Digital transformation is without a doubt the key to efficient, competitive production. But the term covers a wide range of possible initiatives, many of which cannot be implemented ad hoc because they tie up considerable human and financial resources. Add to this the risk that a flawed transition will not only lead to production delays but also cause quality problems and waste. Furthermore, inefficient use of resources significantly increases operating costs. In high-speed packaging technology production, these are factors that need to be avoided at all costs. The LEIBINGER Connect digital control station is a prime example of how simple, precisely targeted steps can have a big impact.
Packaging machines are among the fastest systems in industrial manufacturing. Cycle times of a few hundred milliseconds are hard-fought. But no matter how powerful a machine may be, it remains part of a finely tuned process chain: packaging, coding and marking, documenting and tracing. Only when all these processes are seamlessly integrated can the line achieve the productivity that is needed in today’s world.
