As a technician who has been working in the packaging equipment industry for ten years, my biggest headache every day is that customers complain about "packaging line jams" - slow carton sealing, much waste of wrapping film, and each device doing its own thing... Until our factory launched the collaborative operation solution of the fully automatic carton packaging machine and the plastic wrapping machine, these problems were truly "cured".
1. The machine works together, and the efficiency is doubled.
In the past, many customers used semi-automatic equipment, and carton packaging and wrapping film wrapping had to be operated separately. Not only did the workers run back and forth, but the efficiency was also low. The core of the solution we designed is to let the fully automatic carton packaging machine and the plastic wrapping machine work "hand in hand". For example, as soon as the carton is taped, the conveyor belt immediately pushes the box to the plastic wrapping machine at the next station. After the machine automatically identifies the size, it can wrap the dustproof film within 3 seconds.
Some customers reported that since using this combination, their e-commerce package processing volume has soared from 200 pieces per hour to more than 500 pieces. The key is that there has never been a loose film or carton deformation. Behind this is actually the "quiet conversation" between the sensors of the two machines - after the fully automatic carton packaging machine completes the operation, it will share the carton size and weight data with the wrapping machine in real time, and the latter will automatically adjust the wrapping force and number of turns.
2. Save manpower and materials, and the failure rate has dropped by 70%
In the past, the workshop was most afraid of night shifts. Workers might miss packaging or overwrap if they were slightly distracted. Now our fully automatic carton packaging machine has a built-in correction function. Even if the carton is tilted by 5 cm, the robotic arm can straighten it steadily. What's even more amazing is the "film consumption calculation module" of the plastic wrapping machine, which accurately controls the film length by infrared scanning the surface area of the carton, saving more than 15% of consumables compared to manual operation.
Last month, a toy factory in Guangdong upgraded this line. The packaging workshop, which originally required 6 people working in three shifts, now only needs 2 inspectors staring at the screen. Their production supervisor Lao Li also joked: "The machine is more reliable than people, and working at three o'clock in the morning is more energetic than working during the day!"
3. Small upgrades solve big pain points
Some customers are worried about the trouble of equipment transformation. In fact, our collaborative solution does not require major changes to the production line. Both the fully automatic carton packaging machine and the plastic wrapping machine are modularly designed and can be directly embedded in the existing production line. The Zhejiang auto parts factory project, which was just delivered last week, took only 36 hours from the equipment entering the site to the linkage debugging. The customer originally thought that it would stop production for three days, but it was installed before getting off work on Friday and started working directly on Monday morning.
What I am most proud of is our fault warning system. Last week, the fully automatic carton packaging machine of a Suzhou customer suddenly slowed down, and the background immediately popped up a prompt saying that the temperature of the tape roller was too high. The technical team guided the customer through a video to clean the dust on the heat dissipation port, and it returned to normal in ten minutes. This proactive repair function is much better than the traditional equipment firefighting after the accident!
Conclusion
After so many years of equipment debugging, I have seen through it - a good solution is not about how beautiful the parameters are, but it can really help customers save money and worry. The combination of our factory's fully automatic carton packaging machine and plastic wrapping machine has allowed more than 20 companies to throw away old equipment. If you are also worried about packaging efficiency, you might as well come to the workshop to see how these two "golden partners" work. I guarantee that you will sigh: "It should have been upgraded long ago!"
