production speed and accuracy. “These systems provide precise control over product handling, allowing for faster operations while maintaining careful product treatment,” says a Forpak Automation spokesperson.


Modern vision inspection systems have transformed quality control from being a production bottleneck into a speed enabler. Today automated inspection systems can evaluate hundreds of products every minute with consistent accuracy.

The solution to this is the adoption of automated sortation systems. “If designed intelligently, these systems can rapidly organise and orient products, preventing the bottlenecks that can occur at transition points,” says the

To navigate these fast-evolving consumer demands, jelly and gummy manufacturers need to address a variety of operational challenges. Notably, there is a need to      through process optimisation and the use of real-time data monitoring and production analytics with predictive maintenance can help here. There is also a need to minimise product changeover times in order to keep production line productivity high. “The solution to increasing output of jelly and gummy production lies in the adoption of a holistic, fully integrated production approach that seamlessly connects every aspect of an operation.
