Digitization and automation of equipment of LLC "A-PAK"

About this project

<p>The main raw materials used by the project applicant UAB.A-PAK for the production of its products are three- and five-ply brown-brown or white-brown corrugated cardboard, adhesives, inks. The company specialises in the production of both standard and non-standard (special designs, large or small dimensions, etc.) packaging. One of the main advantages is that it is environmentally friendly packaging, which decomposes naturally and quickly in nature. The packaging produced by the company is widely used in the food and light industries.<br> The company's core business requires constant monitoring of market needs and news, as the company's customers not only demand efficient pricing and fast production times, but also a more representative and marketing function for packaging, even secondary packaging, which has to comply with market trends and requirements in terms of printing, die-cutting and colouring. The target market of A-PAK UAB is businesses and organisations with a need for carton packaging, including food packaging.&nbsp;<br> The main problem faced by A-PAK UAB is low production volumes. Most of the work in the production process is done manually and therefore takes a long time. In addition, the duration of the process and the quality of the work depend on the employees. In order to increase the production volume and reduce the influence of the human factor, automation and digitalisation of the production process will be carried out.<br> The long-term objective of the project is to increase productivity in A-PAK UAB and to increase the volume of activity by strengthening its market position in terms of cardboard processing technologies, process efficiency and employee involvement. The company has ambitious targets for growth in business volumes, to more than double its turnover in the next five years and to increase its export volumes to neighbouring markets.<br> &nbsp;</p>
