Tekpak Automation to showcase pick-and-place robotic cell at interpack 2026

Summary

Tekpak Automation will exhibit a live pick-and-place robotic cell at interpack 2026, targeting manufacturers in food, beverage, and pharmaceutical packaging sectors. The demonstration will take place at Stand A15/Hall 16, showcasing modular automation designed to address complex packaging line integration challenges. The company brings over 25 years of experience in pharmaceutical and packaging automation.

Why It Matters

Pick-and-place robotics remain one of the highest-ROI entry points for packaging line automation, particularly in food, beverage, and pharma where throughput consistency and contamination control are critical. Tekpak's emphasis on modular architecture is significant for plant engineers evaluating automation without committing to full-line redesigns — modular cells can be integrated into existing conveyor infrastructure with reduced downtime during changeover. For manufacturers still running manual secondary packaging operations, a live demonstration at interpack provides a concrete benchmarking opportunity against cycle times, error rates, and payload configurations relevant to their own SKU mix. The pharmaceutical angle also signals compliance-ready design considerations, such as cleanroom compatibility and audit trail capability, which carry weight beyond pure throughput metrics.
