LEVERAGING AUTOMATION AND INDUSTRY 4.0
Granpak Achieves Automation and Optimizes Processes with HiFlow MIS
Automate processes, machines, and people with an MIS/ERP for packaging manufacturing
GRANPAK chooses HiFlow for improved process transparency and efficiency
Industry 4.0 is not just one aspect, but a synergistic system of multiple elements. Smart technologies like algorithms, IIoT sensors, MES, workflow optimizations and real time analytics are what MIS/ERPs designed for packaging accomplish for printing and packaging manufacturing.
How can you meet these increasingly high bars without hiring more personnel or buying more equipment? By implementing technological infrastructure that introduces automation, MES, and workflow efficiencies that lower bottom line costs like labor and waste.
It may be a cliché, but giving you a look down from the 30,000 ft level is what an MIS/ERP system does best – with the reporting tools and data that a management system supplies, you can see EXACTLY what you need–to not only meet the bar, but exceed it and implement profit increases in your print/packaging manufacturing.

A commitment to serving Granpak’s unique needs
Granpak’s packaging production profile is unique; almost every product is individual in design. And HiFlow acknowledges that fact. Tools and dies, machines, substrates, formats, projects and processes—the ideal technology takes all facets of a business into account and works to integrate them into one single seamless, productive system. According to Granpak’s team, providing for the unique needs of Granpak is what determined their final decision to choose HiFlow.
Reporting reveals insights for Granpak
Granpak can analyze processes before and after production, at any time. Error and downtime reports indicate points where changes or improvements are needed. Management can analyze performance of machines, as well as individually assess operators.
HiFlow gathers important information for reporting on individual clients. Post-production calculations are compared with actual execution, so it is possible to assess the profitability of clients. Additionally, Granpak’s management team can decide about changes in the estimate for future orders, or to determine the clients where profitability is highest.
What factors influenced Granpak’s decision to use HiFlow?
- Comprehensive end-to-end support of their packaging manufacturing
- Quality control statements are generated automatically from HiFlow’s system
- Opportunities to further automate processes during implementation based only on configuration without the need of coding (no additional costs)
- Tools, machines, and templates management
- One solution – one central database – one screen workflow diagram- that supports all production and business processes
- And one very important factor – HiFlow’s years of experience in supporting packaging manufacturing in the international market
