Pacline Conveyors to Showcase Robotic Empty Carton Handling System at ProMat 2025

Pacline Conveyors is set to make a big impact at ProMat 2025, the premier trade show for the supply chain sector. At Booth #S1471, Pacline will unveil its cutting-edge robotic empty carton loading system, designed to enhance order fulfillment efficiency in warehouses and distribution centers. This innovative automation solution integrates Pacline's PAC-LINEâ„¢ enclosed track conveyor with a robot, demonstrating a seamless process for loading empty cartons onto an overhead monorail system. With applications in e-commerce, retail replenishment, and more, this technology optimizes productivity while reducing labor reliance.

Pacline Conveyors is proud to announce its participation in the highly anticipated ProMat 2025 trade show, taking place March 17-20 in Chicago, IL. At Booth #S1471, Pacline will demonstrate its innovative robotic empty carton loading solution designed to transform order fulfillment processes in distribution centers and warehouses.


The system will seamlessly integrate Pacline's PAC-LINEâ„¢ enclosed track conveyor, a Motoman robot equipped with a specialized end effector to expertly load empty cartons onto an overhead monorail conveyor from a Motor Drive Live Roller (MDR) conveyor to replicate a real-world order fulfillment solution. This demonstration highlights Pacline's capability to provide a fully automated solution that optimizes the delivery of empty cartons to operators, achieving consistently high rates, while reducing labor dependency.

Pacline's conveyor systems are essential for streamlining delivery of e-commerce cartons, retail replenishment cartons, or donor totes, in order fulfillment environments such as:

Person-to-Goods: using Pick Modules with Pick to Light, Pick to Voice, or RF technology.
Goods-to-Person: using Unit Sorters, Zone Routing systems (or Pick-and-Pass), Cubic Automated Storage and Retrieval (cASRS) or Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMRs).
The comprehensive showcase underscores Pacline's expertise in integrating robotics, conveyor systems, and other technologies to address the evolving demands of a wide range of industries such as consumer goods, apparel, shoes, electronics, packaged food, and bath products. In addition to the robotic loading system, Pacline offers a broader suite of automation solutions designed to meet the specific needs of distributors, integrators, and end-users.

"Automation is the future of material handling, and we are excited to showcase our solutions at ProMat 2025," says Karl Scholz, President of Pacline Conveyors. "This robotic carton handling system is a prime example of our commitment to innovation and excellence in meeting the needs of modern distribution centers."
