The storage component is configured to store settings relating to the packaging or the box packing of the products. The display component is configured to display adjustment-requiring parts that requires adjustment in the product processing apparatus when changing the settings.

A method for operating a robotic system includes determining a discretized object model representative of a target object; determining a discretized platform model representative of a task location; determining height measures based on real-time sensor data representative of the task location; and dynamically deriving a placement location based on (1) overlapping the discretized object model and the discretized platform model for stacking objects at the task location and (2) calculating a placement score associated with the overlapping based on the height measures.

A method is, inter alia, disclosed, which comprises the following: obtaining and/or holding available production parameter information of a packaging system, wherein the production parameter information for one or a plurality of predefined production parameters of the packaging system in each case represents a course recorded for a predefined previous time period; determining at least for each of the predefined production parameters a respective course expected for a predefined future time period at least partially based on the production parameter information; displaying or causing to display a production parameter course view as part of a graphic user surface, wherein a first section of the production parameter course view graphically represents the courses of the predefined production parameters recorded for the predefined previous time period and wherein a second section of the production parameter course view following the first section graphically represents the courses of the predefined production parameters expected for the predefined future time period.

A packaging system for high flexibility and speed box-last packaging comprises one or more dimensional scanning sensors that are configured to scan a group of one or more target products that are to be boxed and gather dimension information describing physical dimensions of the group of one or more target products. The system also comprises one or more packaging-production machines that are configured to generate custom-made packaging templates that conform to a pre-determined set of packaging template types. Additionally, the system comprises a packaging template buffer that comprises physically divided sections that contain multiple packaging templates selected from the pre-determined set of packaging template types that are generated by the one or more packaging-production machines. Each of the packaging templates are organized within the physically divided section based upon packaging template type.

Disclosed is a coil packaging system. The system comprises a first robot arm having a grappling portion adapted to grip a wrapping material, a second robot arm having a grappling portion adapted to grip the wrapping material, and a coil rotating means adapted to carry and rotate a coil about a coil axis. The first robot arm is movable along a first horizontal axis (A1) which, in an operating position, coincides with the coil axis, while the second robot arm is movable along a second horizontal axis (A2), the second horizontal axis (A2) being parallel to the first horizontal axis (A1), and along a third horizontal axis (A3), the third horizontal axis (A3) being perpendicular to the second horizontal axis (A2).

A method is, inter alia, disclosed, which comprises the following: providing a graphic user surface for monitoring and/or controlling a packaging system, wherein the graphic user surface comprises a production parameter course view for displaying one or a plurality of predefined production parameters of the packaging system, wherein the production parameter course view for each of the predefined production parameters graphically represents at least one course of the respective production parameter in a previous time period and the respective current production parameter value, wherein the graphic user surface further comprises at least one alternative view that can be activated and wherein the production parameter course view and the alternative view are configured such that the alternative view is displayed when the alternative view is activated in such a way that the alternative view only partially covers the production parameter course view and a first section of the production parameter course view is displayed with the graphic representations of the current production parameter values of the predefined production parameters.

A packaging unit includes at least two of a bagging unit, a pallet loading device, and a pallet securing device. The bagging unit, the pallet loading device, and the pallet securing device are connected to each other via at least one data transmission device.

Packaging plant data exchange comprising at least one buffer for packaging plant status data comprising status values, at least one data input interface, the data input interface communicating with at least one program module adapted to a packaging device of the packaging plant and receiving at least packaging plant status data, at least one data storage interface, the data storage interface communicating with at least one database module adapted to a database.

Packaging plant data exchange comprising at least one intermediate store for packaging plant status data comprising status values, at least one data input interface, the data input interface communicating with at least one program module adapted to a packaging device of the packaging plant, characterized in that the program module creates a machine data object comprising at least metadata of the packaging device via a data input interface.
