Packaging industry how to adopt the latest emerging technologies(2)
The packaging and printing process faces many challenges, including accuracy, low color quality and high labor costs. This provides an opportunity for digital printing process innovation, making it one of the top trends in the packaging industry. Unlike traditional offset printing or flexo printing technology, it does not require the use of a separate plate for different prints. All contents are printed once by digital printing, thus reducing the workload. Modern digital printing has limited environmental impact because it eliminates the need for prepress or additional labelling and reduces waste and inventory requirements. Digital printing has shorter turnaround time and greater flexibility, and can customize packaging for brands to meet different consumer groups. Direct thermal printing is another printing technology that uses thermal imaging to print labels and flexible packaging without the use of ink.
The main challenges associated with packaging are productivity, precision and quality control. The automation of packaging processes such as demoulding, filling, packaging and palletizing is a major trend in the packaging industry. Packaging automation using robotic arms and fixtures not only eliminates human error, but also ensures the safe handling of delicate products. Finally, the start-up has also developed an artificial intelligence-driven vision system that can take photos of finished products to analyze packaging quality. These vision-assisted robots can automate processes such as product classification, quality control, and inspection to improve overall efficiency.
