By integrating cobots to automate the reel loading process, CoboREEL's unmatched 18-reel capacity ensures 100% accuracy, optimises efficiency, boosts productivity and increases profitability.

The global demand for packaged water is forecast to have risen by 3.5% to over 350 billion litres by 2029, largely due to the growing scarcity of clean drinking water in many regions, increasing tourism and the rise in on-the-go consumption, and despite the introduction of stringent regulations on single-use plastic in many countries[1]. Volumes of carbonates are also expected to have risen by 2.2% by 2029 too as health and sustainability are set to be major trends in the category[2]. These are only two of the main beverage categories expected to grow, however others in PET packaging are on the same trajectory.

As cutting costs and improving efficiency are essential in such high-volume segments, packaging leader Sidel has created CoboREEL, an innovative solution to boost the labelling step.

By automating this simple, repetitive task with integrated cobots, manufacturers achieve 100% accuracy and maximum precision—minimising errors, delays, and misplacements that can lead to unexpected downtime and lost productivity. It also eliminates the need for manual label reel changes, further reducing disruption to operations.
