1. An apparatus for the packaging of containers of devices for pharmaceutical use, comprising:
a robotic bagging arm movable from a gripping position, in which said robotic bagging arm picks up a container previously sealed by at least one protective sheet, to a release position in which said robotic bagging arm inserts said container in a bag through a suitable opening provided on a side of said bag;
wherein said robotic bagging arm is connected to at least one position control camera;
wherein said position control camera is configured to read coordinates of a midpoint of said opening with respect to a lying plane on which said bag lies and/or an angle of rotation of said bag with respect to an axis perpendicular to said lying plane, so as to ensure a correct positioning and release of said container inside said bag; and
a spreader device configured to widen said opening of said bag through which said container is to be inserted, and wherein said position control camera monitors and controls a vertical dimension of said spreader device, along a vertical axis perpendicular to the lying plane of said bag, after the spreader device has widened said opening.
