RND Automation Unveils Exciting Innovations at PACK EXPO International 2026

RND Automation is set to showcase a groundbreaking array of packaging solutions at the upcoming PACK EXPO International 2026, taking place from October 18 to 21 at McCormick Place in Chicago. Located at Booth N-5115, RND aims to highlight its significant advancements in packaging equipment and automation capabilities, attracting industry professionals eager to explore new technologies.

Showcasing Live Pouching with KANGA

At the heart of RND's exhibition will be the live demonstration of the KANGA Poucher, which promises to draw significant attention from attendees. This vertical pouching system will not only package multitools on-site but will also provide visitors with a firsthand experience of its efficiency and reliability. The demonstration will embody RND's core philosophy of starting with proven, adaptable equipment while catering to varying product specifications and packaging needs. The packaging material used during the presentation will be supplied by the renowned company Amcor.

Comprehensive Packaging Equipment Portfolio

Beyond the KANGA Poucher, RND Automation's product offerings encompass a wide range of packaging solutions, including various bagging and pouching options, horizontal flexible packaging, tray packaging, and sealing technology. Their specialized QuickPouch system, which features vertical and horizontal variants, will be on display, showcasing RND's commitment to innovation. The company also provides comprehensive support services, including technical assistance, training, and genuine replacement parts to ensure customer satisfaction and equipment longevity.

Moreover, RND’s exhibit will feature the SureVac leak-testing system, a crucial innovation designed to enhance package quality by detecting gross leaks in a variety of sealed packages, including blister packs and medical device packaging.

Unique Testing With RND’s High-Risk Test Bench

Another highlight of RND's booth will be the High-Risk Test Bench, which serves as a configurable research and development platform. This state-of-the-art system enables RND engineers to conduct rigorous testing for challenging automation tasks before they are integrated into the wider production environment, ensuring reliability and efficacy. By simulating real-world conditions, the Test Bench allows RND to assess variables such as robotics, gripping, motion, and machine safety. This proactive approach facilitates informed decision-making, reducing risk while enhancing operational efficiency.

RND will also showcase technology from partners including Doosan Robotics and FANUC in the Test Bench, demonstrating how their capabilities extend beyond simple packaging machines.

Advanced Robotics on Display

In addition to the packaging equipment, a large FANUC M-710 industrial robot will be featured, providing attendees a glimpse into practical robotics applications in automated systems. This display not only emphasizes RND's expertise in robotic integration but also illustrates how these technologies enhance overall production and efficiency.

As Brantley Turner, General Manager of RND Automation, states, "Manufacturers don't always require a custom-designed machine. They need equipment that aligns with their specific product and process requirements. By starting with proven platforms and leveraging our extensive automation experience, we aim to provide tailored solutions that meet individual production needs."
