Customisation of Robotics Solutions

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.”

Parcel+Post Expo 2024: Advanced Robotics Solutions Unveiled

After attending the Parcel+Post Expo in Amsterdam, it was made clear, once again, that automation and robotics are central to the future of logistics and e-commerce. The event, which ran until the 24th October, showcased a wide range of innovations aimed at addressing the growing challenges in these sectors, such as increasing parcel volumes and the need for faster, more sustainable operations. Companies from around the world introduced solutions leveraging artificial intelligence, machine learning, and robotics to improve sorting, handling, and warehousing processes.

Among the many notable presentations were the robotics solutions unveiled by Angelini TechnologiesFameccanica. The company introduced three standout systems—Papick, Depax, and ItPick—all designed to improve efficiency, accuracy, and sustainability in logistics operations. Alessandro Bulfon, CEO of Angelini Technologies – Fameccanica, emphasized the strategic importance of these innovations, stating, “The machines that we have chosen to present at Parcel+Post Expo are representative of the contribution that we can make to the logistics and e-commerce sector with our consolidated know-how. Thanks to their modular nature, speed, precision, and ability to integrate, they can certainly also make an important contribution in terms of efficiency and sustainability of industrial processes applied to logistics.”

new automation and robotics

Papick, a highly efficient automated sorting system, captured attention for its ability to process up to 1,800 parcels per hour with over 98% accuracy, thanks to AI-driven 3D vision and barcode reading technologies. This solution addresses the rising demand for faster and more accurate parcel sorting, particularly within e-commerce and postal sorting centers. Depax, the company’s depalletizing platform, was another key highlight. It uses advanced machine vision to manage the unpredictable nature of palletized goods, processing up to 600 packages per hour and handling weights up to 30 kg. Depax promises to significantly reduce manual labor in warehouses while increasing productivity.

Lastly, ItPick, a modular robotic picking solution, was designed to help streamline order fulfillment and warehouse operations. With its ability to adapt to different layouts and perform both simple and complex picking tasks, ItPick showcased how automation can be flexible and scalable, crucial for industries that need to meet fluctuating demand.

These systems not only enhance efficiency and precision but also represent the broader shift toward sustainable practices within logistics. By automating key tasks and integrating AI-powered systems, companies like Angelini Technologies – Fameccanica are driving greater productivity while reducing waste and energy consumption in logistics operations.

The trends seen at the Parcel+Post Expo reflect the logistics industry’s rapid evolution. As e-commerce continues to grow, businesses are turning to innovative technologies that offer both scalability and sustainability, preparing for a future where automation will play an increasingly dominant role.
