Pack Expo Chicago

IMA MED-TECH will be exhibiting at PACK EXPO International 2026, North America's premier event for packaging, processing, and automation technologies, taking place from October 18 to 21, 2026, at McCormick Place in Chicago.

This year's edition will also showcase The IMA Ever-Evolving System, a vision that introduces a new era of manufacturing driven by Cognitive Manufacturing.

The IMA Ever-Evolving System: From Automation to Cognitive Manufacturing

Manufacturing has reached extraordinary levels of automation. Today, however, the industry is entering a new phase where AI, robotics, connected systems, and human expertise work together to create smarter, more adaptive production environments.

IMA calls this evolution Cognitive Manufacturing.

More than a technological advancement, it represents a shift from machines that simply execute tasks to systems that can learn, support decision-making, and continuously improve performance while keeping people at the center of the process.

At PACK EXPO 2026, visitors will experience this vision through live demonstrations and real-world applications, discovering how intelligent software, advanced automation, data-driven insights, and human know-how combine to unlock greater productivity, flexibility, and operational intelligence.

Discover X-PEN in Action

At the IMA booth, visitors will have the opportunity to see the X-PEN platform showcasing the practical application of Cognitive Manufacturing principles in pharmaceutical and medical device production environments.

Through live demonstrations, attendees will experience how advanced automation, machine connectivity, and intelligent process management contribute to enhanced operational efficiency, reliability, and production performance.

Experience ASSEMBLA Through a Virtual Demo

Visitors will also be able to attend a virtual demonstration of ASSEMBLA, IMA MED-TECH's new Engineer-to-Order platform designed to support medical device manufacturers from clinical pre-series to large-scale industrial production.

Guided by our sales representatives, attendees will explore the platform through an immersive and interactive experience, discovering its modular architecture, scalability, and flexibility across different production volumes and applications, including injectable devices, inhalers, diagnostic products, wearable technologies, and ophthalmic systems.

An interactive LED wall will provide a dynamic visualization of ASSEMBLA's key concepts and workflows, allowing visitors to navigate the platform and gain insight into how it supports machine development, faster scale-up, and seamless adaptation to evolving manufacturing requirements.

Through this engaging demonstration, visitors will discover how ASSEMBLA helps manufacturers improve flexibility, enhance operational efficiency, and support future growth through a scalable and connected ecosystem.
