What Is Packaging Line Integration?
Request More Information ›In the packaged goods industry packaging line integration is generally described as the process of designing, assembling, connecting, programming and commissioning a production line for packaged goods.
As a leader in the industry ZARPAC takes the definition of integration to the next level by adding a critical Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) performance commitment that no other vendor provides.
In a ZARPAC turnkey integrated packaging line, downtime caused by the line layout, the line design, machine placements within the line or from the controls system and programming is eliminated. In a ZARPAC designed lines the root cause sources of downtime are related to the operation and performance of individual machines and components in the line.
Why is an OEE performance commitment important?
Because anyone can provide a packaging line by installing equipment and connecting it together with conveyor. Nothing could be easier.
What is challenging, however, is designing lines that consistently deliver optimized OEE performance levels.
Achieving the ultimate goal of optimized OEE line performance is our sole mission in every turnkey packaging line design, integration and implementation project.
That means the line layout, design and controls are not responsible for downtime from starved machines or blocked machines, and that the line design is never the cause of downtime caused by stop-start-stop container flows.
It also means no productivity loss from below-target production speeds or from repeated slow-down and speed-up cycles.

What are the symptoms of poor packaging line design and integration?
- Packaging lines that experience chronic start-stop-start issues.
- Packaging lines that do not operate smoothly at target production speeds.
- Packaging lines that routinely operate below planned OEE targets.
- Packaging lines that experience downtime from inadequate accumulation capacity.
- Packaging lines that experience downtime from inadequate downline surge speeds required to empty accumulation tables.
- Packaging lines that intermittently experience periods of high or excessive back pressure are poorly designed.
