Mechatronics technology supports food packaging machinery to increase automation. A few years ago, automation technology only accounted for 30% of the packaging machinery design, and now it has accounted for more than 50% of a large number of use of microcomputer design and mechanical and electrical integration control to improve the degree of automation of food packaging machinery. The automatic design of food packaging machinery has the following two main characteristics: First, each robot is controlled by a separate computer. A food packaging machine needs to be completed by multiple robots to complete complex packaging actions. Information is captured by computer-controlled cameras. And under monitoring, the robotic manipulator completes the prescribed actions according to the instructions of the computer program to ensure the quality of the food packaging. Secondly, it has the high resolution capability of the material and the thickness. In the food packaging process, the thickness and the material change of the packaging material are not easy for the human eye. To distinguish, in the design of packaging machinery often use computer-controlled cameras and detectors to distinguish the thickness of packaging materials and material changes, the camera has now developed to be able to self-examination and identification of the image of the camera, and displayed on the display.

The food packaging machinery currently favored by industrialized countries is a horizontal pillow type microcomputer control, and a food packaging machine equipped with a servo motor and a power control device with good film tension. The automated operation program has been applied to more advanced packaging systems, such as The application of PLG equipment and data collection system represents the trend of advanced packaging systems. To ensure a high level of productivity, automatic inspection systems and highly efficient automation systems are essential. The packaging industry uses lighter materials to reduce shipping costs, uses specially designed components and systems to shorten production time, and works with suppliers and manufacturers to provide multiple packaging operations with minimal use of materials. In the future, microelectronics, computers, industrial robots, intelligent and image sensing technologies will be increasingly used in packaging machinery, and packaging machinery will tend to be automated, highly efficient, and energy-saving.
