High Efficiency. Low Cost.
Engineered Together into SEW’s Popular New DR Series.
Meets NEMA & IEC Standards: The DR
motor meets and exceeds international energy
standards and comes in two efficiency levels:
DRE High Efficiency (IE2), and DRP Premium Efficiency
(IE3), which meets EISA 2007 and NR Can Energy
efficient standard (CSA C390). The DR motor meets
the specifications of NEMA MG1-2006 part 31.4.4.2,
regarding voltage spikes and IEC Design H standards.
Increased Power: SEW offers more compact
copper-rotor variants of the DRE and DRP
induction motors in addition to the traditional
aluminium-rotor motors-thereby reducing losses in
the rotor, and consequently allowing for increased
power within one frame size.
Export Friendly:
The DR Motor is available
in metric formats for
international export.
Fail-Safe Brake: DR Motors
offers an integrated mechanical
fail-safe brake that is applied
when a power failure occurs.
It is an electromagnetic, springloaded brake powered by DC
voltage via a rectifier. The
brake can also be released
mechanically with either an
automatic or manual brake
release.
Integrated Encoder:
The new built-in encoder is
fully integrated into the motor,
making it more compact and
less expensive. The encoder
is installed between the end
shield and the fan and is
connected at the terminal box,
so it can be easily retrofitted.
Versatile Mounting Options:
Now offering new mounting capabilities.
The motor can be foot-mounted and/or
flange-mounted with numerous throughhole or tapped-hole configurations. A
NEMA C flange is also available.
Three Brake Sizes: As a cost
saving feature DR Motors are available
with a choice of up to three different
brake sizes per motor size.
Washdown Resistant: Rated
up to IP66, the DR series can be
built to withstand the rigours of
harsh washdown environments.
They can be also supplied with a
forced cooling option.
SEW-Eurodrives’ DR Series of AC motors have been engineered from the ground up to meet
the motor demands of the 21st century for continuous or long-running drive applications: like
high efficiency performance that complies with international standards; a compact footprint that
saves space; a modular design that features a detachable foot design to provide the same excellent
braking performance but now in a stand-alone brakemotor configuration; and a simple, built-in
encoder that can be easily retrofitted. What’s more, these versatile motors are integratable into
SEW gearmotors, used as stand-alone motors or into decentralized control architectures.

S
o welcome to the much-anticipated 2012 dear reader—arguably the most
eagerly awaited calendar change since the arrival of Y2K or 1984, for the
more mature (and more literary) crowd amongst our midst.
Say what one may about the ancient Mayans’ morbid fascination with the
date, it’s been it’s been a pretty wild ride on many different levels so far, and
not all for the better. For some long-established iconic brands that many of us
grew up with—Kodak and Hostess quickly springing to mind—it’s already
been downright apocalyptic, once again proving the overriding importance of
embracing change before it squeezes the life out of you.
And nowhere is this truism more self-evident these days than in the global
packaging industry, where profound new technological and social trends (sustainability anyone?) are rapidly transforming the way today’s product packaging
is conceived, designed, manufactured, used and discarded, according to life-long
packaging industry insider Ben Miyares, packaging market trends analyst with
the Packaging Management Institute and a long-serving spokesman for the
venerable Packaging Machinery Manufacturers Institute (PMMI).
Speaking at the recently-held Machines NOW conference in Orlando (see more
on page 22), Miyares offered an insightful vision of what constitutes “effective”
packaging machinery capable of satisfying a multitude of new customer and
consumer requirements sprung up over the last several years.
According to Miyares, contemporary packaging equipment must be:
• Functional, robust and durable;
• Economical, meaning “not just the price, but in the context of the total cost
of ownership”;
• Conservative, in a sense of “conserving materials and energy to extend the
utility of the available resources”;
• Autonomous, “to the extent that they can operate without operators”;
• Self-conscious, as in being able to understand the material inputs and being
able to adjust on-the-fly to variances of different materials;
• Appropriately sophisticated. “You want a bottling line that a guy with a
wrench could fi x if necessary, not an electronics engineer.”;
• “Apromorphic, defi ned by Miyares as “having the ability to do more than
one thing, like fi lling both six and 16-ounce, different-shaped containers.”
Ultimately, Miyares summed up, “This all points to the development of packaging equipment that my grandmother could operate, with nonproprietary controls,
simplified/streamlined operations, automation software, onboard troubleshooting
cameras, dashboard operator interfaces, and increasingly automated changeover.”
Now that’s a future we could all get behind; how soon is now?

NOTHING HALF-BAKED ABOUT NEW PACKAGING
Having your fingers in many different pies
is nothing new for Canada’s highly diversified food processor Maple Leaf Foods
Inc., whose latest addition to its venerable
Tenderflake brand of frozen, ready-tobake pastries—said to be the first in more
than five years—promises to make the art
of making a delicious pie at home, well, as
easy as pie.
Launched across Canada’s leading grocery stores just before the end of 2011, the
fittingly-named Easy Pie! kits—available
in Double Crust and Crumble Topping versions—provides busy home chefs with everything they need, except the fruit and/
or berry filling to bake a professional-looking pie creations in only 30 minutes by
eliminating the need to make pie-shells from scratch, according to the Torontoheadquartered Maple Leaf Foods.
“We’re excited to introduce Easy Pie!, the fi rst new product in the frozen
ready-to-bake pastry category in over five years, to Canadians,” says Kelly
Gervin, Maple Leaf ’s vice-president of marketing for North American retail
and foodservice business.
“We regularly hear from consumers who tell us they don’t have time to
make meals and desserts from scratch, so they’re looking for products that help
them prepare delicious food in a more convenient way,” adds Gervin.
“Our new Easy Pie! products makes the time out of pie-making from scratch
so that Canadians can do more of what matters most—spending time with
their family and friends.”
Packaged in high-graphic folding cartons designed by Pigeon Branding
+ Design and supplied by the Waterloo, Ont.-based package converter
Beresford Box Company, Inc., the Easy Pie! kits are assembled at the
Concord, Ont.-based plant of the Canada Bread Company—90-percent
owned by Maple Leaf Foods—which also produces the six-inch frozen pieshells contained in the kits on-site, along with the pie-top layer included in
the Double Crust recipe.
The kits also include packets of spice and crumble mix (Crumble Topping variety only) supplied by Newly Weds Foods Co. of Mississauga, Ont., as well
as aluminum pie tins from the Toronto-based Novelis Foil Products and
parchment paper sheets from De Luxe Produits De Papier Inc of Montreal.
“Ideal for serving two to four people, this innovative addition to the brand’s
line of ready-to-bake products provides consumers with yet another smart
baking solution that they have grown to expect from the Tenderflake product family,” says Gervin, noting the Tenderflake brand’s approaching 70-year
anniversary next year.
Said to be priced in line with other mainstay Tenderflake brand frozen pastry
products—including Pie Shells, Deep Dish Pie Shells, All Vegetable Shortening
Deep Dish Pie Shells, Tart Shells, MiniTart Shells, Patty Shells and Puff Pastry—
the Easy Pie! kits are currently retailed
by all Walmart Supercentre stores
across Canada, as well as at:
• Loblaws, Zehrs, YIG, Fortino’s
and Valu-mart outlets in Ontario;
• Métro, Loblaws, Sobeys, Provigo
and L’Intermarche supermarkets in
Quebec;
• RASS/SuperValu grocery stores
throughout the Maritimes region.

