PackagingWith today's packaging machines demanding faster throughput, increased flexibility and, in many cases, 100% on-the-fly product inspection, Omron's automation and sensing product portfolio provides the solutions to realise these challenges. Thank's to Omron's "Smart Platform" concept, seamless integration of all components is guaranteed, resulting in improved machine flexibility, reduced product changeover times and greatly simplified diagnostics and maintenance, extending to complete remote access solutions.

Whilst Omron is already trusted by many packaging machine manufacturers to provide their complete automation solution needs, we are always keen to learn more. We wanted to speak directly to the machine builders, and so commissioned a project that would provide feedback on numerous aspects of their business:
|
- Current operations
- Machine complexity
- Design trends
- Post installation services
- Global business challenges
- R&D priorities
- Sourcing and supply issues
|
|
The responses represented a wide cross-section of the packaging industry, highlighted three common themes:
|
- Making machines more flexible and making the changeover between products easier and faster
- Providing remote programming and machine diagnostics
- Embedding inspection systems within the machine
