New C AMA ACL System: Automatic Car ton Loading
BOOTH #100
Pack aging is a highly automated sec tor, with high-speed processes and solutions that constantly challenge the technological state of the ar t
However, for all the advances in automation, there are still a few operations, such as magazine loading, reel loading, semi-finished product loading and quality inspec tion that are still under taken manually, but present issues relating to ergonomics, safety and repeatability
ACL – CAMA Focus on Automatic Car ton Loading
One such operation that can prove challenging for operators is the loading of car ton blank magazines on pack aging machines
Car ton blanks are of ten produced by paper mills hundreds of k ilometers away, transpor ted on trucks, unloaded by fork lift drivers and stored in the warehouse for weeks or months at a time These continual logistical operations often result in pallets

Flora Code Debuts New Flavors And Formula
Flora Code, the wor ld ’s first ac tivated probiotic, unveils three delicious new flavors and a fresh new look – featuring the same patented ac tivation technology, now with enhanced solubilit y for even better absor ption Founded by Katherine Levy, Flora Code continues to set a new standard in gut health with its once - daily, ac tivated powder designed to suppor t a balanced microbiome and effor tlessly integrate into any wellness routine.
Flora Code is the produc t of decades of exper tise, developed by a pioneering scientific team and suppor ted by a lab that is over 100 years old Levy originally set out to tack le a major pain point in modern probiotics: most Bacillus strains remain in a state of dormanc y and are so stable that almost none of them are able to ac tivate inside the gut.
Flora Code uses carefully selec ted Bacillus spores that are naturally fermented to sur vive harsh stomach acid, ensur ing they reach the gut intac t While this protec tive process keeps the spores stable, it also keeps them dormant. Unlike other brands that focus on high CFU counts, Flora Code includes 100 million high- qualit y CFUs and uses patented ac tivation technology to “wake up” the bac teria once they ar r ive in the small intestine This targeted ac tivation reawakens 95% of the spores r ight where they ’re needed, allowing them to become active, live bacteria and deliver meaningful gut health benefits.
Featured in vibrant, sustainable packaging, the brand now offers Vanilla Honey, a per fec t complement to your
daily coffee, tea or smoothie; Peach Elder flower, which delivers a refreshing burst of flavor with light floral notes; and the best-selling Unflavored, offering endless versatilit y in yogur t, oatmeal, baked goods or your beverage of choice Each flavor is vegan, GMO -free and offered in a monthly supply of indi-
tines in mind, and the commitment remains the same: to make health effor tless, effec tive and enjoyable for ever yone ”
vidual daily packets for $48, and a Trio Box of all three flavors retails for $130
“At Flora Code, we’re proud to bridge the gap between beauty and wellness –star ting from the inside out,” said K ather ine Lev y, Founder of Flora Code. “ The brand was born from a lightbulb moment: the realization that, by har nessing breakthrough ac tivation technology, we could create a clean, science -backed probiotic that truly elevates daily well-being and suppor ts the gut-brain axis that influences overall vitalit y. I n a crowded supplement space, Flora Code is proud to offer a solution that ’s proven, tested and trustwor thy – deliver ing real, tangible benefits The brand has created our formulas with our customers’ wellness rou-

D r. Norm’s L aunching Matcha C rispy Rice Bar In California
Dr Nor m’s, a Califor nia-based, siblingowned and operated cannabis company, announced the launch of its new cannabis-infused M atcha Cr ispy R ice Bar. This first- of-its-k ind, limited- edition edible by Dr Norm’s is fully plant-powered, containing 100mg THC, 50mg
with misaligned produc ts, excessive folding or car ton blanks that exhibit different consistencies and moisture content depending on the season
And this unpredic tability pairs poorly with the “r igid ” concepts behind automation, as machines of ten lack human charac ter istics such as deterministic vision, discretion in selec tion and flexibility in pick ing
CAMA Enhancement in Robotics and Smar t Vision
Collaborative robots can replace the ar m of an operator, with even greater strength, reach and agilit y, while gr ippers equipped with distance, torque sensors and customized gr ipping systems can mimic an operator ’s hand And these can then be complemented with vision systems, based on 2D/3D or AI-

Stein, Founder and Chief Executive O fficer of Purely Elizabeth “ We created this line to make it easier than ever to get 10 grams of protein, fiber and super food grains into your morning – without sacrificing taste.

Featur ing ceremonial- grade matcha made in Japan, each crispy rice bar includes 10 individual ser vings (10mg THC and 5mg THC V per ser ving) and
based technologies, to represent an operator ’s view.
As a result, with these integrated robotics and vision systems, manual tasks can be automated, not only taking repetitive, time -consuming, burdensome and low value -added tasks away from operators, but also increasing productivity
Automatic Car ton Loading seems to be the solution. Comprising a collaborative robot, equipped with specialized interchangeable product-specific gripping tools, smar t cameras and advanced programming, the ACL solution automatically recognizes the pallet pattern, its orientation, the car tons stacks and removable interlayer sheets I t can then grip and load car ton blanks into a machine’s magazine automatically. I t can also handle closed boxes and can be augmented with multiple smar t-tools and functions, including straps removal, case lid tear- off and automatic size