ROBUST GROWTH FORECAST FOR ASEPTIC PACKAGING IN U.S. MARKETS
end-use market for aseptic packaging
in the U.S for the forecast period—
rising by 8.4 per cent
annually to US$3.4
billion by 2015.
These
gains
“reflect the broadening availability
and consumption of
biotechnology-based drugs, and
aseptic fi lling requirements with other
liquid pharmaceuticals.
“Additionally, opportunities will be
driven by preferences among healthcare
providers for unit-dose delivery formats,”

“The ongoing commercialization of biotechnology-based drugs will fuel aboveaverage
demand
growth
for
aseptic
vials and ampules, and prefi llable syringes, which
are prevalent delivery systems for these drugs.”
For their part, U.S. food-and-beverage producers will also increase their use of aseptic packaging
technologies during the forecast period, albeit at a
slower pace, the report cautions: “Advances will be
moderated by the high capital investment of aseptic processing equipment and the reluctance of food
and beverage firms to shift away from highly efficient hotfill and retort processing operations.”
According to The Freedonia Group, the dairy products segments will drive most of the demand gains in the
food-and-beverage sector due to the aseptic technology’s
superior shelf-life performance and the ability to move
the product through the supply chain unrefrigerated,
“Gains in the food market will be driven by shelf-stability advantages, as well as by expanding applications in
liquid, low-particulate and pumpable foods, often via the
replacement of metal cans and glass jars,” the study notes.
“However, growth for aseptic packaging in the beverage market will be restrained by the maturity of the
fruit beverage market, expectation among U.S. consumers for chilled milk, and competition from hot-fi ll
packaging, which has a well-established base.”
While the stalling North American
economy continues to cloud near-term
prospects across a broad range of packaging markets, annual demand for aseptic packaging products in the U.S. is
expected to soar by an average of eight
per cent in coming years to surpass the
US$5-billion threshold by 2015, according to a new report from Cleveland,
Ohio-based market research consultants The Freedonia Group projecting
“well above the overall packaging average” growth for suppliers of aseptic
packaging products and machinery.
“Growth will be driven by drug sterility requirements and ambient distri-
bution and storage advantages for
food and beverages,” states the
report, forecasting U.S. market
demand of US$5.1 billion by 2015
“Specifically,
the
increasing availability of biotechnologybased injectable drugs
necessitates aseptic fi lling and packaging
as such drugs tend to be heat-sensitive,
making the high heat used in terminal
sterilization processes unfeasible.”

ECO-PACK NOW
TETRA PAK WON’T REST ON PAST GREEN LAURELS
Staying at the top of the curve is
said to be always harder than getting
there, but that doesn’t seem to phase
anyone at the Richmond Hill, Ont.based aseptic packaging supplier
Tetra Pak Canada Inc., which
gathered a multitude of impressive
milestones and well-earned accolades in the area of packaging sustainability last year, including:
• Winning the 2011 Best Green
Consumer Product honors in the
GLOBE Awards for Environmental
Excellence competition of the
GLOBE Foundation;
• Picking up the Silver Award in the
2011 PAC Sustainable Packaging
Awards competition of PAC-The
Packaging Association;
• Taking a Silver Award for sustainable product or service in the 2011
Waste Minimization Awards competition of the Recycling Council
of Ontario (RCO).
“The year 2011 was a landmark
year for Tetra Pak in Canada, and
we are proud of our many successes,”
says Elisabeth Comere, director of
environment and a government affairs
at Tetra Pak Inc.’s North American
headquarters in Vernon Hills, Ill.
“We helped found an industry association, Carton Council
of Canada, which is dedicated to
increasing carton recycling rates;
actively supported away-from-home
recycling programs in Quebec; promoted waste reduction programs
and carton recycling at schools across
Ontario and Quebec; and earned
industry recognition for our Tetra
Recart packaging innovation.
“We will continue to invest in
innovative thinking and work hard
to realize our ultimate aim to provide Canada and the world with
packaging solutions that only use
renewable materials and where every
Tetra Pak carton will be recycled,”
states Comere, citing the company’s
recently-unveiled global 2020 strategy aimed at capping the company’s
10 • WWW.CANADIANPACKAGING.COM
carbon emissions at 2010 levels,
while doubling the recycling rate of
its used beverage cartons.
“Environmental efficiency has
always been at the heart of Tetra Pak’s
strategy because it is critical to both
business performance and to society
as a whole,” Comere explains, “and
we remain deeply committed to
delivering solutions that achieve sustainable profitable growth for both
Tetra Pak and our customers.”
While an estimated 94 per cent
of Canadians have access to carton
recycling, according to Tetra Pak,
only 42 per cent of used Tetra Pak
drink-boxes actually end up in the
municipal recycling streams.
This wide gap has prompted Tetra
Pak’s active involvement in the formation of the Carton Council of
Canada—comprising two other
major carton manufacturers, several
paper mills and noted professional
recycling experts—to carry out
waste audits that identify and address
key issues impacting carton recycling, as well as provide resources for
building a sustainable carton recycling supply chain nationwide.
Also last year, Tetra Pak teamed up
with leading Ontario supermarket
chain Metro Ontario Inc. in two
high-profi le recycling programs:
• The RCO-administered WasteFree Lunch Challenge initiative,
designed to educate students, staff
and parents about waste reduction
and introduce recycling assessment
and performance criteria into the
Ontario schools—using the information to help Tetra Pak fi netune
its national recycling strategy.
• The Play Soccer community program, jointly carried out across
Ontario last summer in partnership
with Metro.
According to Tetra Pak, “The program helped increase and encourage
responsible recycling by providing
coaches, parents and kids with on-site
recycling facilities and information
about community recycling programs, as well educate and motivate
Ontarians to learn about and use their
local recycling facilities to effectively
increase away-from-home recycling.”
PACKAGING MILLS
ACHIEVE KEY GREEN
MILESTONE
The vast majority
of
Canadian-based
paper packaging mill
achieved “major” environmental
milestone near the end of last year by
obtaining or signing on to achieving
independent, third-party certification that they use responsible sources
of paper fiber to make the board
they sell for conversion into boxes,
bags or cartons, according to the
Paper & Paperboard Packaging
Environmental Council (PPEC).
“This is important because both
our customers and the public want
independent verification that we
are sourcing our packaging materials responsibly,” PPEC executive
director John Mullinder, adding
that 16 of the group’s 15 member-mills have already received,
or expect to receive, one of three
globally-recognized chain-of-custody certifications used in Canada,
including PEFC (Programme
for
Endorsement
of
Forest
Certification), SFI (Sustainable
Forestry Initiative) and FSC
(Forest Stewardship Council).
“The Canadian industry already
uses a significant amount of
recycled material to make its products,” says Mullinder. “In fact, the
current average recycled content for
domestic shipments is 77 per cent.
“Through independent, thirdparty chain-of-custody certification, we’re taking it a step further
to prove that all the paper material
our mill members use comes from
responsible sources, be it old boxes
recycled from industry or households, leftover wood chips or sawdust from logging operations, or
virgin pulp,” says Mullinder, citing the importance of chain-ofconfidence certification in light
of it being selected as one of several core metrics for sustainable
sourcing as defi ned last year by
The Consumer Goods Forum
international alliance of leading
global retailers and brand-owners.

