Packaging companies need to rise to ever increasing challenges vis-à-vis the worldwide competition. The markets demand a high diversity. Despite reduced batch sizes, secure packaging processes need to be guaranteed. 

A company like Schubert, producer of industrial image processing systems, who 25 years ago built the world's first packaging robot and today, using the TLM modular system, builds possibly the world's most flexible packaging machines, brings its customers on the road to success. 

Rapidity and the flexibility to adapt to markets will be decisive for future success. 

Flexible packaging technology comes at a price but, from what we know today, a flexible packaging machine might have a service life of 40 years and thus more than justify its price. 

Machine flexibility means that it can be retrofitted if required and that it adapts automatically to different products and packages. It should also be possible to adapt the machine performance.
