Discuss Your Packaging Automation RequirementsOur Packaging Automation Solutions help manufacturers automate product handling, packing, labelling, conveying, inspection and end-of-line processes. We develop solutions around your product, packaging sequence, machine layout and production requirements, with support ranging from individual automation components to integrated packaging-line systems.
What Our Packaging Automation Solutions Help With
Packaging lines often involve several processes that must work in sequence. Products may need to be positioned, packed, labelled, inspected and transferred before reaching end-of-line operations.
Our approach starts with the packaging process and identifies where automation, motion control, handling or inspection technologies can improve the way these stages operate together.
Packaging Automation Applications
Depending on the production requirement, our solutions can support:
-
Automated packing
for product positioning, handling and transfer
-
Labelling automation
as part of the wider packaging sequence
-
Conveying and product transfer
between packing, inspection and end-of-line stages
-
Robotic handling
for pick-and-place, positioning and transfer operations
-
Machine vision
for visual inspection, defect detection, barcode and QR code reading, OCR and verification
-
Motion control
for controlled machine movement, positioning and speed
-
AMR integration
for flexible internal material transportation
-
Industrial software
for production monitoring, data collection and traceability
-
End-of-line automation
involving handling, movement, inspection and system integration
The appropriate combination depends on the product, packaging process and production layout.
Motion Control for Packaging Machinery
Packaging machines often require controlled movement and positioning. Our supported technologies include servo motors and amplifiers, stepper motors and drivers, AC, DC and BLDC motors, electric actuators, planetary gearboxes, motion controllers, PLCs, HMIs, frequency inverters and I/O modules.
Our engineering support can also include component selection, motor sizing and simulation according to the packaging-machine application.
Automated Inspection and Identification
Machine vision can be integrated into packaging lines where products, labels, codes or packaging conditions need automated verification.
Applications can include visual inspection, defect detection, barcode and QR code reading, OCR, positioning and alignment. The vision system should be configured around the specific feature or information that needs to be checked.
Supporting Packaging Machine Manufacturers
We can support packaging machine builders with technical consultation, component selection, motor sizing and simulation, motion-control support, PLC and software support, system integration, installation support, technical training and after-sales service.
This allows automation requirements to be considered from component selection through machine implementation and ongoing technical support.
How We Support Packaging Automation Projects
-
1. Review the packaging requirement
We assess the product flow, machine process and automation objectives.
-
2. Identify the automation opportunity
This may involve packing, handling, conveying, inspection, machine motion or end-of-line processes.
-
3. Select suitable technologies
Components and automation technologies are selected according to the application.
-
4. Plan system integration
Robotics, motion control, machine vision, PLC/software and other technologies can be integrated where required.
-
5. Support implementation and operation
Installation, commissioning, technical training, troubleshooting and after-sales support can be provided according to project scope.
