Robotic Integrators

Flexible Automation, Inc. - Robot Manufacturers & Integrators Product Image

Flexible Automation Inc. designs and delivers fully integrated robotic secondary packaging equipment including case packing, labeling, sorting, and palletizing. Packaging integration service capabilities include designing vision-inspected and vision-guided pack‑out systems tailored for high‑speed packaging applications. Flexible Automation's robotic solution inspects product in real-time via high‑speed cameras, rejects defects via air jets, and feeds coordinate data to multiple high-speed robots that group items on conveyors and place them into bulk packaging using rotary dial presentation. The system handles rapid product flow, ensures consistent quality for varying product types, and streamlines packaging through automation of inspection, grouping, and placement. Flexible Automation supports pack‑out lines with precision, efficiency, and seamless integration into existing production environments.
