In this edition of Packaging Technology Today, author Michael Terry, Content Developer at Harpak-ULMA, examines how flexible packaging automation helps manufacturers address labor shortages, SKU proliferation, and rising production demands. Terry emphasizes designing integrated systems around each operation’s throughput, packaging formats, floor space, and scalability goals. He explains how robotics, Vision Inspection, secondary packaging, palletizing, and centralized controls can synchronize product flow, reduce bottlenecks, simplify changeovers, and create more resilient, efficient, and future-ready packaging operations.
