Sitma introduces PackHub, a compact automated bagging system designed to simplify and accelerate order fulfillment operations while easily integrating into existing packing workflows.
Developed to support growing eCommerce and fulfillment environments, PackHub automates key steps of the bagging process, including bag feeding, orientation, and labeling, helping operators work more efficiently while maintaining a simple and intuitive workflow. By streamlining repetitive tasks, the system can reduce packaging time by up to 50% per order, increasing productivity without requiring a complete process overhaul.
At the core of the system is a high-capacity hopper holding up to 500 bags, enabling continuous production with a large buffer capacity and minimizing operator intervention. Bags are singulated through a precision friction feeder and automatically rotated into the optimal position for ergonomic product insertion. A vacuum cup holding station stabilizes the bag during packing, while an integrated labeling unit prints and applies labels directly to the envelope.
PackHub is designed for flexibility and easy integration. Its compact footprint makes it ideal for facilities with limited floor space, while the wheeled frame allows the unit to be easily repositioned within the production environment.
“PackHub was developed to offer a practical automation step for operations looking to increase packaging productivity without completely redesigning their workflow,” said Stefano De Marco, chief executive officer at Sitma. “By automating the most repetitive tasks while keeping operator interaction simple and intuitive, PackHub helps companies scale their fulfillment operations efficiently.”
PackHub at LogiMAT and MODEX 2026
Sitma will showcase PackHub at two major intralogistics events in 2026. The system will be on display at LogiMAT 2026, taking place 24–26 March in Stuttgart, Germany, at the Sitma stand in hall 6 C12. PackHub will also be presented to the North American market at MODEX 2026, held 13–16 April in Atlanta, Georgia, where visitors can find Sitma at stand A3127.
Offering a practical step toward packaging automation, PackHub provides an efficient balance between manual packing and fully automated systems, helping companies improve throughput, reduce operator fatigue, and enhance packaging consistency.
