For this edition of #Therobotindustrypodcast (#120) I caught up with an old friend, David McCharles from Pineberry Manufacturing during Informa's ATX and PackEx Toronto show. David is an entrepreneur business owner and golfer.

David manufactures very specific machinery to the automation and packaging market: Friction feeders, pick and place dispensers, plastic card material handling equipment, card affixers, conveyors, leaflet dispensers, custom automation, labelling systems, inkjet, collation systems and more.

We talk about what's happening in packaging automation and his changes from 2009.

Automation integration, robotics integration.
