PROXAUT showcased the compact CUBE shuttle alongside the Middleby Food Processing Group at EATS
From October 28 to 30, 2025, McCormick Place in Chicago, the largest convention center in North America, hosted a new edition of EATS (formerly Process Expo). As the only North American trade show representing the entire food and beverage manufacturing industry, the three-day event brought together thousands of professionals to explore the latest technological trends in meat, plant-based protein, beverage, bakery, and prepared food processing.
At booth 5312, PROXAUT exhibited alongside other leading brands from the Middleby Food Processing Group, presenting tailored solutions designed to help manufacturers maintain their competitive edge through process automation.
During the exhibition, the PROXAUT team highlighted the capabilities of CUBE, an inertial-guided compact shuttle with magnetic navigation. Representing the smallest model in PROXAUT’s Shuttle SH series, this vehicle was engineered to meet evolving market demands for agile intralogistics.
Equipped with an innovative rack-and-pinion lifting system, CUBE is ideally suited for transporting standard Euro pallets (1200 x 800 mm) with a maximum payload of up to 1,000 kg (2,204.6 lbs). Key operational advantages featured at the show included:
- Compact footprint: Ensures smooth navigation within tight warehouse aisles and production areas.
- High payload capacity: Handles unit loads of up to 1,000 kg despite its small frame.
- Cost-effective investment: Provides an accessible solution for automating loading and unloading operations on roller conveyors and transport belts.
