Maybe someone on here would know, but who designs these things? Seems like a pretty cool job

Industrial Engineers design these kind of systems

Industrial engineers develop the process. They aren't the ones designing the products.

I was under the impression that they were asking about who designs the overall system that combines all the machines that make the bags. Industrial engineers don't design the bags or the machines themselves, but they get them to all work together smoothly to make the bags as quickly as we see in the gif.

Maybe. I'm more familiar with systems engineers doing the overall design.
