How data from encoders reduces waste in many packaging processes

Motion-sensing data ensures more accurate labeling, coding, shrink wrapping, robotics and more.

In this 10-minute video interview, Steve Dilts, Business Development Manager at Encoder Products Company, explores the many roles motion-sensing encoders play up and down packaging lines today. Encoders translate rotary or linear motion into analog or digital signals to provide vital position, speed, count or direction information to other processes on the line. The high speeds of today’s lines require precise control in many areas, and custom-configured encoders are always up to the task.
