The packaging industry is facing new challenges. Schneider Electric is presenting solutions at interpack 2026 designed to increase the efficiency and flexibility of packaging machines through AI and robotics.
The packaging industry is increasingly facing challenges caused by stricter regulations, a wide variety of products, and a shortage of skilled workers. Machine and plant manufacturers, as well as consumer goods producers, therefore need to find more efficient and flexible solutions to remain competitive. Schneider Electric addresses these requirements with a comprehensive portfolio of solutions, which will be presented at interpack.
AI-powered software as the core element
A key component of the presentation is the EcoStruxure Machine Expert platform, which aims to significantly reduce engineering effort through AI-powered code generation and digital twins. These software solutions enable faster development cycles and a shorter time-to-market, which is crucial for companies.
Cybersecurity and sustainability in focus
Schneider Electric also places value on cybersecurity and sustainability. The solutions are bundled within a digital ecosystem that also includes modernisation services. These services are intended to make operational processes future-proof and resilient.
Integrated motion and robotics solutions
Integrated motion and robotics systems continue to be a focus, increasing the precision and efficiency of modern packaging lines. The Modicon M660 motion controller and the Lexium MC12 multi-carrier system are examples of technologies that ensure maximum flexibility and a reduced footprint.
Live Demo Highlight
A special highlight is the live demonstration of a dosing system from Fricke Filling Technology. This shows the interaction of all presented technologies, from motion control and software to edge hardware, in practice. The system enables highly precise dosing and modular designs that are suitable for a wide range of applications.
