After attending the Parcel+Post Expo in Amsterdam, it was made clear, once again, that automation and robotics are central to the future of logistics and e-commerce. The event, which ran until the 24th October, showcased a wide range of innovations aimed at addressing the growing challenges in these sectors, such as increasing parcel volumes and the need for faster, more sustainable operations. Companies from around the world introduced solutions leveraging artificial intelligence, machine learning, and robotics to improve sorting, handling, and warehousing processes.
Among the many notable presentations were the robotics solutions unveiled by Angelini Technologies – Fameccanica. The company introduced three standout systems—Papick, Depax, and ItPick—all designed to improve efficiency, accuracy, and sustainability in logistics operations. Alessandro Bulfon, CEO of Angelini Technologies – Fameccanica, emphasized the strategic importance of these innovations, stating, “The machines that we have chosen to present at Parcel+Post Expo are representative of the contribution that we can make to the logistics and e-commerce sector with our consolidated know-how. Thanks to their modular nature, speed, precision, and ability to integrate, they can certainly also make an important contribution in terms of efficiency and sustainability of industrial processes applied to logistics.”
Papick, a highly efficient automated sorting system, captured attention for its ability to process up to 1,800 parcels per hour with over 98% accuracy, thanks to AI-driven 3D vision and barcode reading technologies. This solution addresses the rising demand for faster and more accurate parcel sorting, particularly within e-commerce and postal sorting centers. Depax, the company’s depalletizing platform, was another key highlight. It uses advanced machine vision to manage the unpredictable nature of palletized goods, processing up to 600 packages per hour and handling weights up to 30 kg. Depax promises to significantly reduce manual labor in warehouses while increasing productivity.
Lastly, ItPick, a modular robotic picking solution, was designed to help streamline order fulfillment and warehouse operations. With its ability to adapt to different layouts and perform both simple and complex picking tasks, ItPick showcased how automation can be flexible and scalable, crucial for industries that need to meet fluctuating demand.
These systems not only enhance efficiency and precision but also represent the broader shift toward sustainable practices within logistics. By automating key tasks and integrating AI-powered systems, companies like Angelini Technologies – Fameccanica are driving greater productivity while reducing waste and energy consumption in logistics operations.
The trends seen at the Parcel+Post Expo reflect the logistics industry’s rapid evolution. As e-commerce continues to grow, businesses are turning to innovative technologies that offer both scalability and sustainability, preparing for a future where automation will play an increasingly dominant role.
