Client Overview
A leading OEM in the packaging industry (client identity confidential) was seeking to improve the operational efficiency and reliability of their stacker feeder machines—an essential component in high-speed packaging lines.
The company had been struggling with frequent system downtimes, inefficient speed control, and inconsistent product throughput, all of which impacted their delivery timelines and operating costs.
The Challenge
The Challenge
Despite their machines being mechanically sound, the client faced three major issues:
Inconsistent Speed & Throughput: Existing motors and drives were unable to deliver stable performance under variable loads.
Manual Intervention: The absence of real-time machine insights led to delays in troubleshooting and adjustment.
High Maintenance & Downtime: Components frequently overheated or failed due to lack of optimization, leading to unplanned maintenance halts.
SmidMart’s Tailored Solution
SmidMart stepped in to revamp their system by supplying:
✅ Human Machine Interface (HMI): Enabled intuitive control, real-time performance monitoring, and simplified error diagnosis.
✅ High-Performance Motors: Delivered greater torque consistency and adapted well to fluctuating load conditions.
✅ Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs): Enabled smooth and precise motor speed control, reducing mechanical stress and improving energy use.
✅ Supporting Automation Components: Included quality connectors, relays, sensors, and protection units to ensure long-term system stability.
All components were selected from SmidMart’s trusted industrial automation product line, known for durability, compatibility, and performance optimization.
Implementation
SmidMart’s technical team worked closely with the client’s engineering staff to:
