APSOL Automation Packaging Solutions specializes in the design and manufacture of end of line packaging machinery for beverage as well as food, home and personal care products. APSOL’s design philosophy stresses 3 critical elements: simple and reliable mechanics, compact and ergonomic design, and cutting edge control technology.

“APSOL’s new robotic palletizer exemplifies this engineering discipline,” stated Roberto Pezzini, responsible for the company’s robot projects and programming. “Using ELAU’s advanced robotic software library, this design replaces a ‘black box’ robot controller, motion controller and PLC with a single, integrated, open architecture PacDrive controller. The robotic functionality therefore resides in a small, low maintenance, modular machine capable of quick format changes.”
