LeafyPack, a manufacturer of packing automation solutions for the cannabis industry, today announced its expansion into robotics, artificial intelligence and vision systems.
With the debut of its Spyder Pick and Place Joint Robot, Robopacker, and Cobot Palletizer, alongside the next generation of its pre-made pouching systems, LeafyPack said it is bridging the gap between cannabis packaging systems and the automation standards seen in mature industries such as food and beverage, pharmaceuticals, and consumer packaged goods.
At the center of LeafyPack’s expansion is the Spyder Pick and Place Joint Robot, a machine capable of detecting and classifying pre-rolls by quality, then autonomously picking and placing them into tins, jars, or tubes to complete the end-of-line packaging process.
The Robopacker builds on this innovation by combining multiple automation functions into a single compact unit, integrating a case erector, vision system, and pick-and-place robotics to streamline case packing.

For end-of-line efficiency, the Cobot Palletizer introduces collaborative robotics to the cannabis industry, safely and precisely stacking finished cases while reducing repetitive strain on human operators.

LeafyPack’s next generation of pouching systems also advances with the Rotobagger Gen 2 and Ecovape Premade Poucher, both enhanced with AI-driven product counters and adaptive servo controls to deliver efficiency, sustainability, and product accuracy.
“The cannabis industry is entering a new phase of sophistication, where automation and robotics are no longer optional but essential,” said Jonathan Ballard, Vice President of LeafyPack. “We are seeing the same transformation that the food, pharma, and CPG sectors experienced decades ago. Automation, robotics, and AI are the tools that will help cannabis operators reach that same level of consistency, compliance, and scale.”
By introducing these technologies, LeafyPack is enabling producers to achieve parity with mainstream packaging, where robotics and vision systems are standard tools for precision, traceability, and quality assurance.
“Our mission has always been to help operators future-proof their operations,” said Ballard. “These systems are built for scalability, not just solving today’s bottlenecks but preparing businesses for what’s next: data-driven production, predictive maintenance, and AI-assisted optimization. Every system we design is meant to evolve with our customers as their needs grow.”
