As packaging machines become faster and more complex, many builders run into the same challenge: scaling performance means adding controllers, increasing system complexity, and driving up engineering effort.
There is another way.
PC-based control allows packaging machines to scale in speed, flexibility, and functionality without multiplying hardware or replacing existing PLCs.
Beckhoff enables packaging machine builders to:
- Control 100+ axes from a single Industrial PC as machine complexity grows
- Gain plant-wide data visibility across mixed-vendor equipment without rip-and-replace
- Simplify engineering with Python, C#, and IEC 61131-3—accessible to both computer science and controls engineers
- Adapt faster to new package formats through software-based changeovers
- Access free technical support and TwinCAT training to accelerate development
Whether you're designing new machines or evolving existing platforms, Beckhoff can help. |
