Abstract
The invention relates to a packaging or palletizing machine, a system and a method for automated generation of motion and position parameters for a packaging or palletizing machine for bundle arrangements. Layer and/or packaging parameters can be entered at a user interface that is used to generate parameters for controlling the packaging or palletizing machine. A digital twin of the packaging or palletizing machine can be used to generate or calculate the parameters. This allows the calculated parameters to be tested and validated by simulation using the digital twin. The parameters are generated such that the packaging machine being controlled using the parameters creates a package for a bundle according to the packaging and/or layer parameters and/or the palletizing machine being controlled using the parameters arranges bundles according to the layer and/or packaging parameters. After generating the parameters, the packaging or palletizing machine is configured based on the calculated parameters.
