Signode is demonstrating integrated end-of-line and warehouse automation solutions at PACK EXPO International 2026 (Booth S-3100). The exhibit connects case handling, collaborative robotic palletizing, strapping, stretch wrapping, and autonomous material handling. A live demonstration includes the Octopus Prestige automatic stretch wrapper integrated with TP-12 strapping machines, plus an AMR forklift showing coordinated pallet movement that reduces manual touchpoints between production, staging, and storage.
Visitors can explore how AMRs integrate with Signode’s StorFast Automated Storage and Retrieval System (ASRS) to raise storage density, improve inventory control, and link upstream packaging processes with downstream warehouse operations. Additional elements include a Simplimatic collaborative robotic palletizer working with Little David random case openers/sealers and intelligent conveyors. The company emphasizes configuring individual technologies as part of a broader workflow to improve consistency, throughput, reliability, and long-term performance.
This approach addresses manufacturer needs for seamless material flow from packaging through storage and distribution, reducing handoffs and supporting higher overall operational efficiency. It illustrates the growing role of AMRs as extensions of end-of-line systems for finished-pallet transport and the value of connecting packaging automation with high-density ASRS solutions.
