After more than 20 years of development, China's packaging machinery has become one of the top 10 industries in the machinery industry, both output and output value, have made remarkable achievements.
According to the Market Research and Development Prospect Analysis Report of China Packaging Machinery Servo System Industry, from January to December 2011, the total sales revenue of packaging special equipment manufacturing industry reached 23.2141 billion yuan, with a year-on-year growth of 27.39%, higher than the average industrial level.
The industry sales growth rate is relatively fast in 2011.
From January to September 2012, the total sales revenue of packaging special equipment manufacturing industry reached 17.944.5 billion yuan, with a year-on-year growth of 15.17%, higher than the average industrial level.
From January to December 2012, the total output of special packaging equipment in China was 86,926, an increase of 14.47% over the same period of last year.
China has become the world's largest producer and exporter of goods. At the same time, the world's attention is also focused on the fastest growing, largest and most promising Chinese packaging market.
Although the domestic packaging machinery market has a broad prospect, but such problems as single machine automation, poor stability and reliability, ugly appearance, short life and so on also make domestic packaging machinery products criticized.
Safety detection technology: safety is the first key word in any industry, especially in the packaging industry.
In the food industry, safety testing technology is developing rapidly.
Food safety in packaging machinery is not limited to the scope of simple physical parameters, but also to pay attention to the color of food, raw materials and other factors.
The application range of packaging machinery is expanding, which constantly puts forward new requirements for machinery manufacturers and automation product suppliers.
Motion control technology: the development of motion control technology in China is very rapid, but in the packaging machinery industry, the development momentum appears to be weak.
The function of motion control products and technologies in packaging machinery is mainly to meet the requirements of precise position control and strict speed synchronization, mainly used for loading and unloading, conveying, marking, stacking, unloading and other procedures.
Professor Li believes that motion control technology is one of the key factors to distinguish high, medium and low end packaging machinery, and is also the technical support for China's packaging machinery upgrade.
Flexible production: in order to adapt to the fierce competition in the market, the cycle of product upgrading becomes shorter and shorter.
It is understood that cosmetics production, generally can achieve a change of three years, or even a quarter of a change, and at the same time the production is relatively large, so the flexibility of the packaging machinery and flexibility put forward a very high demand: that is, the life of the packaging machinery is far greater than the product life cycle.
Because, only then can accord with the requirement of economy of product production.
The concept of flexibility should be considered from three aspects: flexibility of quantity, flexibility of construction and flexibility of supply.
Manufacturing execution systems: In recent years, integrated technology has been developing rapidly in the packaging industry.
There are many kinds of packaging machinery equipment, which makes the product interface docking of different manufacturers, the transmission mode between equipment and INDUSTRIAL computer, information and equipment meet great difficulties.
In this case, packaging companies turn to manufacturing execution systems (MES) for solutions.
