Keeping packaging lines at peak efficiency is a challenge many manufacturers face. From installation and ramp-up to the Site Acceptance Test (SAT), teams work hard to reach the highest performance levels.
Yet, once production is running, maintaining that same standard over time can be difficult. Downtime creeps in, troubleshooting slows progress, and root causes are often hard to pinpoint.
This, according to BluePrint Automation (BPA), is where its digital support and service platform, called BluePerformance, can make a big difference.
BluePerformance is designed to sustain SAT-level performance throughout the life of the machine.
By combining advanced data capture, secure connectivity, and expert analysis, it helps customers accelerate ramp-up from installation to full operation, keep machines at peak efficiency over their lifetime, and minimise troubleshooting and intervention time when stops occur.
Instead of reacting to problems after they repeat, BluePerformance allows teams to see exactly what happened the first time, speeding up corrective action and reducing costly delays.
At its core, BluePerformance is said to be more than a monitoring tool – it is a complete performance platform.
According to BPA, packaging lines equipped with BluePerformance have consistently matched or exceeded their SAT performance long after commissioning.
“Thanks to video logs and real-time data, troubleshooting that once took hours can now be completed in a fraction of the time,” the company said.
“The impact goes beyond efficiency. Clear visibility of downtime causes builds confidence among operators and supervisors, making it easier to implement changes and maintain performance gains across shifts.”
BluePerformance is available as a modular service. Customers can choose the level of support that suits their operation – from hardware and software tools to full-service packages with ongoing expert analysis.
The system integrates seamlessly with BPA’s wider service portfolio, including inspections, preventive maintenance, training, and remote support.
“With BluePerformance, packaging lines are no longer left to slowly drift away from their best performance. Instead, they stay optimised, supported by data, video insight, and BPA’s dedicated expertise,” the company concluded.
“For manufacturers, that means higher availability, faster troubleshooting, and reliable output day after day.”
