Automated product change-over system
Many production lines face inefficiencies due to lengthy and complex change-over processes. Manual adjustments can cause significant downtime and increase the likelihood of errors, leading to reduced overall productivity.
Automate and streamline your line change-overs
The LineXpress by Krones is designed to automate and coordinate every step of the change-over process in your production line. This system reduces the time needed for product change-overs to as low as 10 minutes and format change-overs to up to 30 minutes. By automating essential steps and guiding the operator through the remaining ones, LineXpress minimizes errors and maximizes efficiency. With this system, your line’s overall equipment effectiveness can increase by up to 20 percent. Ideal for multi-format lines, it allows simultaneous execution of various process steps, minimizing the need for manual intervention. The system is particularly beneficial in industries with a broad range of products, such as beverage bottling, where quick and accurate change-overs are critical for maintaining high productivity.
