OUR PRESENTATION
Maximizing Packaging Efficiency: Intelligent Automation and Smart Upgrades
This presentation addresses the critical decision-making process manufacturers face when optimising their new and existing packaging operations. We’ll explore intelligent automation strategies, including data-driven technologies, CARICATECH™ automatic truck loading systems, and POLIMAT® palletizing solutions, all designed to deliver energy-efficient, streamlined dispatch and loading operations. And, for those operating older lines, we'll highlight how smart kit technologies and targeted upgrades can revitalise existing installations at a fraction of replacement costs. Join us to discover proven strategies – and real-world examples – for maximising operational potential, increasing energy efficiency, and navigating the upgrade-versus-replace dilemma.
