6 Reasons to automate your packaging chain
The era of Industry 4.0 has arrived and in the packaging sector, the demand for automation in manufacturing and production processes is increasing. In recent years, an increasing number of industrial companies have implemented automatic packaging machines in their production.
Competition in the sectors, customer demands and manual costs are the main reasons for automating these processes, thus achieving high production while reducing costs, both in terms of time and labour without added value.
At YM Packaging we design and manufacture automatic packaging machinery according to the needs of our customers. We have a wide range of packaging machines to adapt the packaging line to the production process of each customer.
Here are six reasons why you should implement our automatic packaging machines in your production process.
What is industrial automation?
Industrial automation is the monitoring and control of a machine through the use of technologies such as sensors, software, etc. The aim of industrial automation is to be more efficient by increasing productivity, reducing costs and improving production.
1) They reduce the error rate in production.
Our automatic packaging system reduces the error rate in product packaging due to the high precision of our machines. In fact, they incorporate different safety elements that allow to control the situation of the product at all times.
2) They increase efficiency in the industrial process.
Our automatic packaging machines improve efficiency in the production process by increasing production speed, optimising raw material utilisation, increasing production flexibility, and increasing workplace safety.
3) They improve the quality of the product.
Our automatic packaging machines improve product quality by their high precision which reduces errors in the product packaging process. They eliminate human error through monitored controls, which make it easier to detect and solve production problems.
4) Increases profitability.
The implementation of automatic machinery in the production process improves the economic profitability of the production process because it increases production efficiency by producing faster, more accurately and consistently, and by reducing errors and product defects.
5) They reduce costs.
The implementation of automatic machinery in the production process reduces the costs of raw materials: our weighing machines use the right amount of product without losing quality; and of labour.
6) They increase job security.
By automating the production process, accidents at work are reduced because the machines take care of the most dangerous jobs such as carrying heavy weights, working at high temperatures, working with toxic substances, etc.