trucks or other man-operated machinery—mechanical conveyor systems
have been embraced as standard laborsaving equipment by heavy industries
for more than a century, with their
rapid technological development in
the last 40 years helping to spread their
use across a broad range of mainstream
consumer markets.
Today widely available in a farreaching array of application-specific
designs, constructions, speeds, capacities and configurations—from pneumatic, vacuum and vibratory to chain,
roller, spiral, vertical, incline, modular,

conveyors are an omnipresent feature
of any self-respecting packaging line
worthy of the name, and their ongoing
technical refi nement and evolution
makes them a massively important
capital asset and a core technological
competence for a vast majority of
manufacturing enterprises worldwide.
“Conveyors are like the arteries of a

to the rest of the body are not maintained, which is why conveyors are an
integral part of any operating processing

and multipurpose models to extend its reach
into nonfood sectors,
according to Eckert.
“If designed well,
conveyors are inherently simple systems
for helping companies achieve improved
uptime, equipment reliability, speed and personnel safety,” Eckert told Canadian
Packaging in a recent interview.
“Some of the biggest improvements in
recent years involve the controls more
than the conveyors themselves—automating lines to operate conveyors into
and out of various processes can optimize a plant’s productivity and safe
operation,” Eckert relates.
“As for the conveyors themselves,
there are now various new materials that
are more durable and/or easier to clean
and maintain today, along with better
auxiliary products to enable a conveyor
to turn corners, raise or lower products,
and go into places that were previously
not considered possible.
“Therefore,
conveyors
should
always be designed with real needs in
mind for both the present reality and
future growth,” states Eckert, citing the growing role of governmentmandated
food
and
workplace safety
compliance
requirements in the
ongoing refi nement of
existing conveyor system
designs.
“The government-staged safety
blitzes have served as a kind of
wake-up call to the industry, in
many cases bringing a cleaner, more
sanitary and safer finish to conveyors in
general,” says Eckert. “We recognized
early on that many of the ‘food’ features
of conveyors can be applied equally well
to other industries.
“Regardless of industry sector, the
main common driving force is reliable
safe operation—everybody wins when
both personnel safety and continuous
production time are properly considered and covered,” he asserts.
For all their inherent simplicity,
16 • WWW.CANADIANPACKAGING.COM
Eckert says that proper understanding
of the conveying systems’ pivotal role
in a company’s production process
remains a stumbling block for many
end-user manufacturers.
“A simple problem can often lead
to complex solutions,”
Eckert explains. “In
many
industrial
facilities, processes,
equipment
and
people have evolved
over the years with seemingly
minor adjustments—to the point that
when something needs to be ‘updated’ it
has a ripple effect on many other adjacent
things, so that a simple conveyor application might involve cleaning up several
other surrounding items in the plant.
“This is usually a good thing, but it
can add to the capital cost of the actual
immediate project, thus causing its
delay or outright cancellation,” he cautions. “Processors need to recognize
the need to spend properly and see the
whole picture.
“Doing it properly now will usually save
even more in the longer term by smoothing out production flows, optimizing productivity and reducing such
concerns as downtime or personnel injury,” says Eckert, stressing the importance of
fully understanding
customers’
evolving needs by
conveyor systems
manufacturers and integrators.
“As we see our customers developing
more interesting and unique new
products, we have to adapt to handle
their often-unique new needs,” Eckert
reflects. “Quite often, we can merge
the technologies of two or more of our
machinery suppliers in a complement-
ary way—utilizing the benefits and
strengths of each to best handle a customer’s complete needs.
“And we can adapt new materials and
material handling solutions to handle
needs we do not yet know about,” he
notes, citing emergence and continuing sophistication of automatic palletizing systems, which have also become
an indispensable end-of-line packaging
mainstay across a vast array of industries shipping their
products out to customers on pallets.
Since their introduction at North
American
factories
in the 1970s, inline
palletizers have not
only helped drive
out the massive
manual labor costs
of stacking boxes
of product on skids
by hand, but to also
do the job with far
greater accuracy and precision at onceunimaginable line speeds by utilizing
a continuous motion flow divider that
guides the goods into the desired area
on the layer-forming platform—at both
high and low, floor-level elevation.
The inevitable introduction of industrial robotics into palletizing systems in
the 1980s laid foundation for a whole
new class of robotic palletizers to
emerge in the 1990s to help countless
high-volume, high-speed manufacturers in numerous industries to significantly optimize their end-of-line
performance and efficiencies—often
through keen integration of the palletizing systems with a factory’s existing
conveyor design configurations.
And while it’s far from certain that
robotic palletizers are about to completely replace the conventional palletizing systems any time soon, the
increasing affordability and flexibility of today’s palletizing, packing and
pick-and-place robots are making
them an increasingly attractive ROI
(return-on-investment) proposition for
the manufacturing end-users, according to industry insiders.
“The palletizing market has evolved
considerably over the last decade,
and robotics now account for a significant portion of the market,” says
Steve McElweenie, vice-president
CANADIAN PACKAGING • WINTER 2012
AUTOMATE NOW
WINTER 2012 • CANADIAN PACKAGING
that can accommodate these new challenges, and our robotics offerings often
provide an ideal solution for handling
the more complex packaging and cases.
“Conveying and palletizing efficiency is critical for packaging line
productivity,” McElweenie asserts.
“Customers require maximum efficiency from their packaging lines, and
so the conveyor and palletizing systems
must be designed, manufactured and
installed in a way that will meet this
challenging demand.
“Manufacturing plants usually don’t
have the production flexibility to
upgrade and modify their existing lines
and as a result, efficient, effective project implementation and coordination
are mission-critical,” says McElweenie,
explaining Intelligrated’s prominent
marketplace positioning.
Point of Pride
“We take pride in building rugged,
reliable equipment [and] we also realize that if the palletizer goes down,
the line backs up and shuts down the
upstream packaging operation, which
could be a catastrophic event for our
clients,” says McElweenie, pointing out
that Intelligrated is the world’s leading
manufacturer of high-speed palletizers,
with some models palletizing up to 220
individual 12-packs per minute.
“Some of these machines have been in
operation for 25 years—running three
shifts, seven days a week,” he extols.
“We do everything possible to ensure
that our clients’ lines are working at
peak efficiency
with little or
no unplanned
downtime
by
continuously
reviewing product designs and
making best-ofbreed improve-
ments for future product models, such
as layer depalletizing using robotics
and unscrambling conveyors to allow
for rainbow load creation to use an
example,” McElweenie reveals.
“In addition to our advances in robotics we (Intelligrated) are also a pioneer in integrating PLC (programmable
logic controller) controls solutions for
robotic systems,” he continues.
“Utilizing PLC controls promotes a
more seamless integration of robotics
into a facility, as the maintenance staff
are already familiar with PLC controls,
as well as the ability to increase speed,
handle smaller packages and to achieve
gentler handling, with easier user interfaces and quicker product changeovers.”
John Danesh, food and beverage
specialist with Brampton, Ont.-based
SEW-Eurodrive Co. of Canada
Ltd., a leading supplier of gearmotors,
drive electronics, control and software
for automated packaging and other
industrial equipment, also notes a growing trend toward more robotics in palletizing applications.
“In today’s palletizing market the use
of robots is becoming much more standard,” says Danesh. “This is driven by
the need for increased speeds, mixedcase palletizing, unusual packaging
options, and the ability to handle
smaller case sizes.
“This development follows changing
retail trends that emphasize palletizing

