SUN Automation Group (SUN), a global industry leader in innovative corrugated solutions for feeding, printing, and converting, welcomes customers to SuperCorrExpo in Booth 1731 at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, Florida from September 8-12.
Visitors can learn more about the SUN625® HD Rotary Die Cutter, SUN’s next-level solution for corrugated manufacturing. With comprehensive feeding, printing, and converting capabilities, the SUN fixed-frame RDC offers more production volume than two traditional RDC machines while producing superior container quality.
“We’re incredibly excited to share the SUN625® HD at SuperCorrExpo,” said Eric Aulton, Product Manager – RDC. “This new technology, specifically, a new engineered approach to Rotary Die Cutting, embodies our commitment to innovation and productivity and offers our customers unprecedented machine reliability, product throughput, and product accuracy. It’s setting new standards in efficiency and versatility, and we look forward to discussing its transformative capabilities in September.”
SUN will also highlight Helios, the company’s machine learning and IIoT platform. The SaaS solution quantifies and analyzes key elements of the corrugated manufacturing process. With this data, box plant leaders are empowered to make more efficient and informed decisions about when to schedule downtime and order parts to prevent machine failure.
“Helios saves box plants time and money by enabling their equipment to work smarter, not harder,” said Gokul Gopakumar, Vice President of Technology and Business Development. “Its machine learning capabilities enable predictive maintenance, and its real-time remote monitoring allows for quick identification and resolution of issues. Helios is the 21st-century solution for optimizing the manufacturing process.”
In addition, SUN will feature its breadth of strategic global partnerships at SuperCorrExpo. By combining industry leaders’ experience, equipment, service, and technology worldwide, SUN can provide the right solution for any operation and accommodate even the most unique needs.
“Our strategic partnerships allow us to expand as a total solutions provider for the corrugated industry,” said Greg Jones, Executive Vice President. “We can capitalize on our all-encompassing resources to provide individualized solutions for our customers. We look forward to demonstrating how our current knowledge, experience, and global presence can serve the corrugated community.”
SUN is proud to maintain key partnerships to provide solutions for increasing production, efficiency, and profitability. When SuperCorrExpo attendees visit SUN’s booth this year, they will also have the opportunity to meet and learn more about these strategic partners.
