Innovation and reduced production costs are the two success factors for the packaging industry. Optima Control Solutions has the expert knowledge that contributes significantly to the second factor. Our experience with control system upgrades, industrial automation and system integration is unrivalled. A portfolio of more than 60 full-scale retrofit projects in the packaging industry alone speaks for itself! A coating line’s enhanced productivity is crucially dependent on expert engineering knowledge of complex winders, tension controls and web transport systems. We have developed deep understanding of each control system component and process over the past 16 years in the business.
Our automation experts have completed control system upgrades on laminators, coating lines, slitters and embossers amongst other equipment. We are well experienced with machines ranging from Cerrutti, Jagenberg, Polytype, DCM press to Bobst, Rotomec, Schiavi, Atlas, Delta.
