Today Cama announces its Live Fat: a digital platform part of Cama’s Generation 4.0 initiative that monitors the status of equipment while offering technical assistance, augmented and virtual reality capabilities, and digital documentation applications.
The platform is part of Cama’s remote factory acceptance testing (FAT) initiative that involves providing customers with virtual solutions to meet their machine and packaging testing needs. The Live FAT takes the place of customers coming to Cama’s factory; Cama’s engineers can test the machinery with the customer witnessing all the tests via broadcast streaming.
Thanks to its Delta Robots with artificial vision, Cama recently installed a complete system for handling flowpacked biscuits either in trays or in piles. The different formats are first loaded into a preglued carton by a high speed continuous motion cartoner, and then the products are top loaded into shipping cases. Versatility, easy change over and reliability are the key words of this Cama installation.
Monoblock loading system
The system was designed to handle multiple different product formats. Biscuits of different dimensions are delivered to the Cama Robotic loading unit on a flat conveyor. Up to 500 biscuits a minute arrive in flowpacked piles of 3 units or in flowpacked trays.
This particularly compact system has been specifically designed for a private label manufacturer to pack pillow bags of biscuits into an RSC case in a laying configuration.
Monoblock loading system
It is made up by a case erecting machine, a 2-axis robot and a lidding machine all included in a monoblock modular system. This solution integrates a product configuration loading unit with triaflex robots and a smart vision system to suit various case patterns.
This picture shows a very compact monoblock unit, incorporating forming, loading, and closing, within a footprint of only 2x3 meters, combining both flexibility and high productivity.

The products (flow-wrapped baked slices) arrive on a single lane at a speed of 400 pcs/minute, are spaced by special accelerating conveyors and, by means of a twister belt, positioned on edge into the pockets of a vertical race tracking system.
With over 35 years experience in case packing applications, Cama’s innovative solutions for RRP (Retail Ready Package) provide a wide range of successful machines developed over the years. The Cama FW and IN electronic case packers are capable of packing a variety of products into RSC cases, one-piece wrap-around or two-piece display cases for retail-ready packaging solutions.
Whether you have hard products such as biscuits, with or without chocolate, or soft cakes, grains or chips the Cama Wrap-around case packer is the best way to load them into a display box. Cama’s positive product handling guarantees the maximum care during the collation and loading process so that even fragile and shaped products are gently handled by the wrap-around machine. Highly versatile, Cama FW series enable you to form trays, 2 piece Retail Ready Packs or full wrap-around cases: all in one machine, with easy, tool-less format changes.

The impressive features of the new BTG models are the reasons why Cama has been able to make a step change in innovation in secondary packaging machinery.
“€100 million in turnover is our target for 2020, and we have already implemented an important corporate business plan to achieve this ambitious goal.” Annalisa Bellante explains.
Cama predicts a brilliant end to 2019, with a turnover of nearly €90 million, after a strong investment in human resources (+40% compared to 2017/2018). This was based on a business plan that leverages a new organisational model focused on developing a “sense of ownership” for managers, coupled to an important corporate culture evolution –a transition from the concept of ‘employee’ to that of ‘stakeholder’.
