How co-engineering drives innovation in machinery and automation.

Every company faces unique production challenges. Whether it’s increasing efficiency, reducing material consumption, improving sustainability or preparing for future regulations such as PPWR, the solution is rarely found in a standard machine.

That’s why more and more companies choose a co-engineering approach in which the equipment manufacturer and customer jointly develop and optimize an automation solution from an early stage of the project.

At Avercon, we work closely with clients to translate complex production and packaging challenges into practical, reliable and future-proof machine solutions. By combining the expertise of end users, packaging specialists & machine engineers, innovative ideas can be transformed into industrial reality.

 

 

The most successful projects often start with a simple question: “Can this process be done differently?”

Rather than starting from existing technology, we start from the customer’s objective. Together, we analyse the process, identify opportunities for improvement and develop a solution tailored to the application.

This collaborative approach offers several advantages:

  • Faster innovation cycles
  • Reduced development risk
  • Better alignment between machine and process
  • Solutions tailored to real operational needs
  • Future-proof designs that can evolve with market demands

A good example is the development of the Ecobundle, a cardboard-based alternative to traditional shrink film packaging.

On request of VPK, Avercon developed a solution that addresses increasing demand for more sustainable packaging solutions and supports future requirements under regulations such as the PPWR (Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation).

Because the benefits of an entirely new packaging type were so compelling, the equipment development process began from the ground up—from inventing an innovative packaging machine concept to engineering a production-ready system that seamlessly integrates into existing food and beverage lines.

Curious to know more about the Ecobundle – to avoid shrink film and use cardboard for bottles ? Get in touch.

The result is a cardboard bundling solution for bottles that offers:

  1. Easier recyclability through a mono-material concept
  2. Reduced use of plastic packaging
  3. Strong branding opportunities
  4. Excellent pack and pallet stability
  5. High production efficiency

The Ecobundle demonstrates how co-engineering with Avercon enables customers to bring innovative concepts to market faster and with greater confidence.

Avercon supports companies in developing custom machinery, packaging machines, automation systems and complete production solutions. By combining process knowledge with engineering expertise, we help customers transform innovative ideas into reliable industrial equipment.

Whether the objective is increased efficiency, reduced material use, improved sustainability, labour reduction, safety regulation or compliance with regulations such as PPWR, co-engineering enables the development of machine solutions tailored to specific operational requirements.

The challenge can be different. The principle remains the same: combining expertise to create the right solution that support long-term strategies.

Markets evolve. Regulations change. Consumer expectations shift.

Companies that successfully navigate these changes are often the ones that innovate through partnership.
At Avercon, we believe co-engineering is about helping customers create solutions that deliver value today while preparing for tomorrow’s challenges.
