AI for packaging manufacturing

Catch the micro‑stopsyour line never reports.

B3 connects PLCs, vision systems, and ERP demand to balance lines, reduce scrap, and speed up changeovers.

High-speed converting and filling lines where micro-stops add up. Every stop is captured and coded automatically.

04What gets in the way

The data to fix these problemsalready exists.

It is just spread across systems and arrives too late.

Short stops add up across converting and filling lines, but they rarely reach a report.

Setup time varies by crew and SKU, and nobody can see which step is slipping.

Print, glue, and seal defects show up at end of line, long after the cause.

06Questions

Packaging operations, answered plainly.

What does B3 do for packaging manufacturers?

B3 connects PLCs, vision systems, and ERP demand to balance lines, reduce scrap, and speed up changeovers. Orion connects the data, including your CMMS, Neo shows line performance, stops, and changeovers in real time across shifts and plants, and B3rry traces a stop pattern back to the machine and the changeover and recommends what to check first.

How does B3 catch micro-stops?

Stops are captured from machine data instead of waiting to be logged on the HMI, then coded by machine and cause. The short stops that never reach a report become visible, along with the pattern behind them, such as jams that cluster in the first hour after a changeover.

Which parts of a packaging operation does B3 cover?

Material management (substrate flows, consumption, and waste), production line analytics (bottlenecks, maintenance, and OEE), sustainability tracking (recyclable content and energy use), and supply chain integration with suppliers and distribution.

Does B3 replace our PLCs, MES, ERP, or CMMS?

No. Orion connects to the systems you already run, along with historical data and legacy systems, and brings them into one view of the line. Nothing is ripped out or replaced.

How do we get started?

Book a demo or take the Signal-to-Action assessment. We connect to the systems you already run and show you what your data can already tell you.
