The demand for ever more powerful machines and increasing regulatory requirements, such as the Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR), are fundamentally changing the rules in the packaging industry. OEMs are under growing pressure to design packaging that is as small, material-efficient, and sustainable as possible – while maximising space utilisation and flexibility.

What appears to be purely a packaging issue has far-reaching implications for mechanical engineering: such profound changes in packaging require new machine designs. This presents an opportunity to make machines even more compact, flexible, and energy-efficient while ensuring the highest level of precision.

High-performance packaging machines

As a specialist in drive and automation technology, Lenze offers application-specific motion control solutions for the packaging machines of tomorrow. At Interpack 2026, Lenze will show how the combination of in-depth application expertise and powerful servo and drive technology enables precise, energy-efficient, and cost-effective solutions for every machine architecture – from sensorless control to drive solutions for the highest cycle rates.

Open interfaces, integrated safety, and end-to-end engineering also shorten development times, increase system availability, and ensure the flexibility that modern packaging machines demand.

Cost and energy efficiency

With its IE5/IE6 drive system, Lenze offers a decentralised solution with servo-like performance. In combination with the Lenze i650 motec frequency inverter, the Motor Drive System achieves IE5/IE6 energy efficiency classes and supports machine optimisation through sensorless positioning and integrated regenerative capability – helping OEMs process sustainable packaging materials more effectively.

Visitors will also experience how machine architecture can be adapted flexibly and how high dynamics, precise motion, and reduced hardware effort can be optimally combined for modern packaging machines with demanding motion profiles.

Inline robotics without cycle interruptions

Another highlight at the booth is a delta robot demonstrating highly precise pick-and-place processes on two rotating tables – without having to stop them. Through rotary tracking, products are picked up and placed synchronously, eliminating unnecessary cycle times and maximising efficiency.

This is made possible by Lenze’s “Feasible Application Software Toolbox.” Known as “Lenze FAST,” this modular software toolkit enables machines to be implemented faster, in a more structured way, and with significantly less programming effort. The Lenze FAST Robotics Template used in the delta robot significantly reduces engineering effort by parameterising robotics instead of programming them. Users benefit from short cycle times, increased line performance, and a scalable system solution that ensures the highest level of process reliability.

Easily realise modular packaging machines

A real eye-catcher at the booth is the Lenze Jonglator: The high-performance motion control system demonstrates how powerful servo inverters handle complex motion requirements while remaining more compact than purely mechanical motion solutions. Thanks to Lenze’s open architecture, modular machines can be planned and implemented much more easily.

Consistent functions and interfaces across controllers, HMIs, and I/Os enable seamless integration. This means motion, logic, and HMI functions are executed reliably and in parallel, even at high cycle rates and with increasing machine complexity.

Mpac tray former live at the booth

Under the motto “Motion enabled by Lenze,” Lenze demonstrates on a machine from customer Mpac how machine solution expertise creates real added value: the high-performance tray former processes up to 200 trays per minute and is therefore ideally designed for demanding production environments.

A rotary infeed concept replaces conventional pusher systems and ensures stable, continuous operation at high speeds. Reliable synchronisation and Lenze’s dynamic drive technology ensure this performance over the long term. As a result, Mpac’s tray erector is an ideal example of sophisticated packaging solutions and demonstrates how the complete Lenze portfolio delivers high speeds, precision, and consistent drive performance in demanding packaging processes.

Another advantage of the system is that it replaces conventional plastic trays with environmentally friendly cardboard containers. This supports the industry’s transition toward more sustainable, plastic-free packaging solutions.

As the saying goes, if you’re not moving forwards – you’re going backwards. And in a world of increasing global competition, unpredictable costs, and mounting pressure on labour and sustainability, the UK’s manufacturing sector can no longer afford to delay the adoption of robotics and automation. That’s the message from Mike Wilson, one of the UK’s leading authorities on automation, who brings over four decades of experience into his role at the MTC.

At Packaging Innovations & Empack 2026, taking place 11-12 of February at NEC Birmingham, Mike will lead the Automation in Action session. The panel will spotlight how robotics, AI and connected systems are revolutionising packaging operations. But for all the promise, he says, the UK still lags far behind its international peers.

“The truth is, not much has changed in the last 12 months in terms of actual robot adoption numbers,” Mike says. “But what is changing is the mindset. For the first time in decades, the government is signalling that manufacturing matters again.”

Culture, confidence, and the fear of complexity

The UK’s historical hesitance to automate isn’t purely down to cost, Mike argues. It’s rooted in a deeper cultural mindset: a “make do and mend” philosophy that undervalues capital investment. SMEs, which make up the vast majority of UK manufacturers, are often cautious and risk averse.

“Many businesses still have this outdated perception that robots are only for big automotive plants,” says Mike. “They think it’s too expensive, too complicated, or not suitable for what they do. But the reality is the opposite – systems are more affordable and easier to use than ever before.”

