SUN Automation Group: The Box Maker’s Guide To The Universe The corrugated box maker universe continues to expand amidst a challenging supply chain. Demand is up, supply is low and labor is lean. The economics of that scenar- io are clear. That said, most box plants have steadily kept pace and are persevering regardless of these challenges. In fact, their efforts have ensured the corrugated industry continues to see steady growth with no end in sight. The goal of OEMs, like SUN Automation Group (SUN), is to match this intensity with the right solutions. Its corru- gated guide to the universe includes a well-rounded suite of solutions and support that ensures the shortest path to the intended destination. Looking to reach higher productivity? The American made SUN625® Rotary Die Cutter has been delivering exceptional productivity with the highest level of contain- er quality since inception in 2009. Not your typical rotary die cutter, the SUN625 is a fixed-frame, vertically opening, flexo printing machine capable of feeding, printing, and converting. It is designed to produce high quality contain- ers in a 24/7 production environment. Today the SUN625® is running in multiple market segments: from high-through- put volume driven applications to the high-graphics con- tainer and display segments. Another robust, high performance machine available through SUN comes via its strategic partnership with Lati- tude Machinery Corp. (LMC). As a world-class manufactur- er of Rotary Die Cutters and Flexo Folder Gluers and with over 100 machine installations in North America, LMC has an outstanding reputation for reliability and throughput. As the exclusive North and Central America representative of all LMC machinery, SUN is well equipped to help box plants find the right RDC or FFG to fit their operation. While RDC and FFG keep up with production, material handling plays an important role in minimizing labor de- mands and maximizing equipment productivity. Filling the gap for end-to-end material handling needs, SUN turns to PARA. This strategic partnership was formed to ensure customers were taken care of from corrugator to shipping dock. PARA’s extensive product range includes pre-feed- ers, palletizers, RDC stackers, bundle breakers, pallet in- serters, vertical storage solutions, paper mill roll transports and unit conveyor systems. Representing the digital arm of corrugated converting solutions, SUN partnered with Highcon and answered the demand for converting without analogue tooling. Highcon provides patented digital finishing machinery that can help improve efficiency and fuel innovation for brands. Helios, the machine learning and IIoT platform from SUN, offers a solution which empowers box plant leader- ship to make more efficient decisions around when to or- der parts to prevent machine failure. This predictability en- ables box plants to optimize every minute of production. Visit SUN Automation Group at booth #601.
