A new fourth generation of packaging machinery, possessing the attributes of the adaptive machine, is now entering the marketplace. With Gen4 comes long anticipated flexibility to solve the challenges of mass customization, e-commerce fulfillment, SKU proliferation, inventory costs and shorter product lifecycles, track-and-trace, and manufacturing productivity. Read more about the attributes of adaptive packing machines and the enabling technologies behind the movement here.

New systems, software and processes are replacing so-called islands of automation with seamless, automated manufacturing lines that boost overall equipment effectiveness (OEE) from 30 to 80% or more. Like a chess master, these systems think multiple moves ahead on the factory floor to ensure continuing production when circumstances change. These systems cut scrap, improve quality, improve throughput and—the pièce de résistance—open the door to extreme customization, a.k.a. “Order of One” and “Batch Size 1.” Read more here.

Consumers are willing to pay a premium for personalized products. At the same time, increasingly responsive production technology is making it possible to create them under mass production conditions without a corresponding increase in unit cost. For manufacturers, the resulting margin boost is an enticing prospect. B&R’s intelligent SuperTrak system is the reliable, industrial-grade material transport solution for flexible production.

With B&R's industrial transport system, it is now possible to transport liquids quickly with no spills. SuperTrak is the only system on the market to offer anti-sloshing technology. This technology suppresses the formation of oscillations on free surfaces to prevent liquids from spilling over container edges during transport. Watch anti-sloshing here.
