Mitsubishi Electric Automation Inc. plans to demonstrate new and existing systems for consumer packaged goods and life sciences customers and OEMs at PACK EXPO 2024 next week in Chicago.
This year, Mitsubishi Electric said it will show its latest engineered robotic cell. The Automated Robotic Industrial Assistant, or ARIA, is suitable for applications such as primary, secondary, and end-of-line packing, as well as palletizing and product labeling, it said.
Automation experts will be at Booth 4916 in McCormick Place to talk with customers about their specific applications and how ARIA can improve processes.
Debuting at IMTS 2024, Mitsubishi’s RV-12CRL will also be on display to showcase its flexibility, payload capacity, and safety features.
Mitsubishi Electric Automation to show more packaging systems
The company will also provide two other demonstrations. One will feature Mitsubishi’s Factory Automation wall, displaying its design, startup, operation, optimization, and visualization systems for packaging and food and beverage industries alike.
The other will be from ICONICS Inc., a group company of Mitsubishi, that illustrates how its automation software can enhance operational efficiency, product quality, and regulatory compliance for consumer packaged goods (CPG) to ultimately increase customer satisfaction.
On Day 3, Nov. 5, Patrick Varley will present a session “Portable Automation Addresses Labor and Production Issues.” The product marketing manager for mechatronics will describe the benefits of portable, pre-engineered robotic systems. He will also present case studies to show how these solutions meet customer requirements in a tough labor market.
“Our team is looking forward to sharing our solution for streamlining customers’ packaging lines at PACK EXPO this year,” said Charlie Well, industry solution manager at Mitsubishi Electric Automation. “Whether you are looking for an automation solution for case packing, pick and place, palletizing, or something unique, our experts work with you to find a solution to boost your efficiency.”
