Exploring Packaging Line Integration Techniques
Rockwell Automation
Packaging lines are frequently made up of varying equipment types containing disparate control systems, programming styles, & performance data, even when industry standards such as ISA-88 & PackML are followed. This makes integration of these assets in to line control & line performance systems a challenge. While most manufacturers strive to continually optimize their production, integration of new packaging line assets is frequently a time consuming & costly task. Learn how new line integration concepts & technologies are enabling manufacturers to acquire machines with pre-tested equipment control & information interfaces in that integrate seamlessly with a flexible line control & performance management system.

Efficient, Precise Motion Control with Linear Motion
Jacobs Automation
Hear about how emerging linear motor based intelligent track (iTRAK®) technology is changing application solutions across the industry. This session will look at the evolution of the iTRAK® system by Jacobs Automation. While previous motion control systems have been constrained by mechanical limitations like the pitch of a chain or the speed of a particular line, iTRAK® makes it possible to place multiple movers (or carriages) on a track & independently control the motion profile for each mover as a virtual axis. Learn how machine builders are able to increase the speed & flexibility of their products & reduce their design & assembly costs, while end users experience dramatically increased productivity with higher throughput, faster changeovers & lower maintenance.”
