Introduction: The “First Mile” of Automation When a packaging line underperforms, the blame often falls on the “star” equipment: the Multihead Weigher or the VFFS bagger. Engineers tweak the weigher’s vibration or adjust the bagger’s sealing time, yet the efficiency issues persist. Why? Because the root cause is often upstream. The problem is rarely the […]

Introduction: A Collection of Parts is Not a Whole In the packaging industry, terms like “conveyor” and “conveyor system” are often used interchangeably. However, for a factory manager or a machine integrator, the difference between the two is the difference between a production line that flows smoothly and one that suffers from chronic “stop-and-go” headaches.

Introduction: It’s Not Just About Moving Products If you are a machine manufacturer (OEM) or a factory manager, you know that a packaging line is only as fast as its slowest transfer point. You can have the world’s fastest Multihead Weigher, but if the feeding conveyor bridges or the takeaway belt bottlenecks, your OEE (Overall
