Safety Innovation Summary:
A new AOPACK box-making machine was installed, featuring slotter, slitter, scoring, and die-cutting capabilities. The equipment includes modern safety features that fully enclose hazardous moving parts, addressing common risks like nip points seen in older models.

 

Implementation and Impact:
After a needs assessment and hazard evaluation, the machine was installed with servo-driven components that reduce setup time by up to 95% and labor needs by 50%. Safety is significantly improved with enclosed systems, self-sharpening knives, and automated processes, enhancing both productivity and operator protection.
