Several key trends are driving the growth of packaging automation in the U.S.

Growth in E-Commerce: This is because the e-commerce market has grown tremendously in the United States, and this has led to a high demand for packaging automation. E-commerce companies need efficient and adaptable packaging systems to meet large order volumes and a diverse set of product sizes. Today packaging lines are becoming more and more automated to meet the needs of companies that want to minimize the time taken in order fulfilment and delivery.

Focus on Sustainability: The public is becoming more conscious of the environment, and this has made firms embrace environmentally friendly packaging. New systems are now being developed to manage recyclable and biodegradable products and minimize the use of packaging materials. Energy-efficient technologies and equipment are also called for by firms to reduce energy costs and meet the requirements of environmental policies.

Some of the key regulations impacting packaging automation in the U.S.

1. Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) Regulations: OSHA has laid down very stringent rules to safeguard the employees handling automated machinery at the workplace. In its guidelines, OSHA has laid down certain rules that state that the employer must ensure the safety of the employee and train the employees working on the automation equipment. Some of the safety protective measures that must be incorporated by companies using packaging automation systems include emergency stop buttons, light curtains, and sensors to minimize accidents. Other requirements include machine inspections and maintenance which must be conducted regularly as required by OSHA.

2. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Packaging Regulations: The FDA controls the aspects of packaging of food, drugs, and other products that are taken by consumers. These industries require the use of automated packaging systems, and such systems should be compliant with the FDA standards on hygiene, contamination prevention, and labelling. For instance, the packaging of pharmaceutical products must have features that can be easily tampered with while food packaging must withstand certain chemical tests to ensure that it does not contain any dangerous chemicals that may affect the quality of the food.

3. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Regulations: The EPA regulates issues to do with packaging waste and the application of hazardous substances. Those packaging automation systems that minimize waste, use recyclable material, or incorporate energy-efficient technology are encouraged to meet EPA standards. Businesses are also implementing sustainable strategies to meet the environmental laws including RCRA and PPA that focus on waste packaging reduction and recycling respectively.

4. State-Level Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) Programs: Certain states like California have come up with EPR policies that make manufacturers to be held responsible for the disposal of packaging materials right from the time the product is manufactured. Among these programs, the companies are compelled to install automated packaging solutions that involve the use of eco-friendly material and encourage recycling and reusing. These regulations can be met by implementing packaging automation as this will improve the management of materials and minimize on packaging that is used.

Industry Applications

Food and Beverage: Mechanized processes help in packaging the food products in the best way possible, in terms of hygiene and without wastage. Automated technologies can track the state of packaging and the right packaging materials will be used to avoid contamination and prolong the storage time of the product.

Pharmaceuticals: In the pharmaceuticals where the industry is highly governed, packaging automation ensures that the rights labelling, dosing, and safety features are correctly adhered to. Automated systems help in compliance with FDA regulations and at the same time boost the production rate.

E-Commerce: The above-illustrated packaging automation is critical, particularly in the current world where e-commerce is on the rise thus many orders are placed to be packaged. The robotic machines can easily make changes to many sizes of products and shapes since they provide quick and efficient packaging to e-commerce businesses.
