Automated packaging equipment manufactured by Liquid Packaging Solutions is often equipped with vision systems to detect missing containers as well as prevent container backups and jams on the packaging line.
For example, sensors will "see" and count containers as they pass by, ensuring that applications such as filling and rinsing do not take place without the correct number of containers in place, thus avoiding spills and messes that can lead to lengthy downtime.
Similarly, production on one piece of packaging equipment can cause problems if a machine downline is not functioning properly. Sensors placed on a conveyor system to "see" bottles may stop a rinser, filler, capper, labeler or other machine from continuing until the path is clear, avoiding conveyor jams, spills and even more downtime.
These vision systems work to keep your production line up and running and minimize downtime when an issue does occur on a packaging system by not allowing the problems to multiply.
