Beverage Production Challenges
Beverage production offers some of the biggest challenges in factory automation.
From severe conditions and harsh cleaning processes that can quickly degrade system components to safeguarding palletizers, conveyors, and other equipment that pose a safety hazard to personnel, each challenge works against total Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) and the overall profitability of an organization.
Banner understands these challenges. Our industry knowledge, expertise in sensors, safety control, LED lights and indicators is combined with one of the most comprehensive product catalogs in the industry. We are able to provide products and solutions that solve the unique challenges faced by beverage producers, helping them ensure and improve product quality, productivity, and safety, and achieve maximum Overall Equipment Effectiveness.
End-to-End Beverage Packaging Line Solutions
Primary Packaging
IP69K rated products that resist high-pressure/high-temperature washdown and heavy-duty safety equipment protects personnel from injury.
Secondary Packaging
During secondary packaging, beverage containers are labeled and date/lot codes applied before being packed together for final packaging.
End-of-Line Packaging
At the end of the line, packed cases are palletized, shrink wrapped, barcoded, and transported to shipping.

Vent Tube Presence on Filler [Success Story]
A high-volume brewery needed a solution capable of detecting spreader washers on the vent tubes as well as loose or missing tubes. However, the movement of the rotary filler and the wet washdown environment made close proximity deployments difficult and the range required for a remote solution could compromise inspection reliability.
