B&R Automation displayed a gamut of solutions at Plastindia 2015. The company talked about the ultrafast automation reACTION technology, which helps to reduce cycle times in industrial automation down to 1 µs allowing extremely time-critical sub-processes to be managed using standard hardware. Another solution on display was that of a single cable technology for servo motor. In addition to that B&R talked about the 3-axis servo drive which offers a power density of 4A for a litre, making it one of the most efficient servo drives with integrated safety functions in the market.
The company offered industrial PCs designed and built to meet industrial customers’ demands for maximum robustness, reliability and long-term availability. These include performance classes with Intelprocessors –Core i3|i5|i7.Alsobeing talked about at the event was B&R’s MAPP technology, application software for automation. These modular software blocks simplify the development of new programmes and reduce the development time for new machines and systems by an average of 67%. MAPP eliminates recurring programming tasks for developers by providing preconfigured blocks that are easy to use and already extensively tested.
B&R’s energy monitoring solutions for industries were promoted at Plastindia. The company offers a wide range of energy monitoring solutions for PLCs, drives and even entire process control systems. The B&R drive system is highly dynamic, but optimized for energy efficiency through energy regeneration, true power factor correction, an intelligent cooling concept and a shared DC bus for all inverters. Through direct control of LinMot linear motors, the B&R drive system is an efficient replacement for costly pneumatics. Intelligent autotuning further reduces energy costs by preventing oscillating control loops. Readymade solutions for variable speed pump drives tap the potential for energy savings on hydraulic machines was well attended. Tanmay Soni, senior sales and application engineer of B&R Automation, said that it had received a good response at the show.
The impact, resilience, and growth of responsible packaging in a wide region are daily chronicled by Packaging South Asia.
A multi-channel B2B publication and digital platform such as Packaging South Asia is always aware of the prospect of new beginnings and renewal. Its 16-year-old print monthly, based in New Delhi, India has
demonstrated its commitment to progress and growth. The Indian and Asian packaging industries have shown resilience in the face of ongoing challenges over the past three years.
As we present our publishing plan for 2023, India’s real GDP growth for the financial year ending 31 March 2023 will reach 6.3%. Packaging industry growth has exceeded GDP growth even when allowing for inflation in the past three years.
The capacity for flexible film manufacturing in India increased by 33% over the past three years. With orders in place, we expect another 33% capacity addition from 2023 to 2025. Capacities in monocartons, corrugation, aseptic liquid packaging, and labels have grown similarly. The numbers are positive for most of the economies in the region – our platform increasingly reaches and influences these.
Even given the disruptions of supply chains, raw material prices, and the challenge of responsible and sustainable packaging, packaging in all its creative forms and purposes has significant headroom to grow in India and Asia. Our context and coverage engulf the entire packaging supply chain – from concept to shelf and further – to waste collection and recycling. We target brand owners, product managers, raw material suppliers, packaging designers and converters, and recyclers.
