Vertibox by Agibi Progetti, the intelligent automatic container changeover system
End-of-line automation plays an increasingly important role in improving production efficiency, reducing manual intervention, and increasing machine autonomy. In this context, Vertibox, the programmable vertical container changeover system developed by Agibi Progetti, provides a reliable and flexible solution for automated container management in industrial environments.
Designed to adapt to a wide range of production requirements, Vertibox automates container changeovers with precision and consistency, optimizing material flow and ensuring continuous operation.
A flexible system for every production requirement
Vertibox can be configured to perform container changeovers according to different operating parameters. The system can be activated based on elapsed time, the number of parts produced, a load cell that measures the weight of the deposited material and estimates the corresponding part count, or an external command from the machine or plant control system. Its versatility allows it to operate either inline, seamlessly integrated into the production process, or in stand-alone mode as an independent automated container handling solution.
This flexibility makes Vertibox suitable for a wide variety of industrial applications, helping manufacturers improve workflow organization while reducing downtime associated with manual box replacement.
Features that make the difference
Compared to conventional container handling solutions, Vertibox offers several advanced features developed by Agibi Progetti to meet the practical needs of modern production facilities.
Among these is an automatic uniform filling function that distributes parts evenly inside the boxes, improving material organization and maximizing the use of available space.
Another key advantage is the dual storage capacity available in dedicated configurations. This feature significantly increases operating autonomy and reduces the frequency of operator intervention, contributing to higher overall productivity.
For applications requiring even greater capacity, Vertibox can operate in tandem with a second unit. This configuration doubles the available container capacity and supports high-volume production environments, ensuring continuous and reliable container management. Thanks to its modular design, companies can adapt the system to current production requirements while retaining the flexibility to expand capacity in the future.
In the following video, Vertibox is shown in its TANDEM configuration with 16 plastic boxes measuring 600 × 400 × 200 mm.
Integration with collaborative robots
Vertibox can also be integrated with collaborative robots to automate the handling and positioning of shaped parts inside trays or boxes. This solution is particularly beneficial in applications where components must be arranged according to predefined patterns, oriented correctly, or protected from damage during collection and packaging. By combining Vertibox with a collaborative robot, manufacturers can achieve more organized product handling, improved packaging quality, greater process consistency, and a significant reduction in repetitive manual operations.
The following video shows Vertibox integrated with a collaborative robot for the automatic loading and handling of parts.
Automation and continuous operation
With Vertibox, Agibi Progetti offers a scalable end-of-line automation solution designed to improve production efficiency, reduce manual handling, and optimize container management processes.
Whether used as a stand-alone unit, in TANDEM configuration, or integrated with collaborative robots, Vertibox helps manufacturers increase operational autonomy while ensuring reliable and continuous production flow.