home instead of stacking and shipping

handling systems and equipment
group Intelligrated of St. Louis, Mo.
“There is still a strong demand for conventional palletizers, but we’re seeing
more and more robotics, as well as lowto mid-level palletizing applications.”
This trend has prompted Intelligrated
to pour major capital investment into
robotics in recent years, McElweenie
relates, including recent startup of a
“state-of-the-art robotics demonstration lab at our St. Louis facility to allow
our application and design engineers to
work with our robotic manufacturing
partners in a lab setting, where we can
demonstrate proof of concept for our
clients using their own product.”
McElweenie cites the company’s
recent launch of the Alvey 950 palletizer series as a perfect blend of conventional and robotics palletizing,
whereby the system integrates robotic
arms for pattern forming with a conventional high-speed palletizer.
“The results are very impressive,” he
states. “While robotics does give customers more palletizing options, customers are often confused about the
best way to apply palletizing technology in their operations.
“Thankfully, Intelligrated is in a
unique position to offer both technologies,” says McElweenie, citing
Intelligrated’s global installation base
of over 5,000 palletizing machines,
along with a blue-chip client base
comprising most Fortune 500 foodand-beverage producers.
“Ever-changing, consumer-directed
packaging changes are having a huge
impact on the industry,” McElweenie
relates. “Packaging is evolving to meet
consumer preferences, such as more
environmentally-friendly packaging
and packaging that supports an ‘onthe-go’ lifestyle.
“We are also seeing
smaller case sizes that are
harder to handle, less secondary packaging—requiring gentler handling—and
higher line speeds that
require better control of the
product,” he points out.
“These trends reflect a
growing need for palletizing
and conveying equipment

secondary packages, which need to be
unpacked at the ready for the retail floor.
“In the past, due to the complexity,
speed limitation and cost most palletizing systems did not utilize the use of
robots,” Danesh recalls. “Most palletizing applications were using pneumatic or servo-driven two-axis gantry
systems for row forming, or continuous-motion systems.
“But as today’s robots continue to
become more user-friendly, faster and
less expensive, robotics is fast-becoming
a more viable for a lot of applications.
“For end-use manufacturers, it is often
a challenge to determine a deciding
factor whether to use standard palletizing machine or to use robot,” Danish
acknowledges, but it may be one of
the more important capital investment
decisions they have to make.
Huge Role
Says Danesh: “Palletizing systems play
a hugely important role in the overall
productivity of the plant, because as
production speeds get faster, packaging
and palletizing can easily become the
bottleneck of every production line.
“No matter what the products—
packaged foods, beverages, pharmaceuticals, medical items, etc.—the
requirements for efficient palletizing
remain similar in every industry: to
keep up with production speeds; to
build accurate loads; to stack damagefree product; and to provide high process reliability and safe operation.”
Yarek Niedbala, national sales director
at the Mississauga, Ont.-based KUKA
Robotics Canada Ltd., asserts that
ongoing improvements in the design
and construction of industrial robotics naturally make them a better-suited
option in an increasing number of
industrial settings—notably in freezer
warehousing and storage environments.
Niedbala explains: “There’s an
increase in the use of freezer environments in the food industry and cold
storage markets [and] in some of these
facilities products must often be palletized in very cold temperatures as low as
-30˚C, which poses several challenges:
difficulty in fi nding and maintaining
labor; increased staffing needs; worker
cold stress, which impacts productiv18 • WWW.CANADIANPACKAGING.COM
ity and alertness;
and more personnel to train,
since operators
are frequently
rotated out of
the environment.
“A palletizing robot would be an
ideal solution for these environments, where space is at a premium,
but because traditional palletizing
robots were not developed to work in
such cold environments, they require
protective jackets and heaters to keep
them warm,” Niedbala relates. “This
requires heat energy to be added to an
environment that we are trying to keep
cold, and there’s also the added cost to
maintain the jackets and heaters.”
To address this shortcoming, KUKA
recently introduced a model KR 180
PA Arctic robot—already successfully installed at several busy industrial freezers—designed specifically to
work in temperatures as low as -30˚C
without jacket or heaters.
According to Niedbala, there are
several key factors driving the ongoing
trend to robotizing of inline palletizing equipment, including:
• Full Line Integration.
“Our CPG end users are looking for
a single integrated control solution
for packaging machines and robotics
to reduce training requirements—by
eliminating the need to learn a robot
OEMs controller—and to simplify
the control architecture and maintenance,” says Niedbala, citing KUKA’s
recent launch of a series of robots running on Rockwell Automation’s
Allen-Bradley ControlLogix controller
and Kinetix drives, replacing the proprietary KUKA controller, drives and
teach pendant.
• Package Lightweighting.
“Lightweighting and sustainability
initiatives in packaging have led to an
increase in the use of shrink film and
lighter materials, making packaging
more fragile,” Niedbala explains. “This
makes the traditional bump-and-turn
mechanisms inadequate for layer forming in high-speed palletizing applications, where products can incur damage.
“That’s why KUKA Robotics
developed a robotic layer-forming
solution that uses one or multiple
robots to gently and quickly slide
products into position to create layers
without damaging the products.”
• Operational f lexibility.
“Club stores are driving CPG companies to provide frequently changing
product mixes and packaging that help
to increase sales at their stores, hence
CPG companies that supply a variety
of club stores are increasingly relying
on contract packagers that understand
their customers’ packaging preferences
and requirements,” Niedbala relates.
“Contract packagers must rely on
flexible packaging lines that can satisfy
these requirements, and the flexibility
of robots makes them an ideal choice
for these types of lines.”
• Cost Reduction.
“Our customers are demanding higher
throughput, thereby pushing robot
manufacturers to develop faster products,” says Niedbala. “For us, that means
incorporating new materials, such as
carbon composite reinforced plastic, in
the construction of palletizing robots to
achieve lighter arms and faster speeds.
Says Niedbala: “One sure way to
achieve higher throughput is to palletize
full layers instead of individual products.
“This kind of operation requires robots
with very high payloads, and KUKA
Robotics has a complete range of
heavy-duty palletizing robots developed
expressly for these types of applications—

