From candy and chocolates to vitamins, supplements, and pharmaceutical products, accurate counting plays a vital role in product quality, regulatory compliance, and consumer trust. A single miscount can lead to customer dissatisfaction, compliance issues, or costly rework. That’s why manufacturers across food and regulated industries are turning to advanced, vision-based counting technology.
At PLAN IT Packaging, the EliteCount system is designed to deliver precise, repeatable counts using high-resolution vision systems and intelligent detection software.
Unlike traditional mechanical counters that rely on weight measurements or basic sensors, vision-based counting allows each individual piece to be identified, tracked, and verified in real time.
This technology moves beyond estimation, it provides visual confirmation of every product that passes through the system.
Vision systems “see” each product as it moves through the counter, enabling:
Accuracy is especially critical for pharmaceuticals, vitamins, nutraceuticals, and other regulated products where correct counts are required to meet labeling, dosing, and compliance expectations. When compliance matters, precision isn’t optional, it’s mandatory.
EliteCount is designed to handle a wide range of products, including:
The system adapts easily to different SKUs without lengthy changeovers. With recipe-driven controls and intuitive interfaces, operators can switch between products quickly while maintaining consistent performance and output.
That flexibility supports high-mix production environments and fast-paced manufacturing lines.
Accurate counting protects more than just the package — it protects:
By eliminating overfills, underfills, and manual counting errors, EliteCount helps manufacturers reduce waste, improve throughput, and maintain confidence in every unit that leaves the line.
In today’s advanced packaging environments, visibility equals reliability. Vision-based counting makes the difference because seeing is counting. If precision, compliance, and efficiency are priorities for your production line, intelligent vision technology is the solution that keeps your operation moving forward.

International Women’s Day is a time to celebrate progress and recognize the opportunity ahead especially in manufacturing and automation.
Women make up roughly 28–30% of the manufacturing workforce in North America, yet representation in engineering, robotics, and industrial automation roles is often closer to 15–20%. As packaging lines become more advanced, driven by robotics, AI, and data, the need for diverse technical talent continues to grow.
At the same time, research from McKinsey & Company shows that companies in the top quartile for gender diversity are 25% more likely to achieve above-average profitability. In automation, where performance and innovation are everything, diverse teams are a competitive advantage.
Modern packaging environments rely less on physical labor and more on:
As automation reshapes the production floor, it also creates space for broader participation and leadership.
At PLAN IT Packaging, we see firsthand how collaboration, technical expertise, and diverse perspectives strengthen our projects from system design to commissioning and long-term support.
We are proud of the women across our organization who contribute to engineering, marketing, operations, project coordination, and customer success. As automation continues to evolve, we remain committed to fostering growth, opportunity, and leadership within our team and the industry as a whole.
The future of automated packaging is not just about smarter machines. It is about stronger, more inclusive teams building them. Learn more about PLAN IT Packaging here.

Real Conversations. Real Automation. Real Momentum.
Pack Expo East 2026 in Philadelphia delivered exactly what we come to these shows for: meaningful conversations with manufacturers who are serious about improving throughput, reducing labor strain, and building packaging lines that scale.
From the moment the doors opened, our booth stayed active with operators, engineers, managers, and leadership teams looking for practical automation solutions, not buzzwords. The common thread across nearly every discussion was clear: production demands are rising, labor is tight, and consistency is non-negotiable. The good news? The right equipment choices and line layouts can make a measurable impact fast.
Across food, snack, bakery, nutraceutical, and general CPG applications, manufacturers shared similar pain points:
Our team spent the show doing what we love: breaking down these challenges and mapping out the most efficient automation path, whether that means starting with a single packaging station or building toward a complete end-to-end line.
This year, we brought a full range of packaging and automation systems so attendees could see how the pieces fit together in a real production environment.
Automation at the end of the line was one of the biggest topics of the show. Many teams are ready to reduce repetitive manual tasks and improve consistency, especially in case handling and palletizing conversations. Our Cobot System and RoboPacker sparked strong interest as flexible, scalable options for operations looking to take the next step.
Bagging and portion packaging were constant conversation drivers, especially for operations balancing speed with accuracy. Systems like the RotoBagger, EcoBagger + Auger Filler, and 2 Lane Stick Pack were central to discussions around efficiency, dosing accuracy, and clean, repeatable packaging results.
When accuracy and consistency matter, weighing systems become the heartbeat of a packaging line. We spent a lot of time talking through product behavior, ideal hopper sizes, and how the right scale configuration impacts speed and cost control. The 14 Head Scale and EliteWeigh Weigher 24H 0.5L generated strong interest for teams wanting dependable performance across different product types.
For teams focused on throughput and uptime, our VFFS and packaging platforms were a key draw. The MarsRapid VFFS, ComboPack Case Former & Bag Inserter, and Pack500 flow wrapper drove great conversations around film handling, seal integrity, changeover simplicity, and building a platform that supports growth.
To everyone who visited our booth, thank you. If we didn’t get enough time together on the show floor, we’d love to continue the conversation with a quick line review call. Whether you’re upgrading a single component or planning a full automation roadmap, our team can help you:
