Pineberry Manufacturing Inc. to Introduce Rotary Pick and Place System at PACK EXPO Las Vegas

by | Aug 30, 2023 | Press Release

New to the Pineberry line of packaging products, the Rotary Pick and Place System handles various hard to feed products by picking and placing them from one location to another with pinpoint accuracy and high speeds.

Toronto, ON, June 29, 2017 – Pineberry Manufacturing Inc. will be exhibiting PACK EXPO Las Vegas with the Rotary Pick and Place System.  The pick and place solution engineered by Pineberry Manufacturing Inc. can be customized to fit specific production requirements.  Moving large, small, or hard-to-handle products is an easy and efficient task to automate in factory lines.  The Rotary Pick and Place System picks and places products consistently, accurately, efficiently and quickly for an increase in output and production, offering long-term savings.

“New to Pineberry Manufacturing Inc., we’re excited to debut our four suction cup arm Rotary Pick and Place System in Las Vegas at PACK EXPO 2017,” states David McCharles, President of Pineberry Manufacturing Inc.  “The Rotary Pick and Place System automates the feeding of various sizes and hard-to-feed products into packaging and fulfillment lines, increasing order fulfillment and production rates,” continues Mr. McCharles.  “Manual pick and place requires repetitive motion over long durations resulting in ergonomic issues.  Automated high-speed pick and place robots increase efficiency, decreasing production costs and ergonomic issues.  The Rotary Pick and Place adds one more solution to our product line making Pineberry Manufacturing the go to solution provider for your feeding needs,” concludes Mr. McCharles.

The Rotary Pick and Place System manufactured by Pineberry Manufacturing Inc. is designed for high speed picking and placing of products using robotic suction cup arms.  Products enter the Rotary Pick and Place System through being loaded or picked from a hopper.  Using a custom end of arm tool, the products are picked and placed by the robot at the desired location.  The Rotary Pick and Place System provides extremely high-speed output, increasing productivity and reducing costs.  The Rotary Pick and Place System can place, collate, affix, or batch count flat products and 3-dimentional stackable items; ideal for multiple products or operation lines with limited space constraints.

Packaging Strategies: Tell us what you do and the areas Pineberry excels in?

McCharles: Pineberry Manufacturing has been manufacturing robust automation equipment for the packaging, pharmaceutical, printing, e-Commerce, distribution, food and beverage, plastic card, graphic arts, and mailing and fulfillment industries since 1984. We specialize in simple, durable, cost efficient and innovative automation solutions, which include friction feeders, tray denesters, packaging, serialization and custom automation systems/packaging machinery.

PS: What don’t most people realize about your company?

McCharles: Most people do not realize that Pineberry Manufacturing has been around for more than 30 years providing packaging machinery for many industries world-wide. We ship our products globally from Canada and the U.S. to Brazil, Europe, Dubai and Australia.

PS: Are there any new automation solutions you’re releasing within the next 12 months?

McCharles: We recently released our Rotary Pick and Place System at PACK EXPO this year. The Rotary Pick and Place System is designed for high speed picking and placing of products using robotic suction cup arms. Products enter the Rotary Pick and Place System through being loaded or picked from a hopper. Using a custom end of arm tool, the products are picked and placed by the robot at the desired location. The Rotary Pick and Place System provides high-speed output, increasing productivity and reducing costs, and is ideal for multiple products or operation lines with limited space constraints.

We’re also releasing the CartonTrac Serialization and Aggregation System to go with our Serialization and Track & Trace pharmaceutical packaging product line. In partnership with Adents Pharma Suite, the Pineberry CartonTrac Serialization and Aggregation System has a very small footprint to automatically combine individual serialized cartons and takes a picture of all the fixed and variable serialized track and trace data.  Using robotics to band and case batches together, the system prints and applies a label to the band/case with a serial number.  As the cartons are combined, the serial number of the aggregated unit (parent) is associated with the multiple serial numbers of the individual cartons (child) contained within it, thus builds a parent-child relationship as products move through the packaging stages of the supply chain.
