Manufacturers of packaging machines like liquid packing machine and pouch filling machine constantly face challenges so as to add more automation and/or motion and flexibility in order to address the increasing demands of the packaging industry. These demands often lead to many safety issues in the industry, mainly to the employees involved directly with the machines. So, it is important to take special care while coming up with all the latest innovations. There are many ways and solutions to successfully unite flexibility of packaging machines with increased safety of machine operators. With greater competition in the market comes more pressure to increase and improve productivity, but the problem is that the innovation cycles are shorter. Therefore, what happens is that there comes more demand for increased flexibility in the packaging machines. Such demands have led to a decrease in multi-pack runs and a decrease in batch build, which further requires the packaging machines to provide solutions for multiple packaging that too from one machine. Such a level of flexibility needs to include the capability to maintain a higher level of efficiency so as to be able to perform swiftly during product changeovers. For instance, a machine would need to swiftly switch function from being a liquid packing machine to a snack packing machine. And with this added flexibility comes the safety impact on the operator. So, it is important that automation is introduced along with motion control system. This will be able to offer the packaging industry the needed flexibility while ensuring operator safety.
