Matthews Australasia (Stand 360) will demonstrate a range of coding, labelling, inspection and integration solutions this year.

The company’s general manager of operations Mark Dingley says the last year has included the launch of several new coding technologies which will be seen at AUSPACK.

“Manufacturers are always searching for productivity and efficiency improvements in their working capital, and these launches set a new benchmark in ease-of-operation and maintenance as well as overall improvement in cost-of-ownership compared with existing technologies,” Dingley said.

“We think every manufacturer will find this exciting, and the technologies are so ground-breaking that we’ve entered three of them into the AUSPACK Best New Product Awards, which are sponsored by the magazine PKN.” 

Dingley said the coding specialist would also showcase a variety of technologies including its award-winning iDSnet Enterprise and iDSnet Manager reporting software, small character continuous inkjet coders, thermal transfer over printers, lasers, large character drop-on-demand printers, label applicators and label-print applicators.

Matthews’ popular Chameleon Bar will also open for drinks and refreshments from 3:30pm each day of AUSPACK.

“Come and join us to discuss the latest in manufacturing trends and best practice from around the world in identification and inspection technologies,” Dingley stated.

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?
