Industrial automation has become a strategic pillar for competitiveness in the packaging industry. In this context, Murrelektronik joins Barcelona Packaging Hub as a new technology partner, contributing its expertise, innovation, and advanced solutions for the optimization of automated production lines.
Decentralized innovation for more efficient packaging lines
With more than 50 years of experience and a strong global presence, Murrelektronik is a benchmark in decentralized electrical automation technology. Its approach focuses on bringing signals, data, and power directly to the production process, eliminating the need for traditional control cabinets.
For the packaging industry, this model delivers key advantages: reduced footprint on the factory floor, simpler installations, greater flexibility when changing formats, and a significant reduction in maintenance time. These benefits are especially relevant for packaging lines that demand high availability, reliability, and the ability to adapt to increasingly demanding markets.
Modular solutions tailored to the packaging industry
Murrelektronik’s technology portfolio ranges from industrial connectors and I/O systems to power supplies and industrial communication solutions. A key highlight is Vario-X, a modular, cabinet-free system designed around a plug & play concept that enables fast and efficient integration of machines and modules.
This modular approach allows machine builders and packaging line integrators to respond more quickly to product variability, improve operational efficiency, and reduce unplanned downtime critical factors in highly automated production environments.
