Watch Our Bag Handling Robots in Action
Bag handling redefines your standards of operational efficiency and innovation.
Robotic bag handling will drive your end of line with a variety of benefits that elevate productivity, reduce operational costs, and enhance flexibility and precision in handling tasks.
Robotic Bag Handling is utilized by Food & Beverage, Consumer Goods, Medical, and Building and Construction industries to find more overall efficiency in both their manufacturing and distribution facilities.
Using robotics can:
- Save your employees from repetitive heavy lifting
- Improve product quality through inline checks and consistent handling
- Increase efficiency and productivity with consistent 24/7 operation
- Reduce the occurrence of unstable pallets through consistent stacking patterns
- Open up more flexibility and scalability in your process with systems that can handle a variety of sizes and weights

Customer Testimonial
The reason I prefer to work with MCRI is because of their technical knowledge and customer service. Their entire team takes pride in the work and is dedicated to providing a system or solution the customer wants. I believe part of the reason their systems run so well in our plant is because of the amount of time dedicated to design and development. I have also been impressed with the flexibility and support when timelines or scope-of-work change during projects. One of my favorite things about MCRI is that it feels like working with a friend instead of another vendor.
