Benefits of Packaging Systems Integration
Only an experienced, client-focused packaging systems integrator can maximize your ROI with an effective custom-designed packaging system that fully conforms to your needs. Through close collaboration, we provide our manufacturing partners with custom automated packaging solutions founded on the following benefits.
- Increased Operational Efficiency: A central control console provides system operators with comprehensive oversight of their fully integrated packaging line. It allows them to easily detect and correct errors that otherwise lead to bottlenecks and waste. The packaging system itself becomes faster and more accurate, leading to shorter run times and greater production capacities. Changeovers also become faster, with less need for system recalibration.
- Increased Worker Safety and Ergonomics: The mechanical advantages of a custom automated packaging system reduce repetitive tasks, protecting employees from RSI and other musculoskeletal injuries. Our ergonomic systems also enhance worker efficiency and their ability to focus on their tasks, not continual readjustments.
- Reduced Costs: Task automation decreases total packaging costs, with fewer errors, less waste, and more effective allocation of labor. Your company’s average TCO will far exceed that of competitors without integrated packaging systems. Your customers will also benefit from faster start-up times and greater product consistency.
- Better Data Collection: With enhanced uniformity comes simplified data collection. Valuable system information (e.g., maintenance cycles, production stats, and date codes) provides system operators with the insight needed to consistently make decisions driven by hard data.
- Quality Assurance: Total quality assurance is only possible by managing the entire packaging process. With custom automated packaging solutions, you’ll achieve the total system oversight required to verify product quality and continually enhance line processes.
TPC Packaging Solutions Approach to Packaging Systems Integration
As a leading packaging systems integrator, TPC approaches each client’s needs with a full-spectrum view of their products’ packing requirements and existing system capacities. From the initial consultation and design phase to systems integration, testing, and verification processes, our experienced robotics and automation technicians provide total client support. That also includes ongoing training and guidance for extracting maximum value from their new, custom-automated packaging system.
Packaging Systems Integration Capabilities
Packaging systems line integration draws together several technologies, including robotics, control systems, sensors, and the software required for oversight and analysis.
- Packaging Line Integration: Streamlining the entire packaging line sometimes requires a total redesign to increase production capacities and enhance efficiency. It involves careful evaluation of product and packaging specifications, along with facility operations, supplier relationships, and technical possibilities. These factors and more go into selecting the right automation strategies for the client’s needs. Ultimately, the client receives a fully integrated packaging line designed for maximum performance based on their actual use cases.
- Control Systems Integration: Maximum functionality requires the most user-friendly controls possible. By employing sophisticated control systems, the packaging line effectively manages and coordinates its diverse components, guaranteeing seamless and optimized operation. We also take the need for “futureproofing” seriously, which ensures the client’s integrated packaging control system resists obsolescence.
- Robotics Integration: Robotics equipment is necessary throughout the packaging line to improve speed, efficiency, and accuracy. These keystone benefits enable facility operators to reduce labor, maximize safety, and enhance quality. Along with robotics comes the need for automation and programming, requiring sophisticated computerized controls and employee upskilling.
- Data Acquisition and Analysis: Holding it all together is data — or more specifically, the algorithms required to use that data effectively. By tracking production metrics, companies can customize the system as their needs change and tighten quality controls. Our approach to IT in the packaging automation industry is to give clients the simplest and most effective tools. By working together, our partners learn exactly how to apply system data to their overall risk assessment and mitigation strategy.