That fear is often compounded by gaps in practical knowledge. “Most SME business leaders have never been taught how to buy automation. They don’t know how to write a specification, assess suppliers, or build a business case,” he explains. “We don’t teach that in apprenticeships or business school, and if you’re unfamiliar with the tech and the salesperson across the table knows far more than you do, it’s understandable why people hesitate.”

The solution, he believes, lies in independent, trusted support – organisations like the MTC who aren’t selling systems but offering impartial guidance, helping businesses start small, upskill gradually, and grow their confidence.

The people problem: Demographics and attraction

Another ticking clock is the workforce. “The average age in UK manufacturing is now over 50,” says Mike. “In 10 years, many of those people will have retired. And the next generation doesn’t want to do the same jobs their parents did – not unless there’s exciting and engaging tech involved.”

It’s easy to see this demographic shift as a threat, but savvy businesses also recognise it as an opportunity. “Younger people are digital natives. They’ve grown up with tech and they expect to use it at work. If we want to attract them into manufacturing, we have to build the kind of workplaces they want to be part of – automated, digital, connected,” says Mike.

Automation, when done right, doesn’t replace jobs, it redefines them. From factory line programming to process monitoring, a new category of roles is emerging that blends operational oversight with digital skills. This also opens the door to a more diverse workforce.

“Historically, engineering has been male dominated. But the skillsets needed in future – analytical thinking, digital fluency, system control – are completely gender neutral. There’s no reason women shouldn’t be leading this shift too.”

Don’t automate the bottleneck

When companies finally decide to automate, Mike has a word of warning: start smart. “One of the major mistakes we see businesses make is trying to automate the hardest job first; the biggest bottleneck. But there’s a learning curve. If it’s your biggest headache now, chances are it’ll be your biggest headache in automation too.”

Instead, he advises starting with simple, repetitive tasks that free up skilled people to focus on more valuable work. Palletising, line loading, transferring – these are ideal starting points. “A robot might not be faster than a person, but it’s consistent. It doesn’t stop for lunch or lose focus at 3pm. That stability is where the gains come from.”

AI, embedded intelligence, and what’s next

AI is already making its way into automation systems. Not in the form of humanoid robots, but as embedded intelligence that improves robot performance, simplifies programming, and enables predictive maintenance. “AI’s already here. It just doesn’t wear a badge,” Mike says. “And while some of the hype – especially around humanoids – will settle down, AI will absolutely continue to play a growing role in packaging and manufacturing.”

By enhancing flexibility, improving diagnostics, and lowering the barrier to entry, AI will make automation more accessible to more businesses – but that also means strategy is critical.

“Think about your end goal. Where do you want to be in five or ten years? Build your automation roadmap around that, including the training and investment you’ll need. Don’t bolt it on as an afterthought.”

Packaging’s productivity challenge

For the packaging industry, the opportunity is especially clear. Fast-moving, high-volume, and labour-intensive by nature, packaging operations are ideal candidates for automation. And yet, the sector still faces the same barriers: skills gaps, investment fears, and cultural resistance.

“If we haven’t started to change by 2030, we’re in trouble,” Mike says. “Productivity is the route to competitiveness – it lets you pay better wages, attract talent, and justify investment. Automation is the lever that unlocks all of that.”

Mike will be chairing ‘Automation in Action: Robotics as the engine for packaging agility’ at Packaging Innovations & Empack 2026, 11-12 February at NEC Birmingham. Bringing together key voices sharing insight and perspective on today’s hottest packaging and manufacturing topics, it’s set to be an unmissable edition of the show.

As of this month, PACE is incorporating artificial intelligence and free performance monitoring into the HMI on all of its machines.

The artificial intelligence within the ‘Gateway’ monitors various wearing components within PACE’s robots, stitchers, weighers and palletisers and issues an alert by text or email if a loss of performance is detected, signalling that maintenance might be required.

“For many years, we have offered remote access as an optional feature to our customers, but now with advances in technology, we have decided to include the Gateway feature as standard,” says Nick Cesare, director of PACE Mechanical Handling. “Unlike some other companies involved in end-of-line automation, we are offering Gateway functionality completely free of charge to people buying brand new lines from us for the duration of their ownership of the system.”

PACE’s automated end-of-line packing and palletising solutions are particularly popular in the fresh produce industry, with the company completing more than 100 installations on farms, packhouses and processing factories.

Established in 1996, PACE uses four core products to develop reliable, efficient, and cost-effective automated packaging and palletising solutions: the Gemini twin-head weigher, Orion Weigher, Orion Weigher and sack placer, and the CBC sack placer and stitcher line.

You’ll be able to see how OMRON’s customised automation solutions improve production speed and precision, while accommodating various bottle sizes and shapes.
