Generation 4 Machinery is Smart Smart Simple Simple Sophisticated Sophisticated Sturdy Sturdy Standard Standard
Gen 4 or Next Gen Equipment Emphasizes Quality Flexibility is Hallmark Appropriate Use of Technology Consultation Drives Sales, not Sales Situational analysis is Starting Point Maker Assumes Operational Responsibility Long Term/Extended Relationship Market/Customer Savvy High Speed/Low Cost/Labor Changeovers Build Globally/Support Locally
What Influences Next Gen Systems? Customers integrating the packaging process with all facets of production and distribution Technology control system standardization and integration, micro processors, monitors, etc. can: Reduce costs Change service and maintenance functions Increase system functionality and versatility Use of smart technologies like RFID and wireless machinery sensors will accelerate due to demands of packagers, retailers and consumers
Next Generation Packaging Line Advances Automation controls, motion, machine vision, robots are common Flexibility, speed decision Equipment assets will be regularly, opportunistically relocated Hyperconnectivity (with continuous verification of production and performance)
Further Next Gen Advances Increasing cooperation among users, materials, and equipment suppliers, including R+D Self contained clean production environment Equipment builders operate machines in the field Contract Packaging as an alternate Manufacturing/Service alliances
Next Gen Equipment Features Data loggers Controls Eliminating Muda Energy conservation RFID-enabled systems Digital collaboration Automation services Contract manufacturing Collaboration
Operational Technology Touch screen controls Servos (or not) Mechatronics Miniaturization Rapid changeover Modular assemblies Collaborative, customized design High strength polymers, composites
Market Changes Downsizing Outsourcing Supply Chain Alliances Mega Retailers Growth outside of NA Rising Security Concerns Tampering Terrorism CR

Printed Codes Aren t Dead but RFID is Alive RFID is still in its infancy with many technology, cost and privacy hurdles yet to be jumped. - BusinessWeek (August 31, 2004) That s not what Wal-Mart thinks
kicks RFID up a notch Texas DC, 7 stores started scanning in Jan 137 packagers meet first RFID tagging deadline Reading 98% of case tags at receiving docks 140 more WMs, 36 Sam s Clubs go live in Feb Scanning cases as they move to front of store Using RFID to replenish shelves, reduce out-of-stocks Geiger counter handhelds locate stock quickly Reports within 30 minutes of movement RFID scanning at 12 DCs, 600+ stores by next year
Basic Packaging Truth: A package that s not machineable is just origami.

Discover the Process at PACK EXPO A promise without a process is just wishful thinking. -- Thomas A. Edison
A Strategic Focus Packaging machinery must: Support product differentiation strategies Be more flexible, versatile and maintainable Fulfill requirements of power retailers, supply chain partners and government Occupy a minimal footprint
The factory of the future will have only two employees, a man and a dog. The man will be there to feed the dog. The dog will be there to keep the man from touching the equipment. --Warren G. Bennis Author
