Overview
Efficiently automating packaging machines
From dosing and filling to transporting, Siemens provides
support for individual and efficient system solutions for any
packaging machine from beginning to end. For all industries,
whether Food & Beverage, Non Food or Pharmaceuticals, we
rely on our holistic and integrated automation solutions for
maximum reliability and availability. With a common standard for
automation and communication and for open and modular
concepts, we have been providing solutions for every need for
many years. And, not least, we are also the perfect partner for
realizing the individual requirements of the respective
packaging machine.
System-based implementation of individual solutions
Individualization and modularization in mechanical engineering
also imply growing demands for packaging machines, to which
we do justice with our Packaging Toolbox for all aspects of drive
and automation technology. The solutions for the individual
machine types are both segment-dependent and machine type-
dependent.
With the SIMATIC, SIMOTION and SINAMICS system families,
Siemens offers a wide range of automation products for every
packaging machine, which allow Siemens to provide a perfectly
tailored solution.
A large number of machine types, such as horizontal or vertical
tubular bag machines, deep-drawing/tray-seal machines, filling,
labeling, packaging, cartoning, palletizing and transporting
machines, can be precisely implemented with our applications
for the respective system.
The innovative Multi-Carrier System solution ensures greater
flexibility for production processes:
The integration of linear motor technology into plant mechanics,
combined with powerful control technology, allows innovative
transport solutions for the production of batches of just 1 in
series production.

Benefits
•
A large number of freely available applications in our
Packaging Toolbox allows easy configuration, handling and
operation of the motion controller
•
Efficient automation of the packaging machines, e.g. through
easy adaptation by means of parameterization and project
generation, and the use of open, preconfigured and fully
tested blocks
•
International standards such as OMAC (Organization for
Machine Automation and Control) and Weihenstephan are
universally usable and permit standardization in programming
and seamless line integration
•
Integration of many industry-wide standards such as
PROFINET, PROFIsafe or OPC UA facilitates the integration
into existing systems
•
Flexible design of automation and drive architecture due to
modular control, Motion Control and drives portfolio
