Procurement Day is an event that aims to broaden the knowledge of Procurement professionals on current issues, tools and trends, as well as to interconnect and generate networking among professionals.

Automation of Piece Picking in warehouses - why it's so hard?AI-powered vision software integrated into PLC automation Return on investment: How to enable cost-efficient and easy-to-use systems

By 2030 all packaging must be 100% recyclable and contain a minimum recycling rate. Recycling percentages are included both in the draft waste law and in the draft royal decree on packaging, which sets important recycling content targets ranging from 15% to 60%, depending on the type of product. Is there enough recycled material? is it possible to meet these objectives? What challenges do we have to overcome to achieve them?

UR+ is not only the cobot industry´s largest ecosystem, it helps you to automate quickly and easily. Susanne explains in her keynote how you can be part of that success. Level up your palletizing operations and increase your capacity and throughput with UR+ certified products. Or bring your own UR+ product to market that helps others to simplify their packaging automation.

To what extent is your packaging circular? The current linear economy model is based on depleting natural resources as if they were unlimited, but the circular economy is the alternative. Find out how the Circular Design Metrics works. A tool to clearly assess the performance of the circularity and identify your packaging’s potential for improvement.

What is the present and future of collaborative robotics in packaging? What solutions will be taken further? Where should we start automating?  

Ecodesign, recyclability, reintroduction of post-consumer material and personalisation are some of the challenges that will mark the future of packaging, in a context of uncertainty derived from important legislative changes and an unprecedented global crisis of raw materials, transport and energy.

Francisco Manuel Muriel will speak about sustainability applied to processes and products. This presentation will highlight the various challenges facing the sector today when implementing sustainability mandates. He will explain how the sector is transforming. He will also highlight the important role played by R&D&I in the packaging transformation process. He will conclude by talking about SP GROUP's latest sustainability launches.

Precision is essential when it comes to improving the processes that form part of the agri-food value chain and collaborative robotics is playing its part in this.

It will be focusing on the three most significant aspects regarding the European Next Generation Funds: Snapshot of the end of 2021, forecast for 2022, and current events. How to seize the opportunity and what does the packaging sector need to consider in order to tap into the funds? More immediate potential and readying for the end of 2022, in addition to the financing options we offer to UR products and what we can include in this financing.

How International safety standards have been key in helping industrial robot system integrators to meet the safety requirements for machinery, not only in the past and present, but also in the foreseeable future. Safe us of machinery is not only about safe machines. Whether you are a machine manufacturer or you use machines to manufacture, even more with collaborative robots, you don´t want to miss this keynote.

Packaging is playing a decisive role at the height of an industrial transformation based on digitisation and sustainability. Both the OEMs and the TIERs of the different sections of the value and supply chain must have specialised packaging to guarantee factors such as efficiency, safety, quality and environmental commitment.

Different solutions that integrate the most innovative machine vision and collaborative robotics to ensure quality and automate processes in the packaging sector will be showcased.

Integration of weightlessness into collaborative handling with cobots

Hispack has carried out this quantification survey and sectoral analysis which is presented as a unique instrument in Spain, in which the contribution of the packaging sector as a driver of the country’s industrial, economic and social development is manifest.

The study quantifies, categorises and analyses the economic facts and figures of the more than 3,000 companies linked to the main manufacturing segments of the sector, which make possible the key role of packaging in the various industries in which it is applied.

The study concludes with a look into the future and the main lines of development on which the players in the sector as a whole are working. If the pandemic brought about a productive paradigm shift that highlighted the importance of industrial relocation and short supply chains, the current context is no less important.

Collaborative robotics brings improved care to hospitals and rehabilitation clinics and assists healthcare professionals with safety, data and treatment efficiency. People lie at the centre of our innovation, as we treat their pain safely and effectively, and the scientific evidence makes ADAMO a device that’s unique in the world.

At the Spanish SME we’ve always had the desire to integrate end-of-line robotics in partnership with the production team. The advent of collaborative robots has led to a major revolution, given that, with affordable investment in robots, support and tooling, we can include this technology that assists operators in tasks such as palletising, in such a way that the people can focus on quality control.

The impact of simple programming on industrial development

The Universal Robots ecosystem continues to grow with an increasingly robust network of distribution partners, integrators, machine manufacturers and accessory developers on the UR+ platform. This coming together of specialised companies is benefiting the end customer when it comes to integrating customised solutions based on collaborative robotics and broad expertise.

In times of VUCA/BANI/TUNA, the company must not only not falter, it must not succumb, its spirit must rise in the face of difficulties, and this cannot be done with a false motivation of petty motivation, but with the strength that comes from being empowered, self-confident and with the drive of resilience in its purest form. Are you coming?

The characteristics of the cosmetic industry and the benefits of using collaborative robots for palletizing applications.

Presentation of in-feeder solutions based on PMZ technology and collaborative robotics.

We’ll discover the main functionalities and features of the Robotiq palletising solution.

Reflections on the use of robots as components of industrial machines, experiences in bread manufacturing processes.

One of the companies with the most experience in collaborative palletising systems (Neobotik) will be showing the introduction of flexible palletising solutions for their client PERSAN, a benchmark in the cosmetics industry.

We’ll describe the resources that Universal Robots makes available to schools to provide an educational experience with optimal results.
