“Partnering with MSD Sales allows us to demonstrate how integrated solutions can create smarter, more efficient packaging solutions for customers,” says Greg Berguig, president of PAC Machinery.

The integrated system aims to combine intelligent robotics, flexible feeding, and automated bagging to help manufacturers improve productivity, reduce manual handling, and streamline the packaging of kits and small components.

The automated kitting and bagging solution features:

Rollbag R1275 Automatic Bagger & Rollbag Brand Bags

The R1275 auto bagger is designed for high-speed production, reportedly operating at up to 60 bags per minute, with a compact tabletop footprint and the flexibility to integrate with robotics, counters, scales, and other automated feeding devices. It will be integrated with MSD’s KitAmatic system to package O-ring and/or other parts into kits using Pac Machinery’s Rollbag bags—white front/clear back pre-opened bags on a roll. According to the supplier, the bags that will be used provide a professional presentation while allowing the packaged product to remain visible on one side. 

KitAmatic All-in-One-Kit Packaging System

The KitAmatic system can feed nearly any part to any robot simultaneously, providing flexibility for changing production requirements, Pac Machinery says. The system is designed for applications including kit building, part sorting, assembly, and inspection.

“Our goal is to make automation accessible and effective. Partnering with PAC Machinery allows us to combine precision robotics with proven packaging technology in one seamless production system,” says Mike Dahl, president of MSD Sales.

Together, the integrated system strives to deliver accurate part identification, precise quantity control, simultaneous handling of multiple components, and automatic bagging—helping manufacturers automate labor-intensive kitting and packaging processes while improving consistency and throughput, the company adds.
