The Evolution of Digital Packaging: Integrating IoT and Intelligent Automation

Thursday, 06/2/2022

Digital packaging is evolving rapidly with IoT, big data, and intelligent automation driving industry transformation. Guangdong Kenwei’s cloud-based interconnection systems and servo-controlled manipulators offer flexible, efficient packaging solutions that enhance traceability, remote monitoring, and production automation in today’s smart factories.

With the rapid development of mobile Internet and digital technologies, the packaging industry is undergoing a significant transformation. The integration of the Internet of Things (IoT) and big data is accelerating the shift from traditional packaging to advanced digital packaging, meeting growing consumer demands for smarter and more connected products.


Generations of Digital Packaging

  • First Generation: Focused on basic functionalities such as anti-counterfeiting and traceability. Products employed simple QR codes to provide consumers with easy access to product information.

  • Second Generation: Integrated printed electronics, RFID, and explicit technology to enable smarter applications, adding more interactive and data-driven features to packaging.

  • Third Generation: Utilizes cutting-edge technologies like NFC, blockchain, AR, IoT, and Internet technology, enabling seamless integration between packaging production lines and enterprise systems (ERP). This facilitates remote maintenance, real-time data evaluation, and intelligent control.

Guangdong Kenwei’s “Cloud Configuration” Intelligent Interconnection System

Leading the digital packaging revolution, Guangdong Kenwei has developed the “Cloud Configuration” system, featuring:

  • A modular, highly integrated design utilizing CAN bus technology and the Modbus industrial communication protocol.

  • IoT-enabled remote monitoring and intelligent control via multiple devices including computers, smartphones, and tablets.

  • Automated data collection and production line supervision, combining advanced weighing packaging technologies with intelligent control systems for superior operational efficiency.


Intelligent Control Systems for Packaging

  • Extranet Intelligent Control: Uses Ethernet, GPRS, WiFi, 3G/4G networks combined with IoT-capable touch screens to enable efficient equipment monitoring, data analysis, and management.

  • Intranet Intelligent Control: Adds a network module to device mainboards, seamlessly connecting with SCADA systems and integrating with ERP and MES software. This builds fully automated smart factories, improving equipment automation, production efficiency, and profitability.


Flexibility Trends in Digital Packaging Equipment

Increasing demands for equipment flexibility have led to:

  • More servo motors replacing traditional PLC logic functions.

  • Integrated motion and logical control solutions that unify programming languages and physical/logical interfaces for easier customization and adaptability.


Application Spotlight: Guangdong Kenwei’s Four-Axis Parallel Manipulator

Utilizing a servo motor control system paired with visual detection devices, this manipulator:

  • Performs fast, precise automatic grabbing, box loading, and intelligent palletizing at the top of production lines.

  • Offers superior flexibility compared to horizontal machines, adapting easily to various products with interchangeable vacuum fixtures.

  • Supports complex packaging needs in industries such as pharmaceuticals (e.g., blister packs, medicine bottles, instructions, spoons) and confectionery (accurate placement of assorted chocolates).
