Packaging integration is complex. Multiple OEMs, evolving regulations, and tight schedules all compete for alignment. Without a structured methodology, projects risk delays, cost overruns, and inefficiencies that erode ROI. IPM guides customers through this complexity with a strategic, uptime-driven approach that safeguards investment and performance.
The IPM Method is a proven approach to packaging system design and execution. It is our packaging project methodology for turning ambitious goals into dependable performance, supported by OEM-neutral expertise and integrated packaging solutions. From discovery through optimization, every step is engineered to safeguard uptime, protect capital, and deliver measurable results.
The IPM Method is built on proven principles that safeguard uptime and accelerate ROI. Each project combines:
The Four Steps of
the IPM Method
Step 1: Discover & Plan
Every successful project begins with alignment. IPM leads discovery sessions to clarify customer goals, assess facility constraints, and identify opportunities for automation. Together, we define success criteria and lock scope with confidence, ensuring the project is built on clarity from the start.
Step 2: Design & Engineer
Discovery insights become system designs. IPM develops detailed drawings, specifications, and controls strategies, recommending OEM equipment objectively and conducting risk assessments to ensure startup readiness. Our role as a trusted advisor ensures that every design decision balances performance, budget, and long-term scalability.
Step 3: Implement & Test
Implementation is where design and engineering prove performance. IPM manages installation from site preparation through OEM coordination, validating each machine center with Factory and Site Acceptance Tests. This structured implementation ensures systems are integrated correctly, commissioned efficiently, and validated for uptime.
Step 4: Train & Optimize
Integrated packaging systems succeed when people are confident. Through EQUIPS, IPM provides operator training, hands-on instruction, and digital learning resources. Post-startup optimization and support safeguard long-term performance, keeping systems reliable and teams confident well beyond startup.
