Automate Packaging : Your Top 10 reasons
The need to automate packaging activities is driven by the expanding requirement for business-critical efficiency, precision, and speed in packaging operations.
Automated packaging processes refer to the use of machines and software to automate the packaging of products. Processes can help to increase efficiency, reduce labor costs, and improve the accuracy and consistency of packaging.
Below we outline the top ten reasons why automating your packaging process is the investment your business needs
1. Accuracy, Speed and Efficiency
One of the factors that must be taken into account during the entire production process is reaching the highest degree of output rate that eliminates the irregularities and deteriorating quality encountered during manual packaging. Consistent quality, improved aesthetics, and a speedier turnaround are all provided by automated packing.
2.The importance of safety
It is essential for every business to have a keen awareness of the security of its employees and to set up a system and atmosphere that minimizes danger. Workers may have an increased risk of injury due to repetitive actions and handling of large objects. By automating your process, you may free up your employee to work on more complex projects while minimizing the risk of harm, which can occasionally be deadly, time loss, and needed compensation for injured parties.
3. Increased standardization and quality control
When workers are conducting repetitive tasks, such as those encountered in the packaging process, there is an increase in the potential to have human errors on the end product. Manual operations could lead to mismatching and damaged packaging. By reducing manufacturing irregularities during the packing process, automated methods produce a uniform product.
4. No downtime
It is no secret that we want to maximize our time utilization in order to provide the highest monetary output feasibly. Automatic packing equipment does not require a specific break throughout the day however when it does require maintenance, it can be planned for a time when it won’t impact daily operations.
5. Expansion
Not only can improvements in your process maximize your existing output, it may also take into consideration any future expansion that the firm may desire. Systems can be created to allow for this growth potential.
6. Consistency
Due to human variability and everyday irregularities that are impossible to predict due to human mistakes, manual operation is dependent on the aptitude, longevity, and vigor of its workers. Automatic packaging systems are set up such that output consistency can be relied upon every day, preventing operations from being impacted by shifts in productivity.
7. Greater sustainability
It is our duty as responsible members of society to consider the environmental impact of our operations. By automating your packing process to make fills and cuts more precise, you may drastically reduce the waste that occurs during human procedures, such as overfilling bags, destroying bags, and unnecessary material use.
8. Keeping it simple
Because packing is repetitive, an automated process works wonderfully and is the ultimate solution in operations that do not require too much human interference.
9. Efficiency is product changeover
In your operation, there may be more than one product to package. In a manual run operation, the changeover process could take up to several hours. With automation, an efficient changeover is guaranteed, allowing for greater flexibility and straightforward re-programming, resulting in the quickest changeover possible.
10. It is an investment
While putting in a new system may seem like a daunting endeavour for your bottom line however with efficient planning and the right automation partners that will quickly be paid back in terms of labour savings, output growth, and general efficiency.
HOW SPG TECH DOES THIS?
SPG Tech typically starts by analyzing its existing processes and identifying areas where automation can improve efficiency and reduce costs. We then select the appropriate machines and software to robotize processes and integrate them into their existing systems.
Once the processes are in place, businesses can benefit from faster packaging times, increased accuracy and consistency, reduced labor costs, and improved product quality. Additionally, this can help businesses to meet regulatory requirements, such as those related to food safety and labeling.
