I am Chen Bin, the technical service team leader of our factory. I just came back from a nut processing factory in Zhejiang with my team last week. The first sentence of Mr. Wang, the customer, impressed me deeply: "Your automatic packaging machine can be regarded as curing the 'obsessive-compulsive disorder' in our workshop."
The story started half a year ago. At that time, the customer was worried about the peak season of e-commerce-the manual packaging speed could not keep up with the rhythm of the explosion of orders, the training cost of temporary workers was high, and the mixed packaging of gift boxes of different specifications always made mistakes. After our field investigation, we found that their production line needs to handle four can specifications ranging from 250g to 1kg at the same time, and the gift box styles are updated every season.
"This is the strength of our packaging automatic cartoning machine." When I demonstrated the equipment to Mr. Wang, I deliberately mixed cans of different sizes on the conveyor belt. I saw that the robotic arm seemed to have eyes, accurately identifying the height of each can body, and automatically switching the grabbing mode according to the preset program. What's more, when encountering the size deviation of the gift box lining, the equipment will start the flexible compensation function to ensure that the flatness of the sealing box always meets the standard.
Master Li, who is operating on site, has the most say: "In the past, we had to readjust the track and change the mold to change the specifications. Now this machine can learn new parameters by itself." Indeed, the intelligent memory system equipped in our packaging automatic cartoning machine can store 20 sets of commonly used packaging solutions. Last month, the customer received an overseas order temporarily and needed to change the square gift box to a hexagonal design. The engineering department completed the solution switch in just half a day.
You may ask: What should I do if I encounter special material packaging? Last month, when we served a medical device company in Shandong, they asked us to handle sterile blister boxes. Our solution is to add a visual obstacle avoidance module and an electrostatic elimination device to the standard version of the packaging automatic case packer. Now this device can not only identify the orientation of the device in the translucent packaging box, but also automatically eliminate static electricity during the packing process to prevent precision parts from absorbing dust.
Recently, many customers are concerned about energy consumption. Last Wednesday, I went to an electronics factory in Anhui to inspect the equipment. The workshop director, Lao Zhou, pointed at the electric meter and joked: "Is your machine secretly equipped with a power saving mode?" In fact, the secret lies in our dynamic energy-saving algorithm-when the production line is detected to be idle, the packaging automatic case packer will automatically enter the standby state, which can save 30% of energy consumption compared to traditional equipment.
What makes me particularly proud is the "unexpected test" last month. The assembly line of a cosmetics customer in Guangdong suddenly lost power. After the power supply was restored, our packaging automatic case packer actually completed the process connection autonomously. This is thanks to the power-off memory function. The equipment can accurately trace back to the packaging progress at the time of the interruption, avoiding the risk of scrapping the essence gift box worth 300,000 yuan.
Seeing more and more industry partners choose our intelligent packing solution, I often tell the team: "Equipment should not only be 'smart', but also 'understand people'." Just like the new function debugged last week - when 5 consecutive packing abnormalities are detected, the automatic packing machine will automatically push the maintenance reminder, and can also predict the belt loss cycle through vibration analysis, truly solving the problem before it happens.
From nuts to chips, from glass bottles to aseptic packaging, our factory's automatic packing machines are redefining the word "adaptability". If you are also troubled by mixed packaging of multiple specifications, or are trapped by frequent production line modifications, you might as well come to the workshop. Maybe the next solution that saves you worry and money is already on the way.
