Simple insights into problems encountered in the development of packaging machines

China has become the world's largest producer and exporter of commodities. At the same time, the world's attention is also focused on the fastest-growing, largest and most potential Chinese packaging market. Although the domestic packaging machinery market has a broad prospect, problems such as stand-alone automation, poor stability and reliability, unsightly appearance, and short life span have also caused domestic packaging machinery products to be criticized. Safety detection technology: Safety is the number one key word in any industry, especially in the packaging industry. The manifestation of food safety in packaging machinery is not only limited to the scope of simple physical parameters, but also pay attention to factors such as food color and raw materials. The scope of application of packaging machinery is expanding, which continuously puts forward new requirements for machinery manufacturers and automation product suppliers. Motion control technology: The development of motion control technology in China is very rapid, but the development momentum in the packaging machinery industry appears to be weak. The function of motion control products and technology in packaging machinery is mainly to achieve precise position control and strict speed synchronization requirements, which are mainly used for loading and unloading, conveying, marking, palletizing, depalletizing and other processes. Professor Li believes that motion control technology is one of the key factors that distinguishes high-end, mid- and low-end packaging machinery, and it is also the technical support for the upgrading of China's packaging machinery. Flexible production: In order to adapt to the fierce competition in the market, major companies have shorter and shorter product upgrade cycles. It is understood that the production of cosmetics can generally be changed every three years or even every quarter. At the same time, the production volume is relatively large. Therefore, the flexibility and flexibility of the packaging machinery are very high requirements: that is, the life of the packaging machinery is required. Much greater than the life cycle of the product. Because only in this way can it meet the requirements of product production economy. The concept of flexibility should be considered from three aspects: the flexibility of quantity, the flexibility of construction and the flexibility of supply. Manufacturing execution system: In recent years, integration technology has developed rapidly in the packaging industry. There are many types of packaging machinery and equipment, which makes the interface docking of different manufacturers' products, the transmission methods between equipment and industrial computers, and information and equipment encountered great difficulties. In this case, packaging companies turned to Manufacturing Execution System (MES) for solutions.
