Kollmorgen's Role in Packaging Automation Solutions

This case study details the collaboration between Kollmorgen and Packsize in developing the Ultra5 packaging automation system. The document outlines the challenges faced by retailers in meeting consumer demands for efficient packaging while minimizing waste and emissions. Packsize sought to innovate with its X5 system, which is the first fully automated erected box system that provides right-sized packaging on demand. The partnership with Kollmorgen was crucial for delivering over 1,000 components necessary for the commercialization of the Ultra5. The technical capabilities of Kollmorgen's 2G Motion System, including the AKM2G servo motors and AKD2G drive, are highlighted for their performance and customization benefits. The results indicate that the Ultra5 can produce up to 600 custom-sized boxes per hour, significantly enhancing operational efficiency for retailers like Walmart. The case study concludes with the positive impact of this partnership on Packsize's growth and product development opportunities.
