As small to medium-sized companies looking to meet growth projections, a proven strategy often involves automating their packing process. These solutions involve either semi-automatic or fully-automatic case formers and sealers.

We’ve seen many innovations related to the service, production, packaging and distribution of food over the years. These changes all aim to protect public health and create a more efficient and sustainable food industry. The following are ways that one innovation, artificial intelligence (AI), is helping the food industry to achieve its goals.

The goal of secondary packaging is to ensure the integrity of a product during storage and transportation, making sure it reaches the hands of the user in the same state as it was made.

Computer Numerical Control (CNC) programming is the process used to create program instructions for computers to control machinery and tooling. CNC is utilized by manufacturers to create program instructions for computers to control a machine tool.

In this episode the topic is 3D printed blister tool prototyping and how it can be used to improve cannabis packaging.

2020 changed everything. As a result, many manufacturers found themselves playing at an entirely new ballpark, and needed to adjust fast.

CNC machining has all but eliminated human error, leading to higher-quality packaging and product shipment with fewer defects. Within the packaging industry, CNC machining has changed automation in four key ways.

As part of AI innovation, companies are using machines and algorithms to create smarter packaging solutions. The use of 3D printing is being used increasingly in industrial applications, and it's not only designers who will be impacted by these new technologies.
