Video: Michael Portillo interviews Pacepacker's Dennis Allison

Portillo took a tour of the large stand that Pacepacker shared with Fanuc to display seven automation systems including articulated arm, Cartesian and delta (parallel kinematics) robots completing a variety of packing and palletising tasks. In the interview, Portillo and Allison discuss a typical packaging application and the increasing adoption of automation in the food industry; they also look at several of the demonstration systems, including Pacepacker's bulk bagging and sack placing equipment for high-speed packing of aggregates, agricultural, chemical and food products into bags and nets.

It is clear from the interview that Pacepacker works hard to understand its customers' true requirements, which enables it to provide a complete automation system, not just a single machine or robot.
