Closing out 2023, labor shortage may be the #1 “theme” for the packaging industry. Imagine it’s 2033 and we’ve solved the problem. We asked Southie Automation to share their perspectives on robots, cobots and why we believe the solution is here today!
Two years ago, Brian Wagner met Southie at a Contract Packaging Association event – and had to question whether their technology was real or maybe too good to be true. Advanced robots that can be quickly taught to do what humans do on a packaging line, leveraging AI, vision systems and mechatronics – and at a similar hourly rate. Also they can be easily moved from line to line and task to task, quickly reprogrammed and working long shifts, without breaks, never taking sick days. Imagine the possibilities.
