Oct. 23-26, has released The Future of Automation in Packaging and Processing, a report produced by show organizer PMMI.
The report highlights how labor shortages are driving companies that produce consumer packaged goods (CPGs) to enhance and maximize production, storage and distribute processes with automated solutions. Solutions include guided vehicles, industrial robots, collaborative robots and mobile robots, with some of this technology supported by artificial intelligence (AI) and advanced vision tools.
