Case Packing as Part of the Production Process

Case packing is more than a packaging step: it is where products are organized, grouped and placed in secondary packaging for handling, storage or shipping. Its efficiency depends on coordinating product arrival, position detection, grouping, case opening, loading and sealing. 

When this stage is properly integrated with product feeding, vision systems, case erecting, sealing and labeling, the line operates more consistently, with improved traceability and faster changeovers.

SAIEM develops automatic case packers within complete systems where robots, conveyors, grippers and case handling machines operate under shared control logic.

From Product Arrival to Case Sealing

A case packing system can include:

  • infeed and accumulation conveyors;

  • product orientation and spacing devices;

  • vision systems;

  • automatic case erecting;

  • product grouping and loading;

  • sealing with adhesive tape or glue;

  • coding, labeling and inspection;

  • connection to downstream palletizing.

Process Flexibility and Industries Served

Modern case packing lines must accommodate different stock keeping units (SKUs), shorter batches and consistent quality requirements. Choosing the right motion system, whether articulated, Cartesian, SCARA or Delta, makes a difference. Food applications often require gentle product handling and speed; ceramics, wood, bitumen and concrete applications require robust control logic, conveyor synchronization and reliable handling of rigid or heavy packages. 

In secondary packaging, the real value comes from integrating the complete process rather than optimizing each machine in isolation.

Automate Case Packing with SAIEM System Integrator

The choice of technology depends on product shape, orientation, throughput, case type and changeover frequency. These details allow us to develop an integrated case packing solution designed to communicate with upstream machines and downstream sealing equipment. 

Complete the form with your line specifications. We will assess the most suitable motion system, feeding method and gripper, together with coordination of case erecting, sealing and any palletizing operations.
