Design to Production: Real-World Automation for a New Manufacturing Reality
In Designed for Production: Real-World Automation for a New Manufacturing Reality, Harpak-ULMA Automation Application Engineer Spencer Thomas and Marketing Director Josh Allen explore how automation is reshaping modern manufacturing. Presented on the prestigious Innovation Stage at Pack Expo 2025, the session goes beyond individual machines to show why the greatest gains come from designing production as a fully connected system; from concept through finished package.
Drawing on real-world examples, Thomas explains how aligning packaging design with automation, simplifying changeovers, and focusing investment on high-throughput SKUs can improve flexibility, efficiency, and overall equipment effectiveness (OEE). This presentation offers practical guidance for producers looking to scale smarter, reduce downtime, and build automation strategies that deliver long-term value.
