Schubert - Packaging Machine: Sustainable secondary packaging

The Almere plant in the Netherlands supplies eleven European countries with Yakult. Yakult wanted to switch from film to cardboard for secondary packaging targeted to this market. The requirements for the packaging system were numerous: in addition to high performance and a predefined, small footprint, flexible format options were also on the wish list. Additionally, the machine had to optionally be capable of inserting customer information leaflets between the bottles in the cartons.

It's an amazing machine, but I can't help feel it could have been a quarter the size with ten times fewer parts.
It performs the following processes:
- forming of boxes
- packing of bottles into boxes
- hot-gluing and sealing of boxes
- forming of cartons
- packing of boxes into cartons
- hot-gluing and sealing of cartons
at around 8 bottles or 1 box per second, which in my opinion isn't that fast.
I know that the principle of Schubert machines is thoughtful division of work, conservative over-engineering, and minimising "fudginess" - this way they always deliver a machine that works beyond spec, with less chance of failure. However, I find it more satisfying to see compact and efficient machinery design with a minimal number of parts to still permit good product flow and smooth running.

Which servomotor brand does it use ? I noticed it uses "Sick" sensor. Does it use io-link ?
