Contact lens packaging processing

Abstract

An industrial automation system may separate a foil cover sheet of a contact lens package from its body to enable, for example, sustainable practices such as recycling, repackaging, relabeling, flexible storing, and the like. The system may include a press and a gripper. The press may be configured to displace a portion of the package to generate an edge separation between the package foil cover sheet and body. The gripper may grasp the sheet at the edge separation and detach the sheet from the body.
