Automated Production Today, automated production is essential. Neither volume nor product consistency can be achieved in any other way. Increasing production in a cost-effective manner is a difficult and complex undertaking. The project engineer overseeing such a project must have strong support from management, production, maintenance, and vendors. Delays, errors, and higher costs will result if this support is not totally integrated, with all concerned playing an active role

Automated Production Increasing Production Four options to increase production are: Buy new state-of-the-art equipment. Do something with existing equipment. Buy refurbished equipment. Hire a contract packager. Factors that will influence this choice are as follows: Availability of in-plant equipment Market demand for the product

The New Production Line The Packaging Machine Industry Packaging machinery manufacture is a highly specialized business that does not produce large numbers of identical machines. Products and packages come in such an infinite variety of materials and forms that even though a company may specialize in a particular machine class. In this respect, packaging machinery is a custom business

The New Production Line Given that a complete packaging line may consist of six functional stations from six suppliers, connected by conveyors and buffers made by still another supplier, it is not likely that a new line can be plugged in and work instantly and perfectly. New lines have to be debugged and brought up to operating speed. Good production engineers can usually coax a bit more speed out of a line given time and experience with the process

The New Production Line General Considerations Broad decisions as to machine class need to be made early and are usually obvious. For example: Will it be a dedicated machine or will it need interchangeable parts? Are particular standards of cleanliness and sterility necessary? Are active chemicals needing special corrosion protection procedures a factor? Should the machine flow be from left to right or right to left?

The New Production Line When examining candidate machines, remember that good packaging lines accomplish their objective with a minimum of vibration and noise. The transfer and flow of product and material through the production process should be smooth, with the minimum of directional changes. Before calling on machine suppliers, make a thorough and critical analysis of what exactly needs to be accomplished

The New Production Line Be realistic in the range of tasks that your machine will be required to perform, and resist the temptation to compromise the main objective. The more dedicated a machine is, the more efficient it will be. Capital outlay for machines can be heavy. Effective servicing and parts supply is a key vendor issue
