Most people buy packaging equipment to reduce their production costs. Many decide to replace manual operations with automatic equipment, but often forget to consider some of the aspects of such a change within their company.

When changing from manual to automatic operations, people often forget about the preventive maintenance required for automatic equipment. Such maintenance is usually more complicated and requires trained maintenance personnel. Sometimes, the maintenance team has not been made ready for such a change (manpower and skill level), which can result in lost production. |

Another aspect that is often forgotten is the fact that automatic equipment is less forgiving of bag quality and film composition than manual operations. With fully automatic packaging machinery, the quality of the film or the pre-made bags must be much more consistent. |

The operators' training is something that is often underestimate when buying a new piece of equipment, especially when changing from manual to automatic equipment. With all the new technologies available on packaging machinery nowadays, operators must be properly trained and have a good understanding of the equipment and the technology involved. As well, plant managers should keep in mind that implementing new packaging equipment always involves a learning process for their teams, and strategic training helps reduce the time devoted to this process. |
