The systems supplier has integrated established technology of can and keg fillers, for example, into new systems for smaller quantities. KHS will also be presenting a compact solution for labelling that is likewise tailor-made to meet the requirements of the lower capacity segment. Common to all developments is the capabil- ity of enabling the machines to grow in size in accordance with increasing quantities with simple upgrades.

Systems previously tried-and-tested in practical operation pave the manufacturers’ way to the digitised smart factory.
