Packaging
Line uptime, machine health and energy monitoring for packaging
Packaging lines run fast, and a stopped motor or a drop in air pressure stops everything behind it. En-Stream watches motors, drives and compressed air live, so your team catches problems before the line stops.
The problem
Where packaging lines lose time and energy
Short stops add up
Brief stoppages from a tripped drive or a jam rarely get recorded, but together they cut a shift's output.
Compressed air leaks
Pneumatic machines depend on compressed air, and leaks waste energy around the clock without anyone hearing them.
Drives fail without warning
Motors and VFDs on conveyors, fillers and wrappers show signs before they fail, but nobody is watching the data.
What to measure
Readings that matter on a packaging line
En-Stream reads these from your existing meters, drives and controllers, or from sensors wired to a gateway.
Line uptime
Running and stop signals from each machine, from its PLC or a gateway's digital inputs.
Motor and VFD health
Current, speed and fault data from the drives on conveyors, fillers, sealers and wrappers.
Compressed air
Flow, pressure and compressor power, so leaks and abnormal demand show up early.
Power per line
kW and kWh from energy meters on each line or large machine.
Supply by source
Grid, generator and solar, live, so you see which source carries the load.
Dashboards
Dashboards packaging teams use
Alarms & Alerts
Alarms on drive faults, a stopped machine or low air pressure, sent the moment they happen.
Utilities
Compressed air, boiler gas and fuel next to electricity, for the whole plant.
Custom Dashboards
A view per line for operators, and a plant view for management.
Hardware
Gateways for packaging lines

FAQ
Packaging monitoring FAQ
Can En-Stream help find compressed air leaks?
Yes. En-Stream tracks compressed air flow, pressure and compressor power next to electricity, so leaks and abnormal demand show up as soon as they start.
How does predictive maintenance work on a packaging line?
En-Stream watches readings from motors, VFDs, pumps and other equipment. Its AI spots trends that come before a failure and alerts your team early, so maintenance can be planned instead of reacting to breakdowns.
Our machines come from different vendors. Will they connect?
Yes. En-Stream is vendor-agnostic. It reads PLCs, VFDs and meters over Modbus TCP and RTU, RS485 and RS232, and sensors over analog and digital inputs.
Do we need to stop production to install it?
No. Gateways connect to the meters, drives and controllers you already have. Most sites take 1–3 days on site, and larger plants are installed in phases, so production never stops.
