Excelis Automation

Kraken Automation, an Excelis Company, engineers robotic pick-and-place case packing systems as part of fully integrated end-of-line lines. Its documented top-load configuration uses robotic pick-and-place to group and place bottles, cartons, bags, jars, tubs, and clamshells into corrugated cases, with recipe-driven changeovers suited to operations running multiple pack patterns or SKUs. Kraken works as an integrator rather than a single-machine supplier: it pairs its packers with third-party case erectors and sealers, and coordinates upstream infeed, orientation, and accumulation along with downstream checkweighing, coding, reject, and palletizing so the packer runs in sync with the rest of the line.

Kraken Automation, an Excelis Packaging Automation Company, designs and integrates automatic case packing systems for end-of-line secondary packaging. Rather than treating the case packer as a standalone machine, Kraken engineers each system around the product, pack pattern, production rate, case format, and available footprint. Loading methods include top loading, drop loading, and robotic pick-and-place, handling bottles, cartons, bags, jars, tubs, and clamshells. Kraken integrates third-party case erectors and sealers into a coordinated system and can tie case packing into upstream infeed, orientation, and accumulation, as well as downstream checkweighing, coding, reject, and palletizing. The result is higher throughput, less manual handling, and more consistent case loading across the line.
