Scoping brief · Packaging lines
Packaging line controls & integration, end-to-end.
Packaging line controls and integration for form-fill-seal, converting, and web-handling lines — line-controls retrofit, HMI recipe management, vision-inspection tie-in, and throughput optimization under one crew, one schedule, one PO.
Form-fill-seal, converting, and web-handling lines — PLC migrations, HMI recipe refresh, vision tie-in, and throughput work delivered as one engagement. Same mechanical footprint, current vendor stack underneath.
When an OEM disappears, spares lead times stretch and the operator-interface language drifts. When a line hits a throughput ceiling, the bottleneck lives in one place and usually isn’t the one the spec sheet blames. Either way — Kraytek reverse-engineers the controls and re-platforms the line under one crew, one schedule, one PO.
Scope of a rebuild
Common engagements
Four engagements drawn from Kraytek’s packaging-vertical work. Lift one or stack them on the same line; each is sized to the operator’s day-to-day pain, not to a generic service line.
- Line-controls retrofit
- HMI recipe management
- Vision-inspection tie-in
- Throughput optimization
Delivered
One procurement chain, one installation crew, one commissioning sign-off. Mechanical footprint preserved; the line’s documentation stays in-house.
- Audit walkdown → ranked problem list engineering reads
- PLC + drive + HMI + instrumentation replaced under one PO
- Mechanical footprint preserved; operator-interface language preserved
- Re-validation against 21 CFR Part 11 / OSHA where applicable
- Documentation + spare-parts plan so the next decade of service stays in-house
- One procurement chain, one installation crew, one commissioning sign-off
Customer
Walkdown access and what engineering reads to write the first scope. No asset images, no formal spec sheets — just the information a line-controls engineer needs to rank the problems.
- On-site walkdown access — line layout, controls stack, fault history, and operator day-to-day pain
- The asset name + line type (e.g. form-fill-seal, converting, web-handling, vision station)
- A sentence or two on the symptom — throughput ceiling, recipe drift, vision reject rate
Process
How the engagement runs
Audit
On-site walkdown of the line: controls stack, I/O count, fault history, and the operator's day-to-day pain. Output: a ranked problem list engineering reads to write the first scope.
Retrofit
PLC, drive, HMI, and instrumentation replaced under one crew, one schedule, one PO. Mechanical footprint preserved; operator-interface language preserved.
Commission
Re-validation against 21 CFR Part 11 / OSHA where applicable. Documentation + spare-parts plan so the next decade of service stays in-house.
