The structural growth of ecommerce is transforming the organization of logistics centres. The increase in shipping volumes, the progressive fragmentation of orders and the demand for more sustainable packaging are imposing new standards of flexibility and control on warehouses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Coesia, among the 1600+ exhibitors at LogiMAT, in Hall 8 \u2013 Booth 8C21, seeks to respond to this need with an integrated portfolio covering packaging, handling and palletizing, aiming to position itself as a technology partner capable of operating consistently across the entire order fulfillment flow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cEcommerce has transformed the warehouse into an environment where every order is a case of its own. Different products, different formats, different timing, and the constant need to optimize every phase,\u201d says Alessandro Parimbelli, CEO of Coesia. \u201cThe solutions we bring to LogiMAT come from this context: automation that adapts to the real flow of operations, not the other way around. Every shipment with empty space is a cost that someone ultimately pays \u2014 whether the manufacturer, the distributor or the planet. Our goal is to eliminate such costs through packaging that adapts to the product and delivers measurable results from the very day one. Our approach brings together the key elements of mechanical automation, digital integration and modular architecture. In this way, customers can configure lines that closely match their processes, improving operational efficiency and optimizing the use of packaging materials.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

According to recent market analyses,the global market for automated e-commerce packaging solutions is expected to grow at a compound annual rate of over 16% in the next five years, driven by the need to reduce operating costs, increase fulfillment speed and optimize shipping volumes. Warehouses must be able to handle heterogeneous products in terms of size and characteristics while maintaining high standards for traceability, accuracy and speed in order preparation. Automation therefore represents a decisive factor in ensuring operational continuity, cost control and service quality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Solutions on show<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

SELECTA is System Digital\u2019s solution \u2014 a Coesia Group company \u2014 for the automated handling of pre-formed paper bags in ecommerce fulfillment. The system is designed to eliminate one of the most common bottlenecks in packaging operations: the manual selection of the most suitable format for the product.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once it receives the dimensional data of the product from the customer\u2019s management system or through direct acquisition via incoming scanning, SELECTA automatically selects the correct bag among the formats available in stock. The bag is then picked, opened and presented to the operator in an ergonomic position for quick loading. Once the product is inserted, the system performs the sealing, applies the shipping label and transfers the package to the outgoing line, ready for logistics.<\/p>\n\n\n

The result is a faster, more precise and more sustainable process. Packaging calibrated to the product means less material used, reduced shipping volumes and a customer experience cared for down to the last detail. SELECTA manages five bag formats \u2014 from Small (300\u00d7250 mm) to XXL (600\u00d7450 mm) \u2014 with productivity of up to 530 pieces per hour in a fully automated configuration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

System Digital \u2013 ELEVA<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

ELEVA is System Digital\u2019s modular platform for the automated handling of corrugated cardboard boxes in intralogistics. The system integrates functional modules for box erecting, dynamic height adjustment, closing and labeling. The height-reduction module operates continuously rather than discretely, processing boxes with different bases in sequence without requiring mechanical changeovers between formats. ELEVA reads the height of the inserted product and automatically adjusts the cardboard, eliminating empty space, improving load stability and reducing transport costs. Throughput reaches up to 600 units per hour.<\/p>\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

The modular architecture is designed to evolve over time, with each module able to be operated independently or integrated into a complete line, allowing the system to be configured according to the available layout and the desired level of automation. At LogiMAT 2026, ELEVA will be presented through technical materials and dedicated insights at the booth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