René Cossette , general

Que.-based
end-of-line

Premier Tech Systems,
concurs.
“Robotic palletizers offer several key
advantages: they typically need less
space, usually require less maintenance, and they can adapt more easily to
accommodate different pallet patterns,
layouts and product types, while being
capable of simultaneously handling
multiple infeeds of different products,
including bags, cases, pails, bottles,
drums, etc.,” he says.
Cossette relates that Premier Tech has
developed a broad range of end-of-arm
tooling for robotic palletizers—including vacuum, bundle grippers, fingerstype, magnetic, servo-driven and other
types of grippers—to cover a broad
range of end-use applications.
Serving a highly diverse client base
in the horticultural, feedstock, agrifoods, chemicals, minerals, pet-foods
and other manufacturing sectors with
high-volume, high-throughput industrial environments, Premier Tech also
offers a comprehensive selection of
conventional palletizing systems—as
well as conveyors—stressing operational flexibility, quicker changeover
capabilities, lower power consumption
and minimal maintenance requirements as key competitive advantages.
“We design our conventional palletizers to make them easy to troubleshoot, support and operate without
special training, while also providing
a high throughput in the handing of
bags, pails, cans, cases, drums, bundles,
kegs and so on,” he asserts.
“Our conventional palletizers provide
neat, symmetrical palletized stacks thanks
to the four side pushing plates which
square up each layer as it is deposited onto
the layer below,” says Cossette, “and they
are able to compress each layer during
palletizing as the stripper plate presses
down onto each layer of bags.”
Nevertheless, Cossette agrees that
more widespread use of robotics-based
palletizing solutions among Premier
20 • WWW.CANADIANPACKAGING.COM
Tech’s clients
is inevitable.
“One thing we
know for sure is
that robotics have emerged in a big
way in the past five years to become
more and more popular among our
customers,” he states.
“To remain competitive, our customers are continually demanding
more flexibility, productivity and reliability—the three key attributes provided by robotics.”
As well as optimal operational safety
in respect to workplace ergonomics and repetitive motion injuries,
according to Julie Lindblad, marketing
coordinator at the Vancouver, Wash.based palletizing systems manufacturer
Columbia Machine, Inc.
Safe Bet
“Safety, flexibility, innovation and sustainability are key marketplace trends
that are driving the design of today’s
palletizers,” says Lindblad, whose company has to date installed over 3,000
palletizing systems worldwide, mostly
in North America, for customers in the
food-and beverage, personal-care, home
care and chemical product industries.
“Having Category 3 safety electronics as standard across our entire product line is obviously something that
all manufacturers are looking for,”
she says, also citing productivity as the
other key performance attribute.
“You can have workers manually palletizing product at 10 or 12 cases per
minute if you want, whereas
Columbia Machine
supplies palletizers
for operating at 40,
50, 80 and, in some
instances, over 140
cases per minute!
“You simply can
not manually palletize
at those kinds of rates,”
Lindblad asserts. “In most circumstances, greater efficiencies are realized
with higher volume productivity, which
requires greater levels of automation,
including more automated palletizing.
“Even at lower production rates, automation can increase a manufacturer’s
competitive advantage by reducing
labor requirments and lowering production costs,” she points out, saying
Columbia’s broad product line—comprising 13 conventional inline palletizing systems and three different robotic
arm choices—can accommodate a broad
spectrum of application requirements.
“Although we have not seen huge
changes on the mechanical side of
automating the conventional palletizing process,” Lindblad reflects, “there
have been some tremendous gains on
the electrical side, with new sophisticated PLC components and touchscreen
HMIs (human-machine interfaces).
“About six years ago Columbia
Machine introduced Product Manager
software to allow manufacturers to store
product and pattern data and related
machine ‘recipes,’ which ultimately
allowed even the lower-speed, lowercost palletizers to be able to seamlessly
change from one product or SKU (stockkeeping unit) to another in ‘on-the-fly’
operation,” she explains. “This true
‘tool-less’ changeover is a prime example
of how conventional palletizers have
become much more flexible in
recent years.”
The
increased
affordability of
sophisticated
control electronics has also had a
profound impact on
the design of conveyor
systems, according to Will

Rothrock, sales manager for western
region at the Burlington, Ont.-based
FlexLink Systems Canada, Inc.
Now operating as part of the Bologna,
Italy-headquartered Coesia Group,
which acquired the Swedish industrial
conveying systems supplier FlexLink
AB late last year, FlexLink was the original pioneer of the modular conveyor
systems that enabled user to “condense
their line layouts while actually increasing the lines’ productivity,” according
to Rothrock, who also cites FlexLink’s
development of its widely-used
Production Logistics software technology
for adapting material and information
flows to a production environment.
“Ten years ago this concept primarily focused on the management of
material flow, ensuring that the right
material is distributed to the right
machine and workstation, in the right
quantity and quality, at the right time,”
Rothrock relates.
“Today the concept has expanded to
include the management of information flow, controlling the process and
product data throughout the production
processes, providing process statistics
and facilitating automatic line changes.”
In the last few years FlexLink commissioned several studies to determine the
impact of Production Logistics on typical
production and packaging lines, reveals
Rothrock, citing “remarkable” results.
“By starting with an efficient line
layout, and incorporating a sophisticated controls architecture that allows
the conveying system to adjust and
react automatically to the output and
efficiency of each piece of equipment
in the line, productivity increases of 15
per cent or more are not uncommon.
“In the fast-moving consumer goods
market, these improvements can result
in financial payback for the initial cost
of these solutions in a matter of days,
not months,” he points out.
“Many customers today are unaware
of the potential impact that the application of Production Logistics can have
on a lines overall productivity— spending weeks, or even months, researching
major equipment items for a line and
then simply take a ‘connect the dots’
approach to the conveying system.
“To maximize the efficiency and productivity of a line, an equal amount of
time must be spent in determining the
optimal material flow through the line,
WINTER 2012 • CANADIAN PACKAGING
and a control
system must be
considered that
goes
beyond
the “start/stop”
mentality that
typically
prevails
today,”
Rothrock asserts.
“The
conveyor system can
no longer be an
afterthought,
but must be
considered a crucial component of the
line with an appropriate portion of the
budget,” he states, citing continued
integration of new-generation automation components and software into
contemporary conveyor system designs.
Soft Touch
“Modern control systems that incorporate communication networks—
ProfiBus, DeviceNet, Ethernet IP,
etc.—along with ‘smart’ line components such as motor controllers, sensors,
vision systems and RFID (radio frequency identification) have had an
incredible impact on conveying technology,” he explains, citing enhanced
new capabilities such as:
• The ability to route individual products
to specific locations via RFID tracking based on real-time information;
• The ability to control line speed
dynamically based on the conditions
at a specific machine;
• On-the-f ly inspection along the
process route to allow for rejection
of defective or incomplete products
from the production stream;
• Automatic display of assembly instructions or diagnostic information specific
to individual product on operator
interfaces via RFID “license plates”
and real-time production tracking.
Rothrock relates: “One of the fi rst
industries where FlexLink conveyors made a significant impact was the
paper converting industry.
“If you walk down a supermarket
aisle you are likely to see the same roll
of toilet tissue in no less than six different package arrangements—from a
single wrapped roll to a mega-pack of
24 rolls, with numerous other configurations in between.
“Using our unique Dynamic Flow
concept, tissue rolls produced at dif-

