Packaging
Perceptively programmed optimisation
Monday 01. June 2009 - Preview report for drinktec 2009
Cutting your operating costs, saving space, increasing line efficiency levels, creating complete-system capabilities, using state-of-the-art technologies to expand the bandwidth of the products being handled, putting optimised hygiene and safety conditions in place, in short – creating need-responsive solutions: these are the driving considerations behind what Krones AG, Neutraubling, Germany, has developed for drinktec 2009. As a complete-system vendor, Krones has long since complemented its filling and packaging segments by in-house capabilities for process technology, information technology, intralogistics and factory planning – a logical step forward in the groups holistically inclusive strategy: a whole series of clients have already single-sourced their complete factories from Krones.
On the Krones stand in Hall B6, visitors will find high-performance systems for both wet and dry ends, intelligent IT solutions, customised material flow concepts, and much, much more.
The issue of sustainability also plays a prominent role among Krones exhibits. After all, the food and beverage industries, in particular, have made sustainability an integrative constituent of their brand images, in the full knowledge that more and more consumers nowadays decide for or against a brand on the basis of ecological criteria. Krones has taken this fact fully on board, and has accordingly incorporated the issue of sustainability in its enviro programme, which renders visible and tangible the economic and ecological commitment to responsible resource husbandry that Krones prioritises in its machinery design work, enabling the users of Krones technology to manifest their conservationist credentials.
Making optimum use of your capacities
How available capacities can be utilised to still better effect, how production costs can be permanently downsized: this is what Krones Life-Cycle Service (LCS) will be demonstrating with a variety of responsive programmes, including productivity optimisation, maintenance, support, design and training.
