Pack Air - Scalable safety solutions for complex pallet handling systems

As pallet-handling systems grow more advanced and complex, OEMs like Pack Air are under increasing pressure to deliver safe, efficient, and scalable solutions. By partnering with Axelent, Pack Air has been able to streamline its guarding process, reduce engineering workload, and ensure reliable safety performance across a growing number of automation projects.

Growing with increased automation

Pack Air, based in Neenah, Wisconsin, designs and manufactures custom conveyor and automation solutions for leading consumer goods and industrial manufacturers. As the company expanded into full pallet-handling systems, the scale and complexity of their installations increased rapidly.

“While we are perfectly capable of creating our own guarding solutions, it’s not the best use of our resources,” said Michael Sohn, General Manager of Pack Air.

With larger systems came higher safety demands. Their previous approach of building guards in-house became time-consuming, costly, and difficult to scale. Engineering resources were tied up in non-core work and manual fabrication, slowing down production and creating unnecessary bottlenecks. Pack Air needed a smarter and more efficient way to secure their automated environments.