ferent locations within a plant are all
delivered to an overhead conveying
highway and—using sophisticated
controls, sensors, diverters, and merge
devices—delivered to various wrapping machines on-demand—thus
optimizing the balance of products
throughout the line for optimal floor
space utilization and product yield.”
According to Rothrock, such innovative conveying concepts are bound to
become more commonplace on production and packaging lines in coming
years—in large part driven by more
sophisticated and operator-friendly
software programs.
“We expect software technology to
play a larger role in the next five to
10 years,” he says. “With better software, companies will be able to measure and monitor certain areas of their
production such as energy consumption, throughput, speed, and keep track
of routine preventative maintenance
schedules.
“By keeping a watchful eye on these
areas, manufacturers will be able
to sharpen their processes and be at
the forefront of their competition,”
Rothrock concludes. “Conveyor technology has long proven itself to be a vital
investment for companies both large
and small, and its importance will only
increase as customers strive for high and
even quality of production, in combination with lower production costs.”

A PURE POWER TRIP
Energy efficiency at the heart of Schneider Electric’s
packaging automation vision for the 21st Century
BY GEORGE GUIDONI, EDITOR
I
t’s hard to imagine that the great
former New York Post columnist Earl
Wilson really knew exactly how
right he was when he so wittily deadpanned one for the ages: “Benjamin
Franklin may have discovered electricity, but it was the man who invented
the meter who made the money.”
Big money indeed, and getting bigger
all the time, as evidenced by the existence
and influence of global corporate heavyweights such as Schneider Electric—a
French-owned, $25-billion-plus a year
industrial colossus with a commanding
share in many global markets for electrical power, distribution, management,
monitoring and automation controls,
where it robustly competes head-to-
22 • WWW.CANADIANPACKAGING.COM
head against other global powerhouses of
industrial automation engineering such
as Rockwell Automation, Siemens
AG and Omron Electronics LLC, to
name a few.
While power transmission and distribution accounts for a hefty 59 per
cent of the company’s annual revenues,
according to its 2010 annual report,
in recent years global manufacturing
industries have collectively grown to
become its second-biggest source of
worldwide revenues at 18 per cent, well
ahead of the other core Information
Technology and Buildings sectors.
This steady expansion in industrial markets has naturally enabled
Schneider Electric to grow its presence
in the all-important North American
marketplace, where the company now
generates almost a quarter (24 per cent)
of its annual earnings.
Like all leading power systems
and industrial automation suppliers,
Schneider Electric posted a notable
drop in revenues in 2009 at the peak
of the recent Great Recession, but it
had since rebounded resoundingly to
post record-high revenues and profit
levels through both organic growth
and a series of well-executed strategic
acquisitions—leveraging the company’s long-standing reputation as an
elite supplier of cutting-edge industrial
automation hardware and software,
including robotics and a vast array of
motion control solutions, to OEMs
(original equipment manufacturers)
serving a broad spectrum of durable and
nondurable goods-producing sectors.
Show and Tell
This competence was certainly in abundant display a few weeks ago in Orlando,
Fla., during the company’s two-day
Machines NOW conference and exhibition accentuating its world-class expertise in helping North American-based
OEMs develop new machine designs
and capabilities—thereby also helping to stem the tide of ‘offshoring’ of
manufacturing jobs to Asia and other
low-labor-cost regions through more
efficient and optimized manufacturing
and packaging performance.
Although the packaging OEM market
currently only accounts for a relatively
tiny two-percent share of Schneider
Electric’s total revenues generated in
the industries sector, the company is
making a concerted effort to grow that
share significantly in coming years,
according to Luc Richard, business
development manager at the company’s
Canadian operations in Pointe-Claire,
Que., leveraging the wealth of technical packaging expertise that it has
cultivated and nurtured in recent years
through its strategic acquisitions—a
process tracing back at least as far as its
2005 purchase of a well-established,
highly innovative German robotics
manufacturer ELAU AG.
“The company has identified the
packaging machinery sector as one
of the most promising OEM business
opportunities for us, and we aim to at
least double that part of our business
over the next couple of years, which
may sound ambitious, but it is certainly
CANADIAN PACKAGING • WINTER 2012

his highly informative presentation at
the recently-held Machines Now
conference in Orlando, Fla.
an achievable goal for us,” Richard
told the Canadian Packaging magazine just prior to the Machines NOW
conference kick-off.
According to Richard, having virtually unrivaled expertise in energy
management
perfectly
positions
Schneider Electric to benefit from the
packaging industry’s relentless focus on
creating more environmentally sustainable packaging solutions because
of the huge role played by energy conservation in the overall environmental
footprint reduction equation.
“I think that the very term ‘sustainability’ will soon be replaced in many
conversations by the term ‘energy efficiency’ because the two are so closely
interwined and mutually dependent,”
Richard remarked, echoing a widelyshared sentiment running throughout
the two-day event, highlighted with an
impressive display of packaging, conveying, robotics and other manufac-
turing solution
making optimal
use of Schneider
Electric’s rapidly
advancing automation
technologies.
(See

“Energy may
be essential to
making
the
products, but in
the past it’s really
been invisible on
the production
bill of materials because it hasn’t really been easy to
allocate energy costs to a certain area
of your plant, or a specific machine—
making it an unmanaged resource,”
pointed out Michael Crowley, product
manager at Schneider Electric’s industrial web and networking product business unit in North Andover, Mass.
Past Tense
“In the past you would take the total
energy bill and allocate it by square
footage, which didn’t much have to
do with the actual amount energy you
were using to make or package the
product,” Crowley explained.
“But with energy now getting so very
expensive, manufacturers really need to
know where their energy is being used
and to allocate it to its production processes accordingly.”
While the rising cost of fuel tends to
grab most of the headlines in public
debates over environmental sustain-
ability and climate change, Crowley
countered that transportation activities actually account for only about
a 14-percent share of the global GHG
(greenhouse gas) emissions generated
worldwide, compared to the 44 per
cent traced directly to the energy consumption requirements of commercial
buildings, including manufacturing
factories, and industrial processes and
operations themselves.
“There are many things we can
already do today with energy audits,
energy-efficient products, and engineered solutions for residential, commercial and industrial buildings and
processes ... to achieve energy savings
of up to 30 per cent in some cases,
without really having to wait for new
solutions to materialize,” he stated.
“The tremendous rate of global population growth is fueling the growth in
energy consumption, especially in the
emerging economies,” Crowley noted.
“It is expected to double by the year
2020, and meeting those needs while
also trying to cut the CO2 emissions in
half to stem climate change will be a
big challenge, a really tough task.”
Carrying out that task successfully will
ultimately require a major rethink on
both the supply and the demand side of
the energy debacle, Crowley explained.
“You can focus on supply side of problem with cleaner technologies, nuclear
power, carbon capture systems, etc.,
but it is all bound to take a long time to
materialize, and it may also be risky from
an environmental safety standpoint,” he
remarked. “But on the demand side we
already have quite a few technologies
that can save manufacturers a fair bit of
energy without taking up a whole lot of
capital investment.
“Within a typical industrial facility,
about 60 per cent is used by the motors
driving the machinery, so there is a lot
of low-hanging fruit to be had just by
fi xing the basics by upgrading your
motor starters, inverted frequency
drives, breakers, etc.
“From there you can move into the
active energy programs with automation and control, HVAC controls,
variable speed drives, lighting controls, process and machine optimization ... and once you have improved
your energy footprint, it’s important
not to lose those gains by using monContinues on page 24

