Packaging Lines
Custom Packaging Lines By EPIC
EPIC Line Integration specializes in the design, assembly and automation integration of custom packaging lines for better manufacturing. Our group of engineers works with you to understand your overall production strategy to bring optimum workforce utilization, equipment efficiency and manufacturing success to your factory. Outfitted to meet your specific needs for packing in the production process, EPIC's packaging systems can be mirrored to facilitate efficient operations across multiple lines, allowing a single team of operators to control multiple packing lines.
EPIC's engineers are well versed in specifying and implementing many different types of packing line equipment and systems. From years of plant engineering experience, we understand how machines must fit together and work together along the packaging line to achieve specific manufacturing objectives. Today's production standard often requires advanced technology, we have the ability to equip an integrated solution for even the toughest packaging system requirements. For example, EPIC has the ability to design packaging lines that use RFID tag technology at multiple levels from RFID tags for individual products to RFID tags for entire pallets.

Advantages to Packaging Automation
Agricultural products can be sensitive to human interaction or even present a hazard to workers. Packaging large amounts of products can be time consuming and costly. Installing a well designed automated consumer sized packaging line will help you:
- Reduce labor costs
- Reduce product damage and loss
- Improve safety
- Increase product quality
- Increase accuracy in filling
- Reduce cross-contamination
- Improve product freshness and cleanliness
- Increase operational flexibility
- Dramatically decrease packaging time
Why EPIC Systems
EPIC knows that our clients’ unique goals are the most important element when executing a project. We maintain a strong belief in accountability when managing our clients’ projects from start to finish, ensuring our projects are on time and on budget.
One of our experienced integration project managers will oversee your entire project from start to finish, ensuring easy communication and one point of responsibility. We begin every project by sitting down with you and establishing your goals, success criteria, and budgetary guidelines. From there we develop a detailed plan for your approval. By utilizing this front-end engineering approach we ensure that every project we complete is successful.
The following features make up the EPIC Difference:
- Front-End Engineering to ensure that the proper steps are taken during project scope development
- Plant engineering experience that assists clients to identify needs, pinpoint objectives and provide the most appropriate manufacturing equipment for the application
- Open door client policy to promote innovation. We invite clients to visit EPIC to experiment with new processes, technologies and techniques that push the limits of traditional engineering.
- Accountability to responsibly manage our clients' projects from start-to-finish and beyond.
- A transfer of knowledge (not just a basic training) for the systems and equipment we provide
- Single point of direct contact during the entirety of the project
- State-of-the-art shop which decreases down-time and increases the speed of project completion
Turnkey Packaging Lines
At EPIC, we work together with manufacturers using our EPIC Turnkey Advantage to bring exceedingly capable packaging lines to your production facility. We responsibly handle all aspects of the project to transform individual machines into integrated packing lines through all phases of:
- Packaging line evaluation - We start by evaluating the factors impacting their existing production lines or could affect your new packaging line. We also perform up-time and accumulation studies and Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) studies.
- Packaging line design - The design phase starts with preliminary design which uses Front-End Engineering to arrive at a basic line design. Detailed line design begins once a fixed bid is agreed upon.
- Line Integration - Mechanically making your line fit together and transition to the right system is achieved through various custom machine adjustments and simple line engineering methods.
- Line Controls - EPIC's in-house control engineers complete control system integration with either PLC or PC-based logic platform.
- Packaging line installation - Your packaging line is fully installed in-plant at your manufacturing facility and re-tested.
- Packaging line commissioning - Our group of engineers remain on-site through all aspects of production line start-up including validation, commissioning and checkout as well as turnover of all documentation to key plant personnel
