BRIXX® is a new, modular, click-and-play solution based on an intuitive software to reduce the manual operations and allow quick transformations for co-packing lines. Based on advanced, mobile conveyors and robots to automate manual repetitive packing and co-packing processes.
This unique design by FlexLink is a solution to automate currently manual packing operations through a flexible system adapting to the variability of products, packs, cartons, or trays. It is scalable according to production capacity needs, affordable and easy-to-use.
It is controlled by an intuitive software for line design and operations, as well as fleet management allowing to manage seasonal peak productions.
The flexible combination of BRIXX® modules enables a wide range of operations with the same hardware and software. Production companies or co-packers can automate product transformations such as pick-and-place, mixing, labeling, re-labeling, palletizing or de-palletizing for increased productivity and efficiency. More product transformations such as case forming, tray forming, and carton closing are optionally available.

Challenges for packing operations

Today, customers want more unique and personalized products, which leads to a greater variety of products needing to be made and delivered in various formats. This creates growing challenges for manufacturers, brand owners, and service providers involved in packaging, co-packing, storage, and transportation, especially during busy seasons.

Furthermore, the lack of resources and rising costs require new solutions to automate processes, free up employees, and boost efficiency.

BRIXX^® Applications

The versatile BRIXX^® modules can perform a wide range of tasks using the same hardware and software. Production companies or co-packers can automate various product-related processes, such as picking and placing items, mixing, labeling, re-labeling, stacking on pallets, or removing from pallets, to enhance productivity and efficiency.

Additional processes, like forming cases, creating trays, and closing cartons, are also available as options.
