Automation for Speed and Sanitation Integrion Automation is highlighting its systems designed to address speed, sanitation, and throughput demands in modern food and beverage production. The company, formerly Wauseon Machine's Automation and Tube End Forming division, offers robotic packaging, case packing and sealing, palletizing, material handling, filling and dispensing, and vision inspection capabilities.
Core Capabilities Integrion's product portfolio targets multiple production challenges.
Robotic packaging and case packing systems provide consistent output, while palletizing and material-handling solutions reduce manual work during labor shortages. Vision inspection systems support product quality and traceability through final packaging. The company designs systems for fast product changeovers, allowing facilities to transition between products or packaging formats with minimal downtime. Integrion can support single-line upgrades or full-facility integrations, scaling to match manufacturers' immediate and long-term operational priorities.
Experience and Support Integrion brings more than 40 years of experience and more than 1,000 installed automation systems across industries, including food and beverage. Beyond commissioning, the company provides proactive maintenance programs, rapid on-site service, and ongoing lifecycle support to protect uptime and reduce disruptions that could jeopardize product freshness windows or retailer delivery commitments.
Why It Matters
Food and beverage manufacturers face persistent labor constraints and retailer demands for consistent delivery and quality. Purpose-built automation systems that address both hygiene compliance and line flexibility can help producers maintain throughput without sacrificing sanitation standards or operational reliability.

Frequently Asked Questions
What specific automation capabilities does Integrion offer for food manufacturers?
Integrion delivers robotic packaging, case packing and sealing, palletizing, material handling, filling and dispensing, and vision inspection systems. The company engineered these solutions specifically for food and beverage production, where sanitation and speed matter equally—you can't trade hygiene for throughput.
How many automation systems has Integrion installed, and what's their track record?
Integrion has deployed more than 1,000 systems across industries over 40-plus years in the automation business. That installed base gives them real-world data on what fails and what holds up under continuous production cycles in actual food plants.
Can Integrion handle product changeovers without killing line efficiency?
Yes—their systems are designed for fast changeovers between products and packaging formats with minimal downtime. That capability directly addresses retailer delivery commitments and product freshness windows, which tighten your margin for error on a daily basis.
Does Integrion support partial upgrades or only full-facility integrations?
Integrion scales to your reality—single-line upgrades, full-facility integrations, or anything between. They design around your immediate labor gaps and long-term strategic priorities, not a one-size-fits-all playbook.
What kind of support does Integrion provide after system installation?
Beyond commissioning, they offer proactive maintenance programs, rapid on-site service response, and lifecycle support to protect uptime. In food production, downtime doesn't just cost money—it breaks retailer commitments and accelerates product degradation.
