Integrated Packaging Systems
Automation. Packaging. Modeling.
All Disciplines Under One Roof.
Packaging solutions are as varied as the products on a supermarket shelf, and they’re always evolving. You need a system integrator who has worked with it all. From baked to frozen/refrigerated, liquid to powder/dried, fresh to shelf-stable – we’ve handled, filled, and packaged every major category of food over the past 30+ years.
But we don’t just have packaging engineers. Our in-house team includes everything necessary for turnkey execution: building, process, mechanical, electrical, controls and automation, construction, and CQV.
Unbiased System Integration.
We are equipment and vendor neutral, which means we provide a non-biased assessment for our clients, integrating the right solutions for the right price.
Simulation & Emulation Modeling
To plan a new production line or modify an existing one, you must first answer many questions: What will this line produce? How fast will it run? What line efficiency can I expect? How will this equipment fit within my space? What happens to the line during backup condition and how long will it take to recover? Where should buffers be placed to be most effective? What happens if I introduce a new product on an existing line? All these questions and more can be addressed using various modeling tools.
Emulation modeling allows you to connect the PLC tags to the HMI and see real-time results in the model. Test SKUs and formats, train operators, and complete a Factory Acceptance Test for the controls systems all prior to installation. Answering your questions proactively with modeling and reducing start-up time can give you more capacity, faster.
