PACKAGING KNOWLEDGE HUB

At 03:17 on a Tuesday, the case packer stops again. The HMI shows “Product jam at infeed”. The operator clears a few bags, restarts, and the line is running within minutes. Seemingly, a minor incident, but the same jam has occurred several times a night for weeks, slowly eroding OEE and increasing stress on the team.

Digitalisation in food manufacturing has moved well beyond basic PLC data. For secondary packaging solutions, the challenge is more than running a case packer fast. Performance needs to be predictable, maintainable, and transparent across entire sites.

For many food, snacks and beverage producers, growth has come through acquisition and expansion rather than greenfield perfection. The result? A network of factories, each with its own history, suppliers and “special solutions” at the end of the line. It works – but it is hard to scale.

Take a visual dive into how we solve packaging automation.

Food manufacturers face high volumes, tight margins, and constant product variation. The right secondary packaging equipment should cover these challenges. Our new wrap-around case packer with automatic format changes gives you the necessary competitive advantage.
