At FoodTech 2021 we presented a series of new technologies for packaging and supply chain automation. Specifically, we presented: Labeling systems that incorporate sophisticated ways of applying even the most "difficult" labels Our new IN-LINE checkweiging weighing and dimensioning systems, a product of our recognition as an OEM by Garvens Automatic pallet handling systems with cobots End-of-line automation systems (boxing, palletizing, stretch film, coding) that incorporate Industry 4.0, MES, OEE, IoT, etc. technologies. The successful equipment rental programs (THEODOROU LEASING SERVICES) and withdrawal of old equipment (TRADE-IN)

In this article we present the current developments in the two central technologies of the new industrial revolution: the industrial robotics and the new industrial automation . We also give some suggestions on how any industrial enterprise, large or small and medium, could develop a workable strategy for integrating new technologies into its production process.

The company INTERCOMM FOODS was founded in 1990 and is one of the largest export companies in Greece. It is active in the field of processing and packaging of table olives and fruits of private label on request. It has processing factories in the area of Larissa and Arta.

Theodorou Group completed the creation of a new construction department for the development of advanced industrial weighing systems, dynamic weight controllers (checkweighers) and automatic titration on the production line. This new activity of the Theodorou Group was carried out with the transfer of know-how from Mettler-Toledo and Garvens, with which the group already has a long-term and successful cooperation. Based on this collaboration, Theodorou Group can use in its constructions the modules of Garvens (checkweighers), Mettler-Toledo (digital power cells - loadcells) and Gargoscan (titration).

TSATSOS GEORIOS "COSMETIC" company, which is active in the production of private labeled cosmetics and in the development of new products from the idea stage to the final product and its mass production, was looking for a comprehensive and flexible automation solution at the primary packaging stage, in terms of labeling products and their dynamic coding, in order to meet the growing demands of its customers. In particular, due to the production activity of private label products, the company sought to strengthen its competitiveness in such a way that it is able to undertake and carry out flexibly and at the lowest possible cost, high-demand partnerships with many different packaging formats which cannot be predetermined.

Product packaging is a central priority of every industrial enterprise. And this is because in this phase the product is prepared to travel in the supply chain and to be appropriately presented to the final consumer.
