Italian term or phrase: ’impacchettamento delle lamelle
I have translated lamelle as lamellae as it's UK English, therefore not slats. Many thanks

Quando il valore di irradianza scende invece sotto la soglia impostata per un periodo superiore, ad esempio, a 10 minuti, le veneziane vengono completamente sollevate e impacchettate.
Il sistema prevede la possibilità da parte dell’utente di ridefinire la soglia di irradianza che controlla la chiusura/apertura delle lamelle.
Il sistema di gestione prevede la possibilità di implementare azioni di controllo automatiche come ad esempio l’impacchettamento delle lamelle quando lo stato di carica della batteria scende sotto la soglia critica predefinita.

drawing the slats together and raising them
Explanation:
basically the slats are drawn together and raised when there isn't enough battery power left to perform opening/closing operations

slats is the best word to use and is also UK english when referring to venetian blinds. I chose drawn together as the slats are connected by cords which are pulled or drawn together (impachettate)

You need to rephrase slightly as the literal 'the drawing together and raising of the slats' sounds clunky

...horizontal slats that may be opened or closed, especially one in which the slats may be raised and drawn together above the window by pulling a cord.

More particularly, my invention is concerned with the perfecting of what I term an awning blind made up of separate rigid slats so connected by links, so assembled on vertical guides, and so controlled, as to enable them to be readily drawn together into a compact pile as the blind is raised and successively set fixedly in operating position as the blind is lowered.
