Nbspthe New Era In Packaging Technologypackaging Valley Germany Heralds The Start Of Industry 40 Ldquothe Importance Of Packaging And Packaging Systems Technology In Connection With Industry 40 Is Gaining Ever More Significancerdquo At The 2nd Packaging Valley Days Prof Dr Wolfgang Wahlster Leading Expert In Artificial Intelligence Was Convinced That Industry 40 Is No Longer Just A Vision Those Taking Part From The Packaging Sector Confirmed This The Congress Of Specialists In The Cluster Packaging Valley Germany Ev In Schwaumlbisch Hall Was Attended On 10th And 11th April By Around 250 Visitors From 20 Countriesindustry 40 Is Currently In The Limelight Of Current Media For The Industrial World Specializing In Hitech The Reason For This Of Which Prof Wahlster German Research Center For Artificial Intelligence Saarbruumlcken Is Convinced Is That The Current Working Environment Is Undergoing Fundamental Changes Emerging Products Or Packaging In Which Processes Information Is Recorded From The Beginning Right Through To Transport Has An Enormous Impact On The Whole Of The Working Environment Machines Are Programmed For New Tasks The Workforce Goes To New Different Factoriesprof Wahlster Nbspreports On The Phenomenon Of Ldquomass Customizationrdquo The Example Of The Automobile Industry Shows That Today No Two Vehicles Are Identical Not Only In Appearance But Also Technically Improvements In Components And Software Are Being Continually Introduced Today Even Mass Wares Such As Training Shoes Muesli Or Chocolate Beans Are Available In Production Runs Of A Single Unit In The Words Of Prof Wahlster Ldquoindustry 40 Offers The Tools Of Implementation With Practically No Additional Costsrdquo Individualization Is Becoming More And More The Norm Products Which Are Customized To Personal Requirements Will Soon No Longer Be Regarded As Exclusivethe Internet Of All Things Ndash Machines In The Netwhen Semantic Product Memories Are Fed With Position And Temperature Information From Sensors Optical Or Other Sensors Are An Essential Factor For The Functioning Of The Socalled Smartfactory Xmlbased Web Servers The Size Of A Sugar Cube With Radiocontrol Shytechnology And The Replacement Of The Many Different Field Bus Systems By Tcp Protocols Allow Interaction Between Machines The Product And The Packaging Nowadays As Nbspsensors Are Not Costly And Are Available With W3c World Wide Web Consortium Standards According To Prof Wahlster The Way Is Open For The Ldquoserviceoriented Cyberphysicalrdquo Production System These Are Automated Interacting Systems Which Function Context Dependent The Ambient Machine Transport And Robot Park Is Therefore A Ldquoservice Offerrdquo Which Is Called Up And Utilized By The Product For Example Should There Be A Holdup In Processing At A Certain Point The Product Itself Looks For A Better Alternative Another Example Especially Lowenergy Production Methods Are Chosen For Ecological Productsprof Wahlster Went On To Illustrate That The Packaging Also Fulfills Additional Tasks The Scope Of Information Contained In Or On The Packaging Can Be Significantly Expanded Whereby The Whole Production Chain Becomes Transparent Nbspalso At Home The Packaging Can Be An Observer And Watchdog If For Example Light Sensitive Contents Have Been Exposed To Light For Too Long An Automatic Warning Can Be Sent To A Smartphonein The Subsequent Discussion Session The Subject Of A Filling And Packaging Line From Packaging Valley Germany Which To A Great Extent Already Operates According To These Principles Came Up With This Line Perfumes Are Packaged At A High Output Rates For A Run Of One Unit Customers Create A Personalized Perfume By Selecting A Mix Of Fragrances And Choose The Flacon And The Wording On It

Personalized Medicine Was Acknowledged As A Future Scenario Which Could Benefit Enormously From The Technical Implementation Of Industry 40plasma Service And Open Doorsother Interesting Technologies Presented Were For Example Surface Treatment With Plasma Technology For Sterilization Through To Improved Adhesionnbsp New Requirements Technologies And Potential In Service In Machine Engineering Were Discussed On The Second Day Of The Congress The Companies Of Packaging Valley Germany Opened Their Doors And Demonstrated Their Latest Machine Concepts From Particlefree Transport Systems And Blowfillseal Through To The Tremendous Precision Of Filler Units In Combination With Flexible Robot Technologies Several Shuttle Buses Ferried The 250 Visitors Around Packaging Valleythe Organizers

Nbsppackaging Line Improvements Keep Craft Brewer Focused On The Futuregoal Of Increasing Throughput While Eliminating Packaging Breakageafter Experiencing A Higher Than Desirable Level Of Bottle Breakage With Repurposed Packaging Equipment Midwestern Stalwart Boulevard Brewing Company Approached Standardknapp To Create A Solution To Meet Its Nontraditional Packaging Demands Which Include Four Different Bottle Types Multiple Packaging Sizes And No Carton Dividers The Packaging Company Responded With An Innovative Solution That Picks The Product From The Infeed Conveyor And Gently Places It Into The Bottom Of The Empty Case The Company Now Reports Virtually Zero Packaging Breakage And Has Increased Throughput By About 10 Percent Because Of Increased Efficiency And Less Down Timeboulevard Breweryrsquos Growth Fuels Facility Expansionkansas City Mobased Boulevard Brewing Company Is The 10th Largest Craft And 17th Largest Overall Brewery In The Us Boulevard It Currently Offers Seven

With Growth Like That Itrsquos Not Surprising That The Brewery Reached Capacity In 2005 Boulevard Broke Ground On A 70000 Square Foot Expansion And Now Has A Total Brewing Capacity Of 600000 Bblsalong With The New Facility Boulevard Needed To Invest In A Packaging Line That Could Keep Up With Its Phenomenal Growth As Boulevard Director Of Engineering Mike Utz Explains Boulevard Began Working On A Highspeed Packaging Line In 2008 After The Facility Expansion Was Completed Ldquowe Opted To Go With Repurposed And Reconditioned Equipment For The New Line Which Included A Drop Packerrdquo Boulevard Eventually Selected Used Equipment From Standardknapp A Portland Ctbased Manufacturer Of Packaging Machineryboulevard Had The Unit A 939s Versatron Rebuilt And Converted To Its Product Range Herersquos Where Things Got Tricky While The Equipment Met Boulevardrsquos Need For Speed It Came With A Price Ndash A High Bottle Breakage Rate During Packaging That Was Exacerbated By The Lighter Weight Bottles That Are Becoming The Industry Norm According To Utz The Trend Towards Use Of Light Weight Glass Bottles Saves On Money And Materials But Makes The Bottles Weaker And Less Able To Stand Up To Rugged Drop Packing Also The Company Uses Dividerless Packaging For A Number Of Package Sizes 6 12 And 20 Packs So The Packer Had To Hit Perfectly Because There Were No Separatorsaccording To Utz Ldquowe Wanted To Stick With The Traditional Packaging That Was Part Of Our Image But The Glass On Glass Packaging Led To An Unacceptable Breakage Raterdquonew Picnplace Packaging Module Virtually

Work Well For Dealing With The Trend Toward Lighter Glass And Partitionless Packaging Stearns Explains That The Industry Is Moving In The Direction Of Reducing Packaging Materials So Everyone Is Going Towards Thinner Glass And Partitionless Cartons Ldquoyou Need Extremely Versatile Equipment To Be Able To Handle All Those Different Bottle Types And Do It All At High Speedsrdquo Installing The New
