Guanshentai automation equipment manufacturers learned that packaging is one of the most labor-intensive links in traditional food processing workshops. With the increasing aging of the population, the working-age population in my country is on a declining trend. The use of machinery to replace labor is an inevitable trend in the development of the food packaging industry. In addition, with the increasingly fierce competition in the food industry, food automation packaging technology can quickly process a large number of products in a short period of time and ensure a smooth supermarket supply chain, which has been favored by many enterprises and suppliers.

　　According to statistics, at present, food automatic packaging systems and robots have been able to handle 94% of the total business volume of the warehouse. In the process of food packaging, through the use of advanced robotic technology throughout the process, the production efficiency of the industry has been effectively improved and the competitiveness of the industry has been increased. It mainly has the following five advantages:

　　1. Improve productivity: In large-scale production, expanding production area or increasing manpower has no significant impact on productivity. The automated food packaging system packs a large amount of food in a short period of time, effectively increasing productivity by running for a long time.

　　2. Improve food safety and hygiene level: Food safety and hygiene issues have become a common concern all over the world. Automated packaging systems improve food safety and hygiene by reducing human-to-human contact and helping to eliminate or limit cross-contamination.

　　3. Improve the accuracy of operation: Under high-intensity production speed, the mistakes of employees may cause huge losses and injuries. Automated packaging systems provide greater precision in weighing and labelling.

　　4. Reduce labor costs and total expenditures: Although the initial investment cost of automation systems and robotics is high, due to the efficient production speed, the payback period is short.

　　5. Reduce production line bottlenecks and downtime: automated packaging can be tailored for different production lines, reducing operational errors and production bottlenecks, and without the need for fixed rest time, which can effectively reduce downtime. Under the influence of the new crown epidemic, the importance of robotics is particularly prominent.

　　With the continuous development of science and technology, the application scope of microelectronics, artificial intelligence, industrial robots, image sensing technology, etc. will become wider and wider. In the future, food packaging will gradually develop from automation to intelligence.
