Yaskawa. The Team Behind your Packaging Machine.

The way the world packages is changing. Are you ready? How are you addressing the change in the packaging landscape? A large CPG end-user that makes chips was challenged to meet increasing volume as a result of rising customer orders. Their process centered around focusing line workers on exclusive tasks, such as bagging, sorting and case packing. All in an effort to produce more pallets stacked with more bags of chips. As demand rose, the company continued to add more workers to the line until, finally they decided to automate. MOTIONCENTRIC SOLUTION PLCS IN PACKAGING INTRODUCED Moving to...

Chip packaging was done manually. Demand increased. End users added more people to keep up with demand. CASE PACKING THE FIRST WAVE OF AUTOMATION Until they had to automate, these first machines were very mechanical and had PLC control. Attention quickly turned to maintenance. In order to reduce costs, components like the PLC were standardized. VERTICAL FORM FILL & SEAL This maintenancefocus produced on average a 45-50% OEE across the CPG industry. CASE PACKER CASE PACKING CPG end users tell us they are now moving from a MAINTENANCEFOCUS to an OUTCOME-FOCUS based on standards like OEE and...

What is a motion-centric solution? The motion-centric difference. Motion-centric solutions are different from a PLC-based control system in the following ways: • ontain large data arrays for recipe management and higher servo C axis count which allow for machine builder innovation. • Employ higher performance through electronic camming with thousands of cam points delivering smooth motion. • Change cam profiles on the fly allowing fast and predictable changeovers. • Ethernet/IP and PackML for machine-to-machine connectivity providing communication to OEE monitoring products. Because of...
