Do you believe manufacturers should prioritize automation to improve operational efficiency?
Videojet Technologies will debut its Velicity software and 8530 thermal inkjet printer at PACK EXPO International 2026, held at McCormick Place from October 18-21, 2026. These new solutions aim to help manufacturers improve production line speed and coding accuracy.
Why it matters
As production environments demand higher traceability and standardized processes, these tools are designed to automate job deployment across entire lines. This exhibition provides operators an opportunity to evaluate equipment upgrades against current operational bottlenecks.
Videojet will coordinate live product demonstrations at its main exhibit and across 50 partner booths. The 7920 UV laser is currently offered with a five-year SourceSecure warranty.
The players
Videojet Technologies
A global manufacturer of industrial coding, printing, and laser marking systems for consumer goods and packaging production.
The details
The Velicity Deploy software platform is designed to automate job deployment, shifting the manual burden of coding process standardization to a centralized system. Alongside this, the company will showcase hardware including the 1880 C continuous inkjet printer and the 9310 labeling solution. These systems allow operators to integrate automated tracking and marking directly into existing high-speed production environments.
Timeline
October 18-21, 2026: PACK EXPO International 2026 exhibition takes place at McCormick Place.
Market Landscape
This exhibition follows the established pattern of major industry players using the PACK EXPO International trade show series to roll out new hardware-software integrations. These launches reflect a wider trend toward digital standardization in the packaging and manufacturing sectors.
Operators planning to attend should prioritize evaluating how the Velicity software integrates with their existing production line management systems. Assess whether the maintenance coverage of new equipment like the 7920 laser offers a superior total cost of ownership compared to current assets.
The takeaway
The move toward automated deployment is increasingly critical for minimizing human error in fast-paced production settings. Operators should use this exhibition to compare their own coding speed metrics against these new benchmark-driven demonstrations.
