Intelligrated Prepares Pack Expo Showcase

More than 45,000 attendees from over 130 countries will descend upon McCormick Place in Chicago from 6-9 November for Pack Expo International 2016. Intelligrated will highlight its full system integration capabilities and showcase the newly enhanced Alvey 891i palletizer, vertical conveyor, robotic depalletizing and roller conveyor solutions at Booth S-3666.

The in-booth demonstration features the updated 891i palletizer and a robotic depalletizing cell, integrated with vertical reciprocating conveyor and motor driven roller (MDR) conveyor. The solutions on display are ideal for food, beverage and consumer packaged goods operations that have reduced or eliminated secondary packaging, requiring equipment to handle display cases, poly-wrapped bundles, paper-board overwrap packs with high resolution graphics and more.

“Today’s operations face real challenges, from housing a wider variety of inventory and working in limited space, to demanding targets for throughput and uptime,” said Matt Wicks, vice president, product development, manufacturing systems.

“This climate requires solutions designed to deliver efficiency and handle complexity, while offering the simplicity of single-source integration, easy-to-use interfaces, maximum reliability and efficient layouts. Pack Expo provides a valuable opportunity for attendees to see solutions firsthand and get expert input from material handling experts.”
