Presentation and event highlights:
In addition to showcasing its innovative packaging automation solutions, Emerson will also sponsor two events, the annual Packaging & Processing Women’s Leadership Network (PPWLN) breakfast and the Amazing Packaging Race.
All women who are registered for PACK EXPO Chicago are invited to the free PPWLN breakfast and program on Tuesday, November 4, at 7:30 a.m. in West Building, Room W-375. Following the breakfast, attendees will have the opportunity for a private show floor tour and participate in a Q&A with Lisa Propati, Vice President and General Manager of Weiler Labeling Systems, as well as other packaging executives.
As part of the Amazing Packaging Race, teams from U.S. colleges, trade schools and universities race to complete tasks and solve problems at booths across the PACK EXPO show floor.
Product highlights:
Emerson Energy Manager
The Energy Manager is a pre-engineered hardware and software solution designed to simplify energy monitoring from quick set up to intuitive operation. Ready out of the box, the Energy Manager monitors asset energy use in real time, allowing manufacturers to gain deeper insight into energy consumption and operating costs. Through its easy-to-use dashboard, operators can access asset-specific consumption, associated costs and carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions for up to 10 end points (expandable to 50 with a license). This level of immediate visibility can empower facility teams to reduce packaging utility costs, lower carbon dioxide emissions and maximize energy and operational efficiency. For more extensive media and utilities monitoring, the Energy Manager can be paired with the Emerson Compressed Air Manager. The combined solution provides a streamlined view of energy costs and compressed air usage across a packaging line, factory and site.
