Through the Line Podcast: Live from PACK EXPO—Actionable Data, Fenceless Cobot Safety, and the Humanoids That Didn’t Show

Everyone agreed the industry needed more data. What happens when the machines start telling you what to do with it?

Derrick Teal and Casey Flanagan report from day two of PACK EXPO International on inspection systems pairing detection with AI-generated recommendations, plant-isolated language models, and agentic assistants taking items off a supply chain planner’s list. 

They also cover approaches to cobot safety sensing, why the humanoid robots that were everywhere at Interpack aren't as present at Chicago, and what several exhibitors told them about next year’s show in Las Vegas.
