Signode will highlight the latest Automation Solutions at ProMatDX
Signode, a global manufacturer of a broad spectrum of end of line packaging equipment, tools, and consumables, will showcase its complete range of automation solutions at ProMatDX 2021 April 12-16.
Signode has scheduled daily product and technology demos and its team of automation professionals will be available online to share insights, answer questions, and interact with the show’s virtual attendees, allowing easy access to specifiers of all industries looking to maximize productivity and enhance efficiency.
“Signode’s complete end-of-line warehouse automation offerings address and solve our customers’ challenges and requirements, including increased throughput, improved response time, lower operating and labor costs, and optimized safety,” said Mike Stein, Vice President of Marketing and Product Management, Automation and Packaging Technologies Platform, Signode.
Among the wide spectrum of automation capabilities included in the virtual demonstrations at ProMatDX 2021, Signode will present StorFast®, its automated storage and retrieval (ASRS) system (Thursday, April 15, 10:45-11 a.m. CDT).
The StorFast ASRS system provides high-density, lights-out, 24/7-access to all products in the warehouse. The shuttle/cart system allows multiple orders to be processed simultaneously and can flex between high-volume input and peak shipping schedules to optimize the utilization and efficiency of the system at all times. The StorFast ASRS system is an increasingly specified solution for both existing and new facilities in the rapidly growing warehouse and distribution space. Its space-saving shuttle/cart system is particularly sought after for urban-based facilities with limited horizontal footprints.
“We are seeing intense interest among current and prospective customers as they are rethinking their entire approach,” said Stein. “We know that automation demands increase as companies rebound and reassess their operations following economic downturns and that is certainly the case right now.”

Octopus stretch wrappers offer unlimited numbers of wrapping patterns, stabilizing loads for transport so goods make it through the supply chain undamaged. Octopus machines allow for numerous innovative options (corner post device, integrated top sheet dispenser, load stabilizer, and automatic film reel change) to help solve specific stretch packaging challenges.
Versatile, 5-sided Product Protection for Effective Load Containment
Wednesday, April 14
1-1:15 p.m. (CDT)
Whether looking for increased load stability, reduced packaging material, minimal waste, or an improved packaging solution, Signode stretch hooders offer the perfect mix between function and cost. The Multi FleX1 hooder protects products from the elements and stabilizes them for transport. The machine has a variety of film patterns, including fully closed hoods, film sleeves, short hoods, and film reinforcement capabilities. Stretch hood is ideal for cubed loads, irregular loads with protrusions, varying product shapes, and more importantly, for single-layer loads.
