Automation of a packaging line

Digitize and automate packaging line

Duracell in Heist-op-den-Berg partnered with Contec to digitize and automate their packaging line, replacing multiple software tools with our integrated CPMS 3 solution. This initiative aimed to:

  • Streamline operations
  • Reduce software licences
  • Enhance production visibility

The challenge

Paperless production floor

Duracell faced several challenges with their existing setup:

  • Reliance on a range of papers, Excel sheets, and various software tools.
  • High burden on shop floor staff and difficulties in onboarding temporary workers.
  • Limited visibility into the production process.
  • Numerous software licenses and associated maintenance costs.

Our approach

Efficient, manageable and cost-effective packaging line

To address these challenges, Contec integrated CPMS 3: Our in-house developed production software was installed on the shop floor, replacing the disparate tools.

Thanks to this implementation, Duracell benefited from:

  • Streamlined operations: The integrated software reduced the complexity of managing multiple systems, easing the workload for staff.
  • Enhanced production visibility: CPMS 3 provided a comprehensive view of the production process, enabling better monitoring and decision-making.
  • Cost reduction: By consolidating software tools, the number of licenses and maintenance costs were significantly reduced.

This collaboration resulted in a more efficient, manageable, and cost-effective packaging line for Duracell.
