Frequently Asked Questions

What are packaging automation solutions?

Packaging automation solutions use machinery and automated systems to perform repetitive steps in the packaging process with less manual labor. Depending on the operation, automated packaging solutions can include equipment for feeding, document handling, labeling, sealing, weighing, dimensioning, conveyance, and sortation.

What are the key components of an automated packaging system?

An automated packaging system can include a range of packaging equipment depending on the products, packaging requirements, and production volume. Common components include case erectors and sealers, document handling equipment, feeders, labelers, weighing and dimensioning systems, conveyors, sortation equipment, and software controls that coordinate the automated packaging line.

What are the benefits of packaging automation?

Packaging automation can reduce repetitive manual tasks, increase throughput, and improve consistency across the packing process. Automating high-volume packaging operations can also help companies make better use of labor, reduce handling errors, and improve overall efficiency.

How do I choose the right packaging equipment for my operations?

The right packaging equipment depends on your products, packaging formats, throughput requirements, available space, and the specific processes you want to automate. PSI can help identify where automation can have the greatest operational impact, whether you need a single machine, several pieces of integrated equipment, or a complete automated packaging system.

Can packaging automation equipment integrate with my existing production machinery?

Yes. Packaging automation equipment can be integrated with existing machinery, conveyors, controls, and warehouse systems to create a connected packaging line. PSI works with your existing equipment and processes to determine where new automated equipment can be added without requiring you to replace machinery that is already performing effectively.