itoring software and energy efficiency
analysis software.
“There’s always an opportunity to
look for further savings,” Crowley
asserted, “but unless you’re actively
looking at those on a daily basis, you can
and you will miss those opportunities.”
Stated Crowley: “Energy should be
a managed resource because energy
information and awareness will promote best practices that will enable you
to spot the opportunities.
“The key is to have your information
from all the right levels—you can’t
expect to just receive your bill from
the utility and be able to understand
where to save energy in your plant,”
he remarked.
“Moving from energy awareness to
energy management means having the
information on how much energy it
takes to get the machine into a ready
state,” Crowley expanded. “You don’t
want it to go to a sleep state if it’s going
to take more energy than to keep it
running.
“It is time versus the impact of
change: what’s the impact of the
change, knowing how long it going to
take the machine to rehome, knowing
how to best optimize the energy profi le of the equipment.
“Once I know that information, I’ll
know whether it is worth it to put the
machine to sleep over lunch or a shift
change.”
Offering his insider view as a prominent member of the international Open
DeviceNet Vendors Association
(ODVA) user group—mandated with
supporting computing network technologies based upon the Common
Industrial
Protocol
(CIP)—Crowley
observed: “Things are always a lot easier
if you standardize, which is why ODVA
is working continuously to standardize
that kind of data and information.
“A simple thing like having an
energy measuring device adopted
inside a variable frequency drive will
make it much easier to assign values,”
he reasoned, “but energy users must be
able to make valid apple-to-apple comparisons to make sophisticated analysis.
“Optimizing energy costs takes a lot
of coordination and real-time pricing,
and it makes it a lot easier with stan24 • WWW.CANADIANPACKAGING.COM
dardized network protocols—using
information from different sources to
standardize object models to make useful energy management systems.
“Industrial customers need to track
all that information and their customers are asking for it, like Walmart with
its packaging scorecard mandate,” he
concluded.
“It’s about the ability to look at energy
at the machine level and being able to
assess how much energy is being used
by the different parts of the machine,
how often things are running, when is
the peak usage, what’s the consumption profi le, how much juice is needed
to start up a conveyor belt ... that’s
the future of energy management and
energy efficiency.”
Ready to Explode
Simon Jacobson, research director,
with the Boston, Mass.-based information technology consultancy Gartner
Inc., agreed that the unfolding “massive information explosion” is quickly
changing the rules of the game in 21st
Century manufacturing, presenting
both a serious challenge and an opportunity to move forward for North
American goods-producing industries.
“As more and more information
is being generated, whether from
downstream sources, social media or
through much more digitization and
automation of the enterprise, that
information can be either an asset or
liability,” Jacobson stated in his confer-
ence keynote address.
“For leading companies it’s an asset
that they will want to harvest as much
as they can to put it in the context of
individual roles, so that an operator on
a packaging line knows how that asset
is performing, and either shut it down
and do preventive maintenance or do
the right corrective maintenance,”
stated Jacobson. “That same information is also just as important for plant
managers, CEOs and CFOs of the
companies, to help them understand
how shopfloor-level manufacturing is
affecting their business.”
Said Jacobson: “If we want more flexibility, agility, reliability and better
response time, we need to optimize our
resources and our cost optimization to
understand all the inputs and outputs,
share an integrated view across all my
operations to understand where I’m
performing or underperforming, and
create a way to deliver the information
and put it in the context of the operators, the engineers, the plant maintenance department, plant managers, and
customer service and sales reps.
“It’s all about information and how
we get at it,” said Jacobson, cautioning
the conference audience of about 600
engineering and management professionals from across North Americanbased manufacturing enterprises about
the pitfalls of “underestimating” the
value of using information to build a
“collaborative process architecture” to
improve their competitiveness.
CANADIAN PACKAGING • WINTER 2012
AUTOMATE NOW
“I would guess that 10 years from
now about 60 per cent of the companies
represented at this conference will no
longer be around,” he warned, because
of failure to adapt to the new global
manufacturing dynamics unleashed by
the rapid “convergence of IT and OT
(operational technologies) in a collaborative dictatorship.”
Said Jacobson: “This is no longer the
old push-based manufacturing, but
rather about understanding from the
customer back, from the point of consumption—what is the product that we
need to design, produce and deliver to
our customers?
“So that if a machine or another asset
goes down in your manufacturing
process, you will not only understand
what it does to that workcell and that
production line, but also you map out
that impact to still be able to deliver
your product to the customer,” he
explained.
“As companies are becoming more
forward-looking, the need to constantly aggregate, visualize, propagate,
analyze and contextualize is not going
to go away because such companies
will not care about what has already
happened, but rather where they are
going,” Jacobson stated.
“These
companies are building
information architectures to accommodate that shift—starting with the
machines and other physical aspects of
their operations to develop computer
models that will manage data over its
life-cycle, mine that data, dissimilate
it, and use it to understand how to be
predictive about their suppliers, logistics, sourcing, etc.
“It’s really all about taking manufacturing data and information and putting into the context of the business to
understand how you’re going to perWINTER 2012 • CANADIAN PACKAGING
form, based on how you did before,
to formulate a pattern-based strategy
that will reach right to the very granular sources of information such as the
PLCs (programmable logic controllers),
motion controls, blowmolders, etc.
“Our existing systems were built
for much simpler times and deployed
by skillsets that aren’t there any
more,” Jacobson noted, “but that is all
changing as businesses accept the need
to become more forward-looking,
especially in these volatile times.
“This means deploying much higher
levels of automation, tags, sensors and
other devices to understand how they
impact equipment multi-tier value changes throughout the process to answer all
the key questions,” he expanded.
Opportune Moment
“What is the opportunity? If energy
costs continue to rise, how do I adjust
my processes to still produce a highquality product at the lowest cost,
while still getting a decent margin to
remain profitable? If there’s a natural
disaster, where can I shift my capacity
to continue to supply the demand in
the affected region? If I want to enter
a new market, do I have to spend a lot
of money on tax and tariffs to get my
equipment into the market, or is there
a local partner offering an opportunity
to outsource?
“If I can fully understand my leading
indicators to predict how my business
will perform, the odds are that I will
see much better delivery capabilities
to my customers, much shorter cashto-cash cycles, and more customer
loyalty, which means repeat business,”
Jacobson stated.
Possessing such capabilities is becoming especially critical in the current
contest of global population explosion,
according to Jacobson, which is driving
virtually insatiable demand for limited
energy resources around the world.
“In the last 25 years we’ve seen some
significant energy price peaks and valleys,” he noted, “but if we look at the
changes just in the past 11 years alone, we
are looking at a 29-per cent rise in cost.
“So for the highly automated manufacturing operations, it becomes vital
to understand their energy costs in
real time to determine what assets are
energy-efficient and which ones are
sapping energy,” Jacobson added.
“Energy costs are something that can
literally kill companies price-wise, as
can the price of raw materials, feedstocks and other such key variables,”
he remarked, “and the end of the
day, having this kind of visibility and
capability to understand your yields
and your costs in real time will help
you grow your business.”
Said Jacobson: “There is real longterm value in knowing how responsive
you can be, how flexible you can be, if
you’re able to predict whether you can
fi ll demand for your product, if all your
assets are working properly, if you can
handle a higher mix or higher volume
of the product, if you can go from bottling a six-pack to bottling a 12-pack,
or even going from a hot-fi ll to a coldfi ll process on a given production line.
“Being able to predict those kinds of
capabilities, and understanding where
my opportunities for investment lie is
absolutely key for manufacturers who
want to remain competitive in this new
era of more dynamic and more customercentric manufacturing,” Jacobson
concluded.

