Customisation of Robotics Solutions
18th March 2025
Papick, ItPick and Depax are the robotics solutions dedicated to the logistics and forwarding sector that Angelini Technologies – Fameccanica – a company of Angelini Industries, an Italian industrial group active in the health, industrial technology and FMCG sectors – is presenting during these days at ProMat 2025, the global leading event for industrial technologies for manufacturing, distribution and supply chain, which is being held until March the 20th in Chicago.
Angelini Technologies- Fameccanica, as a leading industrial technology company and end-to-end system integrator, presents three applications that embody the path the company is pursuing to design technologically advanced, scalable, modular, and integrated warehouse and logistics systems that can respond to different needs while achieving high levels of performance and efficiency.
Modular and customized solutions are developed to adapt to specific layouts and to meet different technological needs (from the simplest to the most sophisticated tasks) thanks to the use of 3D vision systems based on artificial intelligence and installed at the end of the robotic arm. They are conceived from the design stage for large-scale productions for global installations and rollout.
Specifically, Papick is an automated sorting system for the collection of parcels weighing up to 5 kg, primarily designed for the e-commerce and postal sorting sectors. Thanks to AI integrated vision systems, advanced workflow management and efficient barcode reading systems, Papick can pick and sort, with a single robotic arm, up to 1800 packages per hour with an efficiency of over 98%.
Depax, indeed, is a depalletizer, a platform capable of transferring objects or packages of different sizes from a pallet. Depax combines robotics and advanced machine vision to manage the randomness of incoming pallets and perform depalletizing with maximum precision. Depax processes up to 600 cycles per hour with dimensions of up to 60×60 cm and up to 30 kg in weight. The system is intended for all operators in the shipping industry who handle arrivals of mixed pallets with highly variable and unknown contents.
A particularly versatile solution is ItPick, an automated system capable of picking individual products and therefore adaptable to different configurations. It has a high-speed performance of up to 1600 cycles per hour and an accuracy of over 95%. It can effortlessly handle different product variants in terms of color, shape, material, weight, opacity or surface flatness.
At the fair an integrated and modular solution, ‘End of Line’, will also be present. It is placed downstream of the manufacturing plants and carries secondary packaging: it wraps products inside the boxes and palletizes them. The system consists of different modules such as box forming, box filling, box closing, palletizing island with automatic pallet management. Each module has its own intelligence and a central system that manages all modules and the movement of packages between them, including the various quality controls necessary to ensure the highest quality standards and tracking. The modularity of the system allows it to adapt to any plant layout requirement. In addition, the individual modules are enhanced by robotics and digital control that provides flexibility to change boxing patterns and palletizing matrices. The system is capable of processing up to 90 incoming products and filling up to 30 boxes per minute.
“Participating in one of the main events for the automation and robotics industry including Warehouse Logistics on a global level – explains Luigi De Vito, CEO of Angelini Technologies – Fameccanica – allows us to seize an important opportunity to share our innovative and large-scale solutions and further to strengthen our presence in the United States, where we already have facilities in Cincinnati, Ohio. It also helps us listening to the needs of a constantly evolving global market increasingly focused on issues of efficiency and sustainability.”
