SPILAMBERTO, Italy, March 12, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- 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 e-commerce 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."
