MaintBoard for Packaging & Printing
CMMS for Packaging & Printing Plants
Maximize machine uptime. Reduce rejections. Improve printing & packaging line efficiency.
MaintBoard helps packaging and printing manufacturers manage laminators, slitters, flexo presses, rotogravure lines, cutters, conveyors, and downstream equipment with complete reliability and quality control.
Key Benefits
- Reduce unplanned stoppages across packaging and printing lines
- Improve OEE with consistent PM and inspection routines
- Prevent print defects and packaging quality issues
- Gain real-time visibility across production equipment
Typical Maintenance Challenges in Packaging & Printing Plants
- Frequent Machine Stoppages
- Breakdowns in laminators, slitters, rewinders, and printing lines cause production delays and missed delivery schedules.
- Quality Issues & High Rejections
- Improper machine condition leads to print defects, misregistration, bubbling, wrinkles, or lamination inconsistencies.
- Untracked Spare Parts
- Rollers, bearings, doctor blades, heaters, tension sensors, and print consumables run out without warning.
- Inconsistent PM & Cleaning
- Critical PM tasks—roller cleaning, blade checks, tension calibration—are often skipped.
- Lack of Equipment History
- Technicians cannot quickly troubleshoot recurring faults without past repair and breakdown history.
- Slow Root-Cause Identification
- Production losses remain high due to poor tracking of stoppage reasons, downtime, and defects.
