Title: Cabinet-Free Machine Designs within Reach for Manufacturers
Description:
Session Description: Recent advancements in machine-mountable automation technology are changing how packaging OEMs approach control system design. Through a new machine concept developed for packaging operations, food and industrial product companies have a new pathway to minimize assembly and maintenance efforts, eliminate points of failure and simplify documentation. Abstract: Formerly a topic for the future of machine design, cabinet-free concepts are now becoming a reality on the plant floor. This approach holds significant potential for many industries, including food & beverage production and industrial goods. Rather than piecing together machine-mounted hardware for a few areas such as I/O blocks, drives and industrial PCs, new technologies have emerged to cover all aspects of automation and machine control. This permits modernized packaging machines to eliminate electrical cabinets, reduce lead time in assembly and generate other efficiencies for end users. This machine concept on display at the PACK EXPO International 2024 show floor offers new competitive advantages over traditional machines that rely on large enclosures to house all electrical equipment. This design simplifies commissioning and maintenance as it requires 87% fewer control system components to automate packaging for a range of food and industrial products.
