First, the key market players are identified within the important market segments in the specified industry. After the identification of key players, the literature is surveyed in the context of eco- innovations, innovation adoption in emerging countries and Roger’s market adoption theory. In addition, the sustainability point of packaging and its perceived attributes are elaborated on and analyzed using the selected framework. Semi-structured interviews with the key market players in the food packaging industry are conducted in the context of adoption theory. The results of the survey reveal that there are only two groups in the industry, those that are currently considering bio-based plastic packaging and those that have not yet considered it. Due to the low number of completed questionnaires, advanced multivariate statistical methods cannot be used for data analysis.

  • Discussion on the Control Technology in the Design of Packaging Machinery
    Advances in Social Science, Education and Humanities Research (ASSEHR), volume 206 2018 International Conference on Advances in Social Sciences and Sustainable Development (ASSSD 2018) Discussion on the Control Technology in the Design of Packaging Machinery Gang Qiao 1School of Mechanical Engineering, Zhengzhou University of Industrial And Technology, 451100, China [email protected] Keywords: Packaging Machinery; Design; Control Technology Abstract: With the rapid development of China's economy, the number of enterprises in all walks of life is increasing.No matter food, daily necessities or large electrical appliances, any items should be packaged before they get out of the factory. Products of different quality and nature have different requirements for packaging. Some goods of special nature may require strict preservation of the environment. It is precisely because of the wide need for packaging, packaging has become a separate industry, and now its position is becoming more and more important in product chains. Good packaging can protect the goods from damage in the transportation and storage process, to avoid unnecessary economic losses. Packaging machinery plays an important role in the packaging process. The core content of packaging machinery, control technology, which is directly related to the quality of packaging, is fully discussed and studied in this paper. Preface Packaging machinery is an indispensable part of the packaging industry. The quality of packaging machinery is a very important factor which affects the quality of packaging and the efficiency of the factory production. The development of China's packaging industry is more backward than that in the West. The existing packaging technology and packaging machinery can not fully meet the requirements of the market for the types, quality, performance and number of packaging.

  • OMAC's Effort to Standardize Packaging Machinery Automation
    OMAC’s Effort to Standardize Packaging Machinery Automation: The role of OPW and PackML in development of “Gen3” packaging machinery By: Shelton Wright University of Florida – Packaging Science Program March 6, 2005 Faculty Contact: Dr. Bruce Welt University of Florida Coordinator – Packaging Science Program 111 Frazier Rogers Hall Gainesville, FL 32611-0570 Tel: 352.392.1864 x 111 Email: [email protected] INTRODUCTION An analysis of consumer behavior reveals that life cycles for packaging dimensions, materials, and designs are continuously decreasing. As a result, producers and end users of packaged goods need packaging machinery and control systems that enable them to react quickly to changing consumer demands. To address this problem, end users are requiring machinery and control suppliers to provide innovative solutions as they strive to maintain competitive advantages for packaged products. This inherent need for flexibility and efficiency is driving technological advances in packaging machinery automation and control systems. In addition to the increased responsiveness and agility needed to accommodate modern packaging, there is an increased push to make these adjustments in a “Lean Manufacturing” environment. The goal of lean production is to eliminate waste in all areas of production, increase responsiveness, and minimize costs. Ultimately, lean manufacturing demands highest levels of efficiency while achieving highest levels of quality. Successful implementation of lean manufacturing requires efficient integration of packaging machine automation and control systems into enterprise-resource planning (ERP) systems. Lack of standardization, however, limits communications and data transfer between production machinery and the supply chain. Proprietary, vendor- specific solutions may be inhibiting communications and raising interfacing costs.
