From conveying to assembly, many applications in today’s packaging lines can benefit from the energy efficiency and power of electrical linear motion. Emerson’s Aventics Series SPRA electric rod-style linear actuator is a cost-effective, high-performance solution, offering enhanced load capacity, accuracy and reliability CPGs need to maximize productivity. In addition to providing outstanding precision and repeatability, the Series SPRA is also extremely versatile and flexible, with a choice of three different screw technologies that allow implementation within a wide range of applications and can meet exacting application requirements. Compliance with the ISO-15552 standard, online selection tools and a wide range of mounting accessories ensures the appropriate implementation.
It’s estimated that food and beverage plants spend 30 percent of utility resources on clean-in-place operations and lose valuable time during changeovers — but they don’t have to. Emerson’s new CIP Utilities and Automated Reporting Analytics package delivers utilities monitoring and automated reporting for clean-in-place (CIP) and steam-in-place (SIP) applications. Designed for the food and beverage industries, the package can be delivered via PACEdge or Movicon.
Smart pneumatic sensors are highly effective sustainability tools that can help CPGs reliably save energy, reduce costs and meet ambitious targets. Emerson’s Aventics Series AF2 airflow sensor has successfully improved the energy efficiency of packaging equipment in a variety of applications, including food and beverage, personal care and even labels. Emerson now offers a high flow model of this advanced sensor that propels compressed air monitoring beyond individual machines to benefit larger air lines and systems. This expanded capability allows personnel to easily optimize energy consumption across an entire packaging facility and improve overall plant sustainability.
Movicon.NExT HMI/SCADA is a highly modular, highly scalable platform that goes beyond SCADA to solve automation problems for both CPGs and original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), from the single machine level to a complete plantwide industrial internet of things (IIoT) project implementation. Among Movicon.NExT modules, Movicon Pro.Lean provides performance data and analytics for evaluations of OEE and Movicon Pro.Energy measures and tracks consumption, while the advanced Movicon NExT.AR solves operational problems through visualization tools that allow personnel to evaluate previously unreachable equipment. For maximum flexibility, Emerson also provides Movicon WebHMI, an HTML5-based visualization tool that can be used as a stand-alone HMI product running on Windows or Linux operator panels, or as a Web Client for Movicon.NExT SCADA applications, as well as Connext, an industrial protocol gateway.
Industrial edge software and solutions help members of the packaging and food, and beverage process industries analyze and solve problems where they occur — at the machine edge. PACSystems Edge Solutions include the true edge controllers, edge computing devices and compact controllers and leverage Movicon.NExT, WebHMI, Connext OPC UA server and the PACEdge platforms in optimized software packages to provide powerful and flexible connectivity and visualization and a cloud-enabled toolset. PACSystems makes the move to the edge easy for members of the packaging and process industries.

It provides security-by-design, open programming and open communications built in, significantly reducing cost and complexity for OEMs and CPGs. A range of advanced features come standard, such as OPC UA communication over high-speed 1-Gb Ethernet and C programming capabilities, plus the advantages of Emerson support. In addition, it includes analytics and is IIoT-ready, future-proofing packaging and process systems for new technologies or existing equipment.
The Micro Motion 1600 Coriolis Transmitter is a power-over-ethernet transmitter that supports customers’ upgrades and retrofits. The Micro Motion 1600 Coriolis Transmitter is a scalable solution for facilities that want to make a gradual transition to remote flow data collection, monitoring and configuration. The smallest power-over-ethernet Coriolis transmitter on the market, the Micro Motion 1600 is available in aluminum or hygienic stainless steel, making it an appropriate solution for food and beverage applications.
