Trapax Robotics invent automated solution to packing Trap-Eye units.

By using a robot arm, Trapax Robotix has successfully found a way of packing Trap-Eye units without the help of a human hand.

[Delft, The Netherlands] In November 2026 the new packing solution for packing Trap-Eye units will be launched. The solution will contain a robot arm. It will place product supports in a box and place the Trap-Eyes in the product support. The robot will add slip-sheets to the bottom and top for and extra layer of support. By using a Intel Realsense camera, the robot arm will exactly know which products to pick and where to place them.

The main issue with the initial process is that every step had to be done by hand. This takes a lot of time and effort from people who could spend their time much better elsewhere. It also unnecessary delays the process before shipping, since the process is not carried out at night.

By using the robot arm, no humans have to be involved. The robot will carry out every step of the packing process. No time or effort is wasted, the robot can even work through the night!

Rianne Diever: “As a company you always want to keep on improving, be better, be smarter. In our case the future is in robotics. A simple task, that wastes the time of employees but is definitely necessary, can be done by the robot arm. It saves time, money and effort that better can be used elsewhere.”

The process is simple: after the costumer has placed the Trap-Eye units that need to be packed on the designated shelf and has sufficiently filled the packing material, boxes and stickers, only a start button has to be pressed, the robot arm will carry on the packing process itself. After the robot is done, the boxes only need to be carried over to the postman.

Mosquitronics Delft*: “The packing of the Trap-Eye units always took us lots of time, with so many steps in the producing of the Trap-Eye already, the packing of it increased our workload significantly. We want to be quicker and we want to have time to work on other important steps of producing the Trap-Eye. Luckily we have the robot arm now, which packs the Trap-Eye units, without us even having to think about it!”
