Packaging with Robotics – Flexible, Precise, Space-Saving

We place a strong emphasis on the integration of robotics in packaging processes. Robotic cells take on a wide range of tasks—from high-speed pick-and-place operations to the precise handling of delicate products to the fully automated palletizing of your entire product line.

We develop robot-based packaging solutions for sorting and grouping various product variants, packaging into preconfigured units (e.g., blister packs, cartons, trays), placing and inserting products into packaging with a form-fit, and dynamic packaging for changing product dimensions. With end-of-line palletizing—including layer formation and interlayer management—just one system can sometimes serve as a complete solution for all necessary packaging processes.

Custom Packaging Technology – As Versatile as Your Product Range

Packaging protects, organizes, transports, and communicates—and it must be processed precisely. With Rotte, you get a fully customized solution featuring state-of-the-art packaging technology tailored exactly to the geometry of your products, the intended packaging units, and the packaging materials you use. From consumer goods production and the food industry to technical packaging in industrial environments, every Rotte packaging system is designed to meet our clients’ exact specifications and expectations.

Integrated control systems and smart sensors ensure smooth operation, high process reliability, and maximum adaptability to product changes or format adjustments.

Our systems automate tasks such as:

Transport, product feeding, and separation
Packaging into cartons, film, or trays
Labeling, printing, and coding
Sealing and closing
Inspecting and rejecting faulty units
Order picking, stacking, and palletizing

Smart Conveyor Technology for Seamless Packaging Lines

An efficient packaging line relies on a well-orchestrated material flow. Our conveyor and feeding systems ensure that products, packaging, and pallets are always in the right place at the right time—precisely timed and intelligently controlled.

Our conveyor technology is robust, low-maintenance, and user-friendly. We also reliably implement special requirements such as hygienic designs or ESD protection for electronic products.

Rotte offers, among other things:

Modular conveyor systems for various packaging formats
Turntables, lifting units, and buffer systems for line optimization
Weighing and counting units for production monitoring
Flexible line integration with upstream or downstream processes
