The notebook of Chen Wei, the production supervisor, is covered with colorful labels on the equipment parameter page. Behind her, three production lines are processing pet food bags, beauty kits and electronic component packages at the same time-this is the 37th batch of multi-category mixed production orders received by a certain OEM factory this year. "In the past, it took 4 hours to stop the machine to debug the mold when changing lines. Now this system can complete 90% of the preparation work by itself." She clicked on the dynamic mold change system on the central control screen, and the flexible revolution in the packaging machine industry is taking root in specific production scenarios.
The core of the flexible packaging solution is to resolve the pain points of "small batches and multiple batches" production. When the production line receives new order parameters, the self-learning algorithm will simultaneously start the mold database matching, compressing the traditional manual drawing comparison process to within 12 minutes. The actual test data of a snack OEM company showed that the solution increased the switching efficiency of its mooncake gift box and conventional product production lines by 160%, and the packaging process innovation was directly converted into the ability to receive orders during the peak season.
The application of energy efficiency optimization modules allows flexibility and sustainability to produce a chemical reaction. In the dairy workshop that runs day and night, the equipment will automatically adjust the heat sealing temperature according to the ambient temperature and humidity. This intelligent temperature control system reduces the power consumption by 1.8 degrees per 10,000 products. What is more noteworthy is the change brought about by data-driven operation and maintenance. The equipment manufacturer remotely monitored the abnormal die-cutting loss of a special-shaped box packaging and actively pushed the tool angle optimization solution to avoid the potential waste of three tons of packaging materials.
