Packaging automation applications: from primary to end‑of‑line packaging

Each stage of the packaging process - primary packaging, secondary packaging, and end‑of‑line packaging - requires dedicated automation solutions. Discover how our sensors and systems improve performance, reduce downtime, and increase OEE across your packaging line.

1. Primary packaging

Transparent object detection

Detect transparent packaging reliably at high speed to reduce downtime and ensure stable production.

Label detection

Improve label detection accuracy in high‑speed packaging to reduce scrap and increase OEE.

Filling process

Ensure precise container detection and fill levels to prevent losses and improve OEE.

2. Secondary packaging

Format change

Speed up format changeovers to reduce downtime and increase flexibility.

Control architecture

Improve efficiency with standardized machine connectivity and data-driven automation.

Object detection

Ensure reliable detection in cartoning and case packing to reduce errors and rejects.

3. End-of-line packaging

Data transmission

Stabilize end-of-line operations with scalable control and system integration.

Inspection and quality assurance
