Challenge	ACMA, a Coesia company, is a leading firm in the design and construction of automatic packaging machines for consumer goods. Despite their success, they faced a significant challenge in developing a new flexible, smart, and high-speed automatic feeding system for their wrapping machines. The company needed to ensure faster time-to-market, a smaller footprint, and higher productivity. The challenge was to find a solution that could meet these requirements while also being sustainable and flexible. The company had been partnering with an undisclosed firm for over two decades, implementing their motion control and industrial automation solutions. However, the need for a more advanced solution was evident to keep up with the evolving market demands and to maintain their competitive edge. Read More
About Customer	ACMA is a Coesia company that specializes in the design and construction of automatic packaging machines for consumer goods. The company has a rich history and has been a significant player in the industry for many years. ACMA is known for its commitment to innovation and quality, always striving to deliver the best solutions to its customers. The company has a wide range of clients, from small businesses to large corporations, and caters to various sectors, including food, beverage, personal care, and pharmaceuticals. ACMA's partnership with an undisclosed firm for over two decades demonstrates its commitment to long-term relationships and continuous improvement. Read More
Solution	To address the challenge, ACMA turned to EcoStruxure Machine solution, which included industrial robotics and digital twin software. The EcoStruxure Machine solution is a comprehensive, IoT-enabled framework that allows for the seamless integration of smart devices, systems, and services. The solution's industrial robotics component provided the necessary flexibility and speed for the automatic feeding system. The digital twin software, on the other hand, allowed ACMA to create a virtual model of the system, enabling them to test and optimize the system before actual implementation. This not only reduced the time-to-market but also minimized the risk of potential issues during the deployment phase. The solution's smaller footprint and higher productivity were in line with ACMA's objectives, making it an ideal choice for their needs. Read More Log in to view content
