Packaging Automation for Every Stage
We design automation solutions for all levels of packaging, tailored to operational requirements:
Primary Packaging
Automates initial product feeding and packaging to reduce manual interaction and improve precision. Solutions include vibratory feeders, hoppers, and robotic systems to handle products before packaging them into containers.
Secondary Packaging
Streamlines processes for protecting products during transit or improving presentation for retailers. Automated solutions ensure consistency in wrapping, bundling, and labeling while optimizing space and efficiency.
Tertiary Packaging
Incorporates robotic palletizing and wrapping systems for bulk packaging, reducing manual handling and enabling faster, safer, and more reliable operations. Systems are reconfigurable for changing product specifications.
Industry-Specific Applications
BlueBay Automation designs systems that address industry-specific challenges, including:
- Life Sciences: Sterile handling of medical devices and precision packaging for components such as syringes and surgical tools.
- Food and Beverage: Hygienic handling and traceability for raw, cooked, or frozen goods.
- Industrial Manufacturing: High-speed packaging for heavy or irregularly shaped items.
