The Konica Minolta Australia team will be on-hand at AUSPACK to showcase the company's emerging technology portfolio, with particular focus on the FMCG sector.

Konica Minolta has key partnerships that extend its offering into future products, such as robotics, data analytics and 3D. At AUSPACK on Stand D020, the company will be shining a spotlight on its portfolio of products, including its latest 3D printers and autonomous mobile robots.

X7 Industrial Composite Printer

Built from the ground up for reliable performance, the X7 (see main pic) delivers breakthrough quality and precision in 3D printing, says Konica Minolta.

The top-of-the-line industrial-grade platform features a strengthened dual nozzle print system that supports continuous carbon fibre and kevlar reinforcement. 

According to the company, laser inspection scans parts mid-print to ensure dimensional accuracy for the most critical tolerances.

According to Konica Minolta, the Figure 4 Standalone DLP system delivers ultra-fast, low volume production and fast prototyping in the tens and hundreds of industrial-grade parts per month.

The production-grade materials available for Figure 4 include a broad and expanding range of industrial, dental and custom materials "to enable true replacement of injection moulding and urethane casting".

CCEP has completed a $39.7m manufacturing upgrade at its Kewdale facility in WA, installing a high-speed can production line that increases capacity by more than 40% and lifts production speeds to 1500 cans per minute.

Nearly 6 in 10 Aussies in food and beverage manufacturing believe their organisation is becoming less productive, despite continued investment in workplace technology, according to Argon & Co.

Every food, drink, personal care and household product made in Australia starts with an investment decision. A company chooses to replace a production line, automate a process or expand a plant. That choice is now made in a global market for capital, and Australia is struggling to compete. The question is simple. Will the next generation of manufacturing investment come here?
