Automated Packaging Opens New Competitive Advantage for Businesses

Automation: Set to be a game changer in the industry

Benefits of Packaging Automation

1. Improved Production Speed

   With the right automation packaging solution in place, it’s possible for companies to significantly improve production speed and product throughput. It’s not unusual for an automatic carton erector machine, for example, to box opening much more properly and several times faster than the average employee. Automatic packaging solutions can also multitask and fold multiple steps of the packaging process like sealing and labeling, into one single step. In additional, automated machines often require less maintenance and downtime for repairs, meaning that they can run for longer periods of time without interruption. As a result, automated packaging process can help to boost your business’s productivity and profitability.

2. Reduced Labor Costs

   Right now, consumer demand continuing to rise, packaging companies are beginning to feel the effects of a competitive labor market. Workers have more options for employment, driving up wages and ultimately higher labor costs. Automation is one of the possible solutions to this problem. By automating as many packaging lines as possible, companies do not need to hire as many workers, but only when needed. Additionally, automated packaging is generally more reliable than manual packaging, which means you'll encounter fewer errors that can cause production delays.

3. Improvement In Quality Control

   Automated packaging can help companies improve quality control for your business in a number of ways. For example: Automated machines can be set to apply consistent pressure when sealing products, ensuring that each package is sealed properly. Automated packaging systems include sensors that detect the correct size and shape of the product before it is packaged. This helps to reduce the risk of mistakes and product damaged. Automated packaging systems have precise, standardized settings that help improve product quality, cycles time and operations in general.

4. Improved Safety

   Another key benefit of automated packaging processes is improved safety. There is always a risk of injury to workers performing tasks that involve repetitive movements to lifting, pulling and pushing heavy objects. Packaging automation reduces the necessity for this type of work, meaning that it also reduces the risk of worker injury. Not only you protect your team members, but you can also allow them to focus on less strenuous and more enjoyable workplace.
