Pack Robotics is a New Zealand-registered company that specialises in the manufacture of robotic solutions for industrial use. The company has been operating for 20 years and is a strong participant in the industry. Recently, however, some customers have expressed concerns about the consistency of quality of their products, and Pack Robotics recognises that improvement is needed in this area.
One of Pack Robotics’ key products is a robotic stretch wrapper that automatically wraps goods placed on wooden platforms at the end of the production line in a highly elastic protective film, ready for shipping.
