Machine film optimisation for FMCG manufacturers | Lindum

Understand your wrapping cost.

Measure what can improve.

Film price tells you what you pay for the material. The amount applied to each pallet determines what it costs to use.

Where to start

Start with the question your team needs to answer

We look at the film, machine settings, load requirements and operating process together.

You might be looking to understand:
  1. 01Why film use has increased.
  2. 02What each line costs per pallet to wrap.
  3. 03Why comparable loads are wrapped differently between shifts.
  4. 04Whether film snapping or repeated intervention is linked to the film or setup.
  5. 05Whether a supplier’s proposed saving holds up in production.
  6. 06How to reduce plastic use while maintaining the required pallet performance.
Kontrol4.0

See what is happening on your wrapping lines

Kontrol4.0 fits to existing pallet wrapping machines and records:

An online dashboard brings the information together. Historical data and comparisons help your team investigate differences across lines, shifts and sites.

That gives the project a measured baseline and a way to check what changes during the trial.

Kontrol4.0 is supplier-neutral, so it can monitor your current film before a replacement is considered.

Define what your operation needs

Meet with your team to understand the application.

Measure the current performance

Review the current process and establish a baseline.

Analyse the options

Select the option best suited to your application.

Improve through a practical trial

Complete the trial and gather feedback.

Control the agreed standard

Maintain the agreed standard over time.

Development

Develop the change without experimenting on the live line

Where suitable, our Formulation Truck lets us compare films and settings on your real loads using a separate pallet wrapper.

Kontrol4.0 on the truck measures film use and cost per pallet during development. This helps build the proposed setup before validation on your production equipment.

Your team can then assess the recommendation using measured trial evidence.

Check pallet performance alongside film reduction

Using less film is only an improvement when the pallet still meets its required performance.

Our Mobile Pallet Stability Test Lab applies controlled transport forces and records how the load moves and deforms.

Testing before and after a change provides a comparison under the agreed conditions.

Kontrol4.0 measures the wrapping process. Pallet stability is validated separately.

Keep the result visible in everyday production

After rollout, Kontrol4.0 helps your team track whether film use, cost per pallet and wrapping consistency remain within the agreed standard.

Alerts flag changes in monitored metrics. Historical data helps you investigate when the change began and which lines or shifts need attention.

Your team can then act on the findings and check the effect of any correction.

Get in touch

Start with one wrapping line

A short Teams conversation can help establish what you already know, what you want to improve and which line would provide a useful starting point.

We can discuss your current measures, operating challenges and next packaging review.
