Automated Lines

The term ‘automated lines’ is common in manufacturing and packaging sectors. It refers to a machine or series of interconnected machines that form a production line operating with minimal human intervention. Businesses working in food and hygienic sectors often have automated lines to streamline compliance with regulatory control.

Automated lines accelerate and streamline packaging processes such as carton erecting and product placement, sealing and labelling. This helps to create consistency and increase production speeds.

The benefits of automation on a packaging line

Automation can bring a range of benefits to a packaging line:

• Increased speed and output
• Reduced human intervention
• Enhanced safety and hygiene
• Accelerate distribution
• Reduce cost and resource reliance
• Streamlined compliance
• Consistency and packaging integrity
• Increased flexibility and scalability
• And more.

Automated packaging lines are fast becoming an integral part of a growing number of sectors. A significant investment for the long-term, automatic packaging machines can future proof lines and introduce scalability if tailored to suit the needs of the business.

How to implement automated lines

The implementation of automation on the production line is often not an off-the-shelf solution. A number of factors should be considered, ranging from available physical space and the connected resources to the workforce, operational processes and the packaged goods themselves. 

Highly customisable, our machines can form the entire line or can be designed to integrate with existing automated lines. This can be beneficial for small-to-medium-sized manufacturers needing to enhance operations. Find out more about how this worked for a client in Asia in our case study here.