New flexible machine control offers
100% flexibility of your machines.
Optimized control; shorter time to market.
Flexible Machine Control
Machines today need to be faster, more flexible, and must be able to solve more
complex automation functions than ever before. As a machine builder you must
constantly look at innovative ways to build more energy-efficient machines, reduce
development costs, and get your machines to market much faster.
To reach 100 percent flexibility and optimization,
flexible machine control incorporates predefined
and proven automation architectures and functions
and embeds intelligence in multiple hardware control
platforms. A single software suite helps you to
develop, program, and commission your machines.
Flexible Machine Control has made this history. Flexible machine control
incorporates SoMachine™, a single software suite that runs on multiple hardware
control platforms to achieve 100 percent machine flexibility: HMI, motion, drive,
and logic controllers. With SoMachine, you need only one software, one cable,
and one download to design, commission, and service your machines from a
single point. SoMachine minimizes your work and capitalizes on each design.
One Software
Environment
Flexible machine control is part of our brand-new MachineStruxure™ solution,
designed to take complexity out of the business. The MachineStruxure solution
also includes:

CHECKOUT SHANNON KAUPP
S
o nice to see
that environmentallyfriendly packaging
doesn’t have to
mean plain brown
cardboard anymore. Nowadays many
CPG (consumer packaged goods)
companies—be they mainstream or
not—really seem to be paying serious
due to the long-established 3 R’s mantra of Reduce, Reuse and Recycle. It
is no longer unusual to see recyclable
or reusable consumer packaging at the
retail level, and there is also plenty of
packaging reduction taking place by
progressive companies responding to
the better-informed, packaging-savvy
consumers who are not so easily fooled
these days by wishy-washy environmental claims of debatable merit.
Headquartered in the environmentally
progressive San Franciso, household
and personal-care cleansers manufacturer Method Product Inc. offers
compelling proof that it’s possible to be
stylish and green at the same time with
its recent collaborations with Disney
Consumer Products to provide parents with a kid-friendly, eco-minded
option via the Method Mickey Mouse
and Method Minni Mouse foaming
hand wash liquid soaps. Featuring the
iconic head and mouse ear silhouettes
designed into the 8.5-ounce containers—made exclusively from postconsumer recycled plastic—to provide
repository for the foaming suds, the
eye-catching containers are smartly
decorated with clean, minimal labeling and complementary trademarks
that tastefully enhance the package
design, rather than obstruct it with
excess type and product
info. With an ingenious lockable pump
built into into
the container’s
snout to prevent accidental
spilling
when
not in use, having
this adorable container near the sink
74 • WWW.CANADIANPACKAGING.COM
has really helped make my kids only
too happy to remember to wash their
hands before and after meals.
With its implicit promise of divine
diva decadence, the 200-gram jars of
Diva Girl Body Bath Melts from the
Edmonton, Alta.-based Diva Girl
Body Inc. are adorned with colorful
but subtle labels—a slightly different
one for each of the more than a dozen
inspired formulations utilizing extracts
of cranberry, coconut, pomegranate, pineapple, vanilla and other neotropical delights—that playfully invite
consumers to pick them off the shelf
for closer scrutiny by leaving plenty of
see-thorough space for an up-close and
personal examination of the contents.
Crowned with a standard silver screwtop lid, the clear-plastic containers are
one of those packages
that practically beg
to be refilled and
reused after being
emptied of their
unique, individually-shaped melts
varied with the formulation’s scent. My
personal favorite so far—the Peppermint/
Cocoa melts shaped into little icecubes—are a perfect match for the eyecandy label adorned with a stylish splash
of pink, white, brown and green mixed
stripes and polka dots. For their part,
the see-through back labels are also kept
to minimal dimensions to help keep
the product inside visible from virtually every angle—making a charmingly
irresistible sales pitch for a luxurious,
self-indulgent bath experience.
Some packaging habits are harder to
break than others for certain products.
Take lip balm, which is almost invariably packaged in those rigid little plastic cylindrical hardshells that seem to
pack at least as much throwaway packaging material as the product itself.
Hence it was so refreshing to across the
Hurraw! black cherry tinted lip balm—
manufactured by Montana-based
Hurraw! Balm from all-natural,
Vegan-certified, fair-trade ingredients
like almond, coconut, jojoba, olive
and other plant-based oils—in sensible
4.3-gram oval-shaped tubes that are
claimed to be designed so as “not to
escape from your back pocket,” according to the company. Each
intriguing flavor is colorcoded via the matching
product label, and they
are shipped to retailers in
handy 24-pack boxes—
made from 100-percent
post-consumer recycled
paperboard
cartons—
which effortlessly fold out
into an attractive countertop display at the stores’
checkout counters.
Energy drinks have become so commonplace that they’re often hard to
tell apart on a busy shelf because of
the loud packaging graphics promising a magical, instant pick-me-up.
But PepsiCo’s new Gatorade Prime
Activator Pre-Game beverage—a concentrated blend of carbohydrates and
B vitamins formulated to help serious
athletes sustain optimal performance
levels—makes a compelling statement
on sensible packaging sustainability with the 25-gram, polyfoil
stand-up drink pouches small
enough to toss into the tiniest gymbag or backpack,
while being able to stand up
on its own base thanks to the
clever hourglass shape that
also makes it easier to grip.
Emblazoned with the brand’s
iconic letter G with a lightning bolt striking through
it, the fully-recyclable pouch
makes the product visible
enough to the naked eye through the
lightning-shaped cutout to let consumers quickly choose their flavor by color,
while the angular top with a perforated
tear ensures a fairly easy access to that
extra pre-workout boost.
