A few weeks ago, The Product Design Show introduced viewers to 4Phases, a machine that packages tiles, bottles, and cans. Engineered by Creo customer, System Group, this industrial machine cuts the cardboard, prints the label, glues everything together, and packs the product inside.
In the video, Vince and Allison talk about many benefits of 4Phases, but I’d like to underline one in particular: Waste reduction.
Compared to a traditional packaging machine, 4Phases uses up to 80% less cardboard to box up a stack of tiles. According to Ceramic World, “If just 10% of the annual world ceramic tile production of 8.5 million square metres was packaged using this system, it would bring savings of 100 million square metres of cardboard in a year.”
That’s a big deal, especially in System’s home town of Fiorano Modenese, Italy. This past October, the municipality gave System its District Green Economy award, Green Technology category.
System Group is a global company with several divisions, including logistics, photonics, ceramics, and electronics. This isn’t the first time we’ve talked about the company, and The Product Design Show is already working on a second show on this diverse machinery company. Until then, congratulations to System Group for your well-deserved recognition!
