When it comes to applying smart technologies for Industry 4.0 or industrial Internet of Things applications, the focus often revolves around analytic insights to improve management decision-making. And while this is true, it often overlooks the benefits these advanced technologies provide to core operations such as packaging.

To demonstrate the benefits of these technologies in packaging applications, A-B-C Packaging Machine Corp. (Booth N-5306) is showing how its next generation smart technology brings improved production, greater control, simplified maintenance, and total connectivity to the packaging line at PACK EXPO International. Key capabilities delivered by A-B-C’s smart technology include:

  • Integration with plant automation systems;
  • Remote I/O link access via VPN (virtual private network);
  • Product selection and configuration at the HMI (human-machine interface);
  • Real-time production data, plus historical data for trend analyses; and 
  • The ability to access data from equipment components and sensors.
