Abstract: A main module (110) for a modular packaging system for packaging of medical articles, wherein the main module (100) comprises a main control unit (mCU), a mounting backbone structure (111) configured to receive a plurality of sub-modules (120_1-120_n), a plurality of main-module communication interfaces (I_1m-I_nm), each associated with a specific order position of a sub-module, and wherein the main control unit (mCU) is configured to receive a sub-module identification via the main-module communication interfaces (I_1m-I_nm), and the sub-module identification at least gives access to at least one dimensional parameter of a sub-module (120_1-120_n).

Abstract: A cartoner includes an entrance section, a loading section, an exit section, a transport system and a controller. The entrance section is configured for picking carton blanks from a magazine and folding a first side of the carton. The loading section is configured for loading a product into the first-side-folded carton. The exit section is configured for closing the loaded carton. The transport system is configured for transporting the first-side-folded carton from the entrance section to the loading section and the loaded carton from the loading section to the exit section. The controller is arranged for controlling an operation following each carton through the cartoner. The controller is further arranged for adapting, for each carton, a distance between two consecutive carriers of the transport system in dependence to a size of the first-side-folded carton and driving the two consecutive carriers maintaining the distance.
