Packaging Line Automation: Reducing Changeover Time 50%

Thursday, November 12, 2026
5:30 PM - 7:00 PM
The Pfister Hotel
How food and beverage manufacturers are cutting changeover time in half with smart packaging line design.

About This Event

If your packaging lines take 45+ minutes for a product changeover, your throughput is suffering. Modern servo-driven systems and quick-change tooling can cut that to under 20 minutes. This session covers the engineering behind fast changeovers and brings real data from three Wisconsin food manufacturers. Best for: plant engineers, packaging managers, and continuous improvement leaders at food, beverage, and CPG manufacturers.
