Automated packaging machinery, and automatic packaging lines that link machines together, make the production of most manufactured items viable. It also enables companies in most industries to mass-produce items cost effectively.
Generally packaging lines are comprised of three sections:
- Front, which gets the product and materials required for packaging to the production line.
- Middle, that gets the completed product into the packaging.
- End, which is where the packaged products are accumulated for shipping.
Machines used in the front, middle, and at the end of the production lines vary, depending on the actual task they are designed to do. They include depalletizers, oreinters, fillers, labelers, case packers, unitizers, and more.
Numerous aids are also available to improve automation, including sensors, motion-control devices, and human/machine interfaces (HMIs) that help to monitor and control automated packaging machinery, improving efficiency and productivity.
But the question is, which industries benefit most from the use of automated packaging machinery, and what equipment do they utilize?
