"Survival of the fittest, elimination of the fittest" is applicable to any group, of course, including the packaging machine industry. With the continuous development of society, packaging machinery that cannot keep up with the market demand will face a survival crisis. Now, China's packaging machine market presents a new trend. I wonder whether the packaging machine industry can upgrade in time and keep up with the trend.

Looking at the development of domestic packaging machine, after the efforts of several generations, it has developed step by step from the beginning of mechanical control to single chip microcomputer to today's PLC industrial control. What determines the development direction of packaging machine is the market demand, just like the changes of natural environment in nature will automatically select the suitable ones to continue to develop.

First, globalization. First of all, the competition in the global market is intensifying. The market survey and analysis report of the packaging machine industry shows that from the perspective of the packaging machine manufacturing industry, many enterprises at home and abroad have faced bankruptcy or have closed down under the oppression of market competition due to insufficient competitiveness, including small and medium-sized enterprises and some well-known enterprises. Those enterprises that barely survive in the domestic market have to consider expanding new markets; Secondly, the rapid development of computer network technology has promoted the cooperation between competitive enterprises. This cooperation will bring new hope to both sides. However, because it is based on competition, it will further increase the international market competition. The interaction between cooperation and competition has become the driving force for the development of global manufacturing industry. Networking is the primary premise of global manufacturing technology. Only the integration of networked communication technology can ensure the smooth development of manufacturing globalization.

Second, networking. The success of network technology has solved many limitations of packaging machinery manufacturing in time and space. The popularization of computer network will bring revolutionary changes to the production and sales of enterprises. From product design, parts procurement and manufacturing, market analysis can be based on network technology, which is more convenient for operation and management, and can be operated and controlled in different places. In addition, the rapid development of network information technology is bound to bring new opportunities and challenges to the machinery manufacturing industry, and promote enterprises to develop in the direction of both competition and cooperation.

Third, virtualization. The application of virtual technology in product production is mainly reflected in the two functions of inspection and simulation. Firstly, it can test the machinability, processing method and rationality of design ideas of products, which can more accurately ensure the quality, production cost and production cycle of products. In addition, the product can be modeled and simulated, and each process of product manufacturing can be simulated through computer software and network, so as to avoid uncontrollable problems in actual operation.

Fourth, automation. At present, the research of automation is mainly reflected in the integration technology and system technology in manufacturing system, man-machine integrated manufacturing system, manufacturing unit technology, manufacturing process planning and scheduling, flexible manufacturing technology and manufacturing environment suitable for modern production mode. The development trend of packaging machinery manufacturing automation technology is manufacturing globalization, packaging machinery manufacturing agility, packaging machinery manufacturing networking, packaging machinery manufacturing virtualization, packaging machinery manufacturing intelligence and manufacturing green.

Fifth, green. Green manufacturing produces green products through green production process, green design, green materials, green equipment, green technology, green packaging and green management. After the products are used, they are recycled after green treatment. Adopting green manufacturing can minimize the negative impact of manufacturing on the environment and maximize the utilization efficiency of raw materials and energy.
