Bobst has acquired 70% of the equity of Dücker Robotics s.r.l., Momo/Italy (“Dücker Robotics”). Dücker Robotics is a global presence in the use of robots in both loading and palletizing in the corrugated board sector, while offering opportunities in the folding carton industry.
The current management team of Dücker Robotics will remain in place.
The strategic agreement, which was closed on April 28, 2023, is part of Bobst’s industry vision for the future of the packaging world, where the entire packaging production line will be connected and much more automated – from the label to the sealed package.
“In an era where converters are facing higher demands than ever due to the booming global demand and specifically in e-commerce market, while simultaneously facing challenges in shortages of manpower, automation has never been more important for our clients. Dücker Robotics s.r.l. has 20 years of proven leadership in the development of robotic systems for the most sophisticated converting machines, and we are very excited to see what we can achieve together,” states Jean-Pascal Bobst, CEO of Bobst Group.
Meanwhile, while RFID labeling has existed for some time, the industry has seen an increased demand for the technology. From battling the counterfeiting crisis to tracking products throughout the supply chain, RFID can change the landscape of functional labeling – and at a more effective price point.
In the retail industry, for example, RFID is particularly useful for improving inventory accuracy, preventing theft, and enabling retailers to track their products in real time. Healthcare organizations use RFID tags to track equipment, improve patient safety, and reduce the risk of medical errors.
“In logistics and manufacturing, RFID helps streamline supply chain processes and reduce labor costs,” states Trisha Smith, marketing and business development manager, Mark Andy. “Overall, any industry that requires efficient inventory management, asset tracking, or supply chain optimization can benefit from RFID technology.”
