Vention expands end-of-line packaging automation in EMEA
Vention has launched its third-generation Rapid Series Palletizer in Europe, expanding its end-of-line packaging automation range across EMEA, with deployment speeds 3–5 times faster than traditional methods. The system integrates collaborative robots from Universal Robots, modular conveyors, and AI-driven controls, targeting high-mix production environments and offering payback periods as short as 1.3 years.
Vention, a full-stack automation platform, has introduced its third-generation Rapid Series Palletizer in Europe, extending its end-of-line packaging automation capabilities across the EMEA region. The system, previously launched in North America, combines case packing, conveying, and palletizing into a single environment, reducing deployment time to as little as four weeks for installation and 12 weeks for full system delivery. This represents a 3–5 times faster deployment compared to conventional automation methods. The Rapid Series Palletizer leverages Vention’s modular hardware system and MachineMotion AI, featuring plug-and-play controls, O-Ring and Poly-V conveyors, and motors designed in-house. The system supports coordinated product movement, zero-pressure accumulation, and rapid line changes, making it ideal for manufacturers with high-mix and variable production needs. It can automate tasks previously handled by up to ten full-time operators per shift. At interpack 2026, Vention will showcase the system alongside Universal Robots, part of Teradyne Robotics, demonstrating a complete packaging line. The display includes a robotic case packing cell powered by a UR10e, modular conveyors for product transfer, and a palletizing system using a UR20. The integration highlights seamless workflow from case packing to palletizing, with built-in LTE connectivity via MachineMotion AI for remote monitoring and support. The platform offers Remote Support, RemoteView, and MachineAnalytics tools for live performance tracking and faster fault resolution. Vention claims its approach delivers payback periods as short as 1.3 years and up to 25% lower capital costs than traditional automation. Andrea Alboni, Vention EMEA general manager, noted that manufacturers face pressure to modernize packaging operations quickly while maintaining flexibility, and the system addresses these challenges by simplifying automation deployment.
