Nestlé to describe how it wants packaging machines programmed

If optimizing manufacturing operations is anywhere on your list of things to do, be sure to attend the sixth Packaging Automation Forum April 26 in Chicago.

Sponsored by Packaging World and sister publication Automation World, this unique event features peer-to-peer education about how to increase productivity, flexibility, and performance using state-of-the-art packaging controls and information technology.

Professionals from Nestlé, Frito-Lay, Kraft, Rich Products, and other leading companies will be presenting at this year's event to demonstrate how emerging technologies are optimizing manufacturing and packaging operations. Nestle's Bryan Griffen, electrical and automation engineering group manager who is based at Nestle headquarters in Vevey, Switzerland, is sure to command the attention of the audience at this event. He'll be describing a significant change in focus now underway at the world's largest food and beverage company wherein packaging line efficiency is being carefully examined to see how it might make a better and more consistent contribution to the bottom line. Right in the middle of this entire initiative is PackML, or, as it is more officially known, the ISA-TR88.00.02 PackML Standard.
