Efficiency Concerns? Meet Innovative Machinery

Rick Leonhard

packaging-facility-machinery.jpgRegardless of the packaging industry you're operating in, one of your primary concerns is and will always be efficiency. This is especially true in the world of contract packaging, where improving site efficiency was recently reported by Life Sciences Logistics as THE primary concern of decision makers. Thanks to the breakneck rate at which technology continues to advance, innovative machinery has quickly become the most important tool in terms of both increasing operational efficiency and increasing revenue at the exact same time.

An Up-Hill Battle?

Increasing efficiency is often easier said than done, as any experienced contract packaging professional will tell you. It's relatively easy to lay out production efficiency improvement projects on paper, but to bring the concept to full completion on the production floor requires detailed planning, outside expertise, and the participation of a cross-functional team comprised of key individuals from all company departments. When it comes down to deciding how to increase production efficiency, the issue can be evaluated from many angles. Assessing your current packaging equipment is a great place to start.

How Does Innovative Machinery Help?

Premade_Pouch_Machine_Quad.pngOne of the challenges inherent to using existing packaging machinery in the modern environment is that the equipment of yesterday wasn't built to keep up with today's more demanding workflow. New and innovative machinery, on the other hand, is built from the ground up with the latest production technologies and processes in mind. When integrated with filling equipment, X-Ray machines, conveyors, case-packers, and other ancillary equipment, packaging machinery becomes so much more: An efficient packaging solution that will revolutionize your production.

Viking Masek's innovative machinery, including our new Rotary Premade Pouch Machine, was recently featured on Innovations With Ed Begley Jr. on the Discovery Channel, in an episode featuring companies on the cutting edge of technology. Check out our Innovations segment to see how automated packaging equipment increases production efficiency in many different industries, with a focus on dairy packaging at one of our end user's cheese factories.
