See connected packaging automation in action on-site at Harpak-ULMA.
Step beyond the Automation Fair show floor and experience modern packaging technology firsthand at the Harpak-ULMA Customer Experience Center. Explore live equipment, connected technologies and practical strategies designed to help manufacturers improve visibility, performance and operational efficiency.
See what’s possible when packaging and automation come together.
Join Harpak-ULMA for an exclusive Automation Fair Off-site Tour built around real-world packaging challenges and solutions. You’ll meet directly with packaging and automation experts, explore our Customer Experience Center and see how connected technologies are changing the way manufacturers operate, maintain and optimize packaging lines.
From DataReady™ machine design and FactoryTalk® Optix™ to digital work instructions, production intelligence and centralized controls, you’ll see how the pieces of a connected packaging operation work together.
What You’ll Experience
Get closer to the technology.
During the two-hour Harpak-ULMA experience, attendees will:
- See packaging equipment in action with live demonstrations spanning sealing, thermoforming and weighing applications.
- Explore connected automation and technologies designed to improve visibility, troubleshooting and machine performance.
- Go hands-on with the equipment through machine training led by Harpak-ULMA technical experts.
- Meet the experts behind controls, training, system integration and packaging technology.
- Explore what’s next in packaging through interactive stations covering machine-building best practices, emerging technologies and strategies for greater operational efficiency.
The Rockwell Automation Fair takes place November 16–19, 2026. The Harpak-ULMA experience blocks five hours on the attendee’s schedule, including the two-hour tour, lunch at Harpak-ULMA, transportation and travel buffer.
Flexibility for your packaging line means...
Adapting to changing trends
The world of packaging moves fast. Trends like sustainable packaging, increased snacking, and clean label products all require shifts in your packaging strategy. Adapt to these changes and go to market quicker with flexible machines that can produce several sizes and packaging formats with a variety of films.
Reducing production downtime
We know time is valuable on the production floor. That's why decreasing downtime with simpler changeovers on machines, advanced training using augmented reality, and excellent customer service are a priority for us. Less downtime means more flexibility to scale your production.
Remaining user friendly
Flexibility doesn't just apply to your machinery and run times. It applies to your operators, too. Simplifying your machine design with streamlined training solutions helps your team develop skills faster and reduce error. That's why Harpak-ULMA offers Allen Bradley controls on a growing number of machines and provides advanced online training solutions.
Weighing, Portioning & Loading
Harpak-ULMA multihead weighers combine cutting-edge technology with user-friendly features to deliver unparalleled efficiency in weighing applications across the food and medical industries. Engineered for performance and precision, our food weighing systems support a near-limitless variety of products in the food, medical, and non-food sectors. With our flexible and reliable solutions, you can achieve accurate portioning, reduce waste, and streamline your production.
Discover how Harpak-ULMA’s loading, portioning, and weighing equipment can revolutionize your operations with better accuracy, faster speeds, and minimal product waste.
Product to Pallet Automation
We provide primary and secondary packaging automation equipment as well as advancements in robotic automation that are paving the way to new levels of scalability and cost containment for producers of every size and industry. Robotics can now handle depalletizing, de-casing, infeed handling, raw food handling, primary packaging, secondary packaging, mixing (combo packs), and palletizing. Tertiary automation, palletizing, and tote/basket management systems are options we can help with as well.
Speed to market, standardization, cost, and reusability are all concerns when deciding whether to use automation and how much of your line to automate. Harpak-ULMA helps with every aspect of your production, from start to finish.
At the show, you’ll see robotics and case packing.
Thermoforming Solutions
Thermoforming solutions are truly flexible and great for all types of food applications.
Your packaging can adapt to changing markets and trends with various package formats and sizes available on the same machine, including vacuum, MAP (modified atmosphere packaging), and skin. You also have the option of running flexible and/or semi-rigid films.
Our thermoforming solutions also help you reduce downtime with simple tool-free, single-person changeovers that take 10 minutes or less.
Allen Bradley controls are available on our standard and skin thermoformers. They come standard on our TFS 500 through TFS 700 models. These controls may be more familiar to trained technicians and ensure more readily available parts.
Flow Wrapping Solutions
Our flow wrap solutions have broad applications and plenty of built-in flexibility, giving you the ability to quickly adapt to different product sizes and package with or without a carrier tray.
Flow wrappers are also dual-purpose machines, which can be designed to run several different film types like polypropylene, laminate, and polyolefin shrink. Flexible machine components also allow you to change your seal rollers, cross seal jaws, and folding boxes to create the ideal package to meet your end customer’s needs.
These machines also help you reduce downtime with simple tool-free changeovers that take 5 to 10 minutes or less and can be completed by a single person.
Vertical Bagging Solutions
Our family of vertical machines has been devised with our customers’ needs in mind. Designed for continuous motion packing for a wide variety of products, these machines are highly flexible when changing the forming size to allow for different portion and bag sizes. Our VFFS equipment offers uncompromising versatility and consistent performance when vertically packaging liquids, pastes, powders, granulated foods, frozen foods (IQF), snacks, vegetables, and many other particulate products and adapts to almost any film type.
Tray Sealing and Forming Solutions
Tray sealing and forming solutions are flexible and allow you to accommodate different tray geometries on the same line and rapidly introduce new tray geometries with in-house tray forming.
These machines can be designed to produce various packaging applications on one machine, including MAP (modified atmosphere packaging), pre-cut lid, Heatseal, Stretch Seal, Darfresh® on tray, protruding, super protruding, skin, SLIMFRESH®, and ZERO®.
Downtime is reduced with simple, single-tool changeovers that take only 10 minutes. The machines also have an open design for easy assembly changes in a matter of minutes, and offer quicker sanitization with sanitary design conveyors (which is ideal if your production involves switching between certain allergens).
Allen Bradley controls are available on all of our G. Mondini tray sealers – providing familiarity to trained technicians and more readily available parts.
