The fourth industrial revolution is changing the way snacks are made from reactive, separate processes into proactive, linked ecosystems. For food makers, Industry 4.0 means a big change from "running blind" to making decisions based on data that improve every part of the production process.
In today's competitive snack manufacturing industry, using Industry 4.0 technology is necessary to keep operations running smoothly and stay competitive in the market. Smart Weigh's whole range of weighing and packaging solutions is a big step ahead in automated manufacturing technology. They make equipment more efficient, accurate, and overall effective.
Traditional weighing methods have trouble with the special problems that the snack food business faces. Not only is advanced technology good, it's necessary for competitive manufacturing.
Product Variety Problems (Chips, Nuts, Candies, and Crackers)
Different types of snacks need different ways of weighing and packing, and many companies make more than one type of food on the same line. You have to be careful with potato chips so they don't break, and you have to be exact with nuts since they are so expensive. In warm settings, candies can stick to surfaces, and crackers come in different sizes and shapes, which can affect how well the weigher works.
Smart Weigh's innovative technologies keep track of product-specific profiles that immediately modify all settings when the product changes. The system keeps track of the fact that kettle chips need a gentler vibration, a slower discharge rate, and different combination algorithms than peanuts. Product recognition technology can even find things on its own, which gets rid of mistakes that people make while choosing products that hurt quality.
The problem also affects seasonal items and limited editions. A company might only make pumpkin spice nuts for three months out of the year. Operators of traditional systems have to relearn the best settings every season, which can waste a lot of time during setup. Advanced systems keep historical data and can quickly recall the best settings from past production runs.
Requirements for High-Speed Production
Modern snack production needs speeds that are too fast for standard packing machine to handle. In snack applications, a typical multihead weigher vffs could need to run 60-80 packs each minute while keeping the same level of accuracy.
Smart Weigh's snack packing line can work quickly, speed up 600 packs/min, because the machine has advanced controls, efficient algorithms, and precise manufacture. The systems stay accurate even at their highest speeds because to smart combination selection and the ability to make adjustments in real time. The advanced vibration dampening and structural design stop the accuracy loss that happens with earlier systems when the speed changes.
The modern snack food sector needs packaging solutions that work really well and can be used in a variety of ways. Smart Weigh offers custom Industry 4.0 solutions that boost efficiency, quality, and profits, whether you're working in a small locati0n or running a huge production facility.
Today's snack makers have to deal with very different business realities. Facilities with limited space need to be able to produce a lot of goods in a small area, whereas large-scale producers need to be able to handle a lot of throughput across several product lines at the same time.
Smart Weigh has two specific solutions to deal with these unique problems: our small 20-head dual VFFS system for high-volume manufacturing that doesn't take up much space, and our full multi-line systems for large operations that need the most capacity and flexibility.
Both options use Smart Weigh's Industry 4.0 technology to provide smart automation, predictive maintenance, and real-time optimization. This makes sure that your facility runs at its best, no matter how big or small it is or how much it needs to produce.
For manufacturers facing space constraints but demanding maximum production output, Smart Weigh's 20-head dual VFFS system delivers exceptional throughput in a compact footprint.
