Digitize Packaging: Bizerba at the PPMA Show 2017

Across a three-stand layout, Bizerba introduces solutions around the topics of digital transformation, food safety, batch size, logistics and labels at this year’s PPMA Show. Current trends including industry 4.0, Internet of Things, predictive maintenance, the interaction of multiple systems as well as availability and service are all part of Bizerba’s solution portfolio.

Stand G10 – Convenience

CWE Combination Unit – demonstrating our fully integrated metal detector this device is to full higher-level M&S specification. With the addition of Brain2 FPV, Capture and Safety service, it demonstrates the full potential of high-speed checkweighing from Bizerba. The integrated metal detector boasts high detection accuracy with reliability.

BVS-L – An introductory inspection device from Bizerba with the ability to check fixed data on pre-printed films, and dynamically applied labels on both top and bottom of your pack. Checking everything from the position of the label, use by dates and readability of barcodes along with a multitude of additional checks. Connected to our Brain2 software the statistics and images of each inspected package are collated for future reporting.

Bizerba OCM Stand – Designed for integration at the end of your production line with multiple options available for additional equipment to be added at any time. Displayed on this stand we have our standard weighing platform connected to a GT12C touch screen display and our GLP80 labeller installed in an enclosure. Also attached is a barcode scanner for PLU selection from the retail packages.

X-Ray – The latest presentation for 2017 in our inspection range of equipment. Built to the higher-level M&S code of practice. Main features of this latest design is the ease of maintenance with belt changes and cleaning. Connected to the Bizerba dynamic devices offering automatic program change to allow a single point of product entry. This device is also connected to the Bizerba brain software displaying inspected products. Rejected items and the machines audit history is also uploaded for analysis should it be required.

iS75 – Our newest industrial PC with its sleek lines and high durability for the industrial environment. This device is displaying the information being gathered from the devices shown on this stand.

Stand H20 – Fresh

GLM-I100V – Part of the Bizerba flagship range of high speed labelling systems, it is capable of achieving a top speed of 100 packages per minute and being fitted with a v-belt, which, due to its inclined position can easily transport and label round or odd-shaped products. With its connection to the Bizerba brain software reach package weight is instantly recorded and saved to allow trend analysis to be carried out. The addition of our statistics capture software removes the need to record batch statistics manually or have endless streams of printouts. As we move into more diverse production demands the efficiencies of your production line can be monitored with our OEE system allowing instant live visuals of the current line performance.

Themosecure L – introduced in 2015 to fully compliment the bizerba range of end of line inspection equipment this device ensures that each package exiting the factory is fully inspected for label data and seal integrity. Dynamic calculations allow for this device to be used on both fixed and catch weight products to verify that the correct data is printed and can be fully validated before it gets to your end customer. Reduction of product recalls and error packages is eliminated with this device. Again, with its connection to the Bizerba brain software records of rejected packages are retained with statistical information and images.

iS20 Hygienic Scale – IP69 rated, this scale is designed to remain within the production area during routine wash down. Its fully welded, round frame along with its fully open design prevents any trapping of product waste or bacteria. Displayed within an isolated chamber showing water being sprayed on this device for the duration of the PPMA show.

Bizerba/Niche recipe station – a collaboration of Bizerba hardware and Niche software to allow the preparation of manufacturing batches of bulk items to ensure multiple ingredients are all weighed or counted in the most accurate and efficient manner reducing errors in the preparation stage and continuity of the final product. Along with the control of bulk, stock items at the order intake the system is capable of managing stock levels ensuring the production plan can be fulfilled.

iS75 – Our newest industrial PC with its sleek lines and high durability for the industrial environment. This device is displaying the information being gathered from the devices shown on this stand.

Stand J30 – MECH & Logistics

Production Bench - showing three static scale options with differing weight indicators.
Recessed into the table is our economy platform, which is connected to our iS30 indicator head. This terminal is connected to the Brain suite of software and is running sample check. This will prompt quality checks of product from the operators who will then follow a sequence of check to ensure that the off-line sampling is completed and that the required statistics records are updated.
In the middle of the table is our economy compact scale with an iS10 indicator head. This device features an internal battery allowing it to be used in areas without a permanent power supply. At the end of the day, it can simply be plugged back into the mains to charge ready for the following day.
As displayed on our fresh stand our hygienic scale is bolted to the table ensuring that it is secure and with its open design can be cleaned as part of the production bench. This scale is mounted with our iS20 indicator and is again connected to the brain software capturing each weight from the scale for analysis.
Additionally, on this production bench you find the Bizerba Brain server. From here, we can programme every machine connected to it, we have full remote control of all devices via the Bizerba e-service. Label designs, reports, schedules and stock levels can all be controlled from this single server. With the user level management, it is possible to ensure that users can only enter data and not send it to machines without the approval of a second or more senior user.

Hygienic lift up platform – Integrated into the stand floor this device is easily lifted to allow access for cleaning. The integrated ramp simply lifts off to revel the lifting handle where a simple and lightweight mechanism allows the device to be lifted to the cleaning position. Fully IP69 rated this scale can withstand the harshest of cleaning environments. Connected to this we have our iS30 indicator and barcode scanner. The scanner triggers the capture of the pallet or box weight where the two are collated within the Brain software and then automatically output to a separate location for importing into your ERP system allowing the calculation of product yield or parcel tracking.

Filling System – Another new offering from Bizerba this semi-automatic filling system demonstrates the power of the Bizerba iS50 indicator terminal with its ability to connect multiple scales allowing multiple stations to be controlled from a single device. The integrated PLC allows each station to be independently controlled. With its ATEX rating this is a perfect device for hazardous liquid filling.
