What if your food processing plant ran with the same performance qualities you expect to find in a high-precision watch? Your fine timepiece runs at a stable rate, day in and day out. You can count on it keeping time and being there for you when you need it. It performs exactly as you expect, no surprises, no flaws. It’s precise, predictable and reliable.

Now, imagine these attributes apply to your business. Your current operational challenges aren’t challenges anymore, and your plant is humming along efficiently and sustainably. Employees are productive and fulfilled, and you have the right people in the right positions, all the time.

Furthermore, you have all the data you need, where you need it and when you need it. If there is an equipment issue, the issue is diagnosed quickly and repaired cost-effectively, thanks to remote diagnostics and your access to the experts who provide insights and solutions. Potential issues are identified and solved before they have the chance to become problems. Bottom line is, your business runs like a well-oiled machine, predictably and immune to the chaos of influences beyond your control.

Sounds a little like an alternate reality, doesn’t it? But it’s all possible with touchless automation.

Touchless automation systems already are revolutionizing the way businesses operate, bringing things back into order, providing predictability and efficiency. An automated environment provides the ability to maximize safety, increase worker satisfaction, minimize waste, protect goods and deliver productivity savings. In other words, machine intelligence optimizes performance and create the highest levels of productivity, while ensuring the most profitable outcome.

For meat processors who are striving to bring predictability back to their business, the future of their business may rely heavily on how they incorporate automation into their operations.

While automation may bring to mind thoughts of faster machines and fewer people on the line, it’s about much, much more.

Automation is about a commitment to a successful future, one that promotes the optimization of your labor force, the power of connectivity and better insights, and the predictability that comes from a totally integrated solution.

Let’s take a closer look into this solution for success:

Think about automation as a commitment to a better tomorrow, and a commitment to your business.

Investing in automation, Internet of things (IoT), artificial intelligence and other advanced technologies can help you make smarter, faster and more proactive decisions about your operations to help maximize labor efficiency and productivity while minimizing downtime and reducing total operating costs.

And remember that automation goes beyond packaging to include the entire production process. Automated solutions such as automated cartoning systems, infeeds, conveyors, shrink wrappers and shrink tunnels are designed to dramatically shorten the packaging process by automating repetitive tasks such as lifting, turning, loading and sealing.

For the right solution you’ll want to consider the total system, the scale of operation and the range of complexity. From setup to post-installation to maintenance, automation requires a multifaceted approach. It’s not a one-size fits all endeavor.

Automation can change the way the industry operates by changing how we address and respond to challenges. Touchless automated solutions are designed to bring consistency and predictability back to businesses and control back to our customers.

With packaging automation, we can reduce chaos and find the way forward to a better and more predictable future.
