SIKO format adjustment – Your path to Industry 4.0

Packaging system with positioning systems

Flexible production processes in the blink of an eye or at the touch of a button. The demands on the flexibility of modern production systems are constantly increasing. With a wide variety of products and ever smaller batch sizes, the focus is shifting to optimum system availability. Consequently, short setup times are a standard requirement for production and packaging machines.

For which industry are you looking for ways to optimize format changes?

Positioning systems for packaging technology

Diverse products require equally diverse packaging. In packaging technology, products are protected by different wrappings and made transportable with the final packaging. Due to different packaging sizes and formats, packaging machines and labeling equipment must be flexibly converted. The format changeover is an essential component here, which must be implemented quickly and reliably in the process.
