NHP unpack technologies that benefit the packaging industry
Joining forces, Australian Institute of Packaging (AIP) and NHP hosted a site visit to NHP’s National Manufacturing and Distribution Center in Laverton, VIC. With AIP members from across the country in attendance, it was a great opportunity to show industry thought leaders and technologists an insight into NHP’s operations, capabilities and offerings – in particular our OEM capabilities.
The visit included an interactive tour of the manufacturing plant, as well as the Solar Plant Room that houses the invertors and controls for the 97.5Kw solar system installed on the roof of the facility. The plantroom was showcased, along with the warehouse and logistics section where over 5000 line items are picked, packed and shipped each day.
In an effort to deliver a greater understanding of enabling technologies NHP can provide, NHP experts discussed a range of hot topics and how they apply to those in the packaging industry. Such topics included process design, product development, automation and MES technologies, including power programming and delay accounting.
Acknowledging the overlap between the industries both NHP and the guests in attendance serve, NHP’s Business Development Manager – OEM, Les Cutajar, was conscious of the requirement for advances in machine controls and the ongoing challenge to use equipment in the most effective way.
“At NHP we’re proud to assist customers, like AIP members, with the selection and application of innovative technology to complement their industry processes and functionality requirements”, Mr. Cutajar said following the visit.
“With an asset like the National Manufacturing and Distribution Center, NHP has the ability to display our comprehensive offering whilst ensuring knowledgeable staff are available to explain benefits we can provide different industries”.
