On April 15th, 2026, the WEPACK World Packaging Industry Expo grandly opened at the Shenzhen International Convention and Exhibition Center. As a highly influential printing and packaging industry event in the Asia-Pacific region, this exhibition brought together over 1,500 exhibitors. Focusing on areas such as color boxes, flexible packaging, cartons, and labels, it explored new trends in intelligent upgrading and high-quality development. As a leading enterprise in intelligent manufacturing solutions for the printing and packaging industry, AIMS, with the core theme of "Full-chain Collaboration · Intelligent Empowerment of Printing and Packaging", showcased its integrated solution of planning, execution and logistics at booth 5C630 in Hall 5 of the Color Box Exhibition, providing a brand-new model for the intelligent transformation of printing and packaging enterprises.

At this exhibition, AIMS brings a complete intelligent closed-loop solution covering scheduling optimization, production execution, and precise material supply. On site dynamic sand table intuitively restores the operation logic of "integrated logistics and production collaborative scheduling". MES, WMS, LES and other industrial software matrices are displayed synchronously, accompanied by landing cases in multiple fields and scenarios, to visually demonstrate the effectiveness of the solution and quickly attract a large number of on-site audiences to stop and communicate. This exhibition comprehensively reveals how the AIMS achieves full process collaboration and optimization from "material sourcing, production scheduling, in process management" to "production delivery", helping enterprises improve efficiency, collaboration, and flexibility.
Innovative Solution 1
Intelligent scheduling| Order based refined scheduling optimization

The number of SKU in the printing packaging orders is large, and the cost of changing orders is high. Moreover, abnormal situations such as unexpected downtime and urgent orders being inserted occur frequently. Completely relying on manual production scheduling is not only labor-intensive but also difficult to consistently achieve the optimal result. Therefore, AIMS provides a set of practical scheduling assistance tools for planners: The system can obtain real-time information on machine status, material availability and production progress. Based on key constraints such as material specifications, printing color groups and post-processing processes, it automatically aggregates existing orders and provides suggested sorting (for example, arranging similar orders consecutively to reduce machine cleaning and plate changing). When urgent orders are inserted, the system can quickly mark the affected orders and provide adjustment suggestions, which are confirmed by the planners and then executed; at the same time, orders with material shortages will be automatically locked and not participate in the scheduling.
Through this "human-machine collaboration" approach for refined scheduling, the factory can effectively reduce the time spent on invalid order changes, release equipment capacity while ensuring delivery deadlines, and make the production schedule more in line with actual constraints.

Smart Execution| MES Transparent production execution throughout the entire process

The MES production execution system introduced in the solution architecture of AIMS Link focuses on achieving paperless and data-driven production throughout the entire process. By deploying intelligent terminals at each workstation, the MES can comprehensively manage the five key production factors of "people, machines, materials, methods, and environment", allowing operators to scan codes to obtain operation instructions and production commands, ensuring that production information is complete. Moreover, the MES can also record the circulation paths of various materials on the machines in real time, optimize waste, leftover materials, and machine adjustment losses management. Through precise data collection, it helps managers grasp the production progress and bottlenecks in real time and promptly warn of on-site fluctuations. At the same time, by communicating with the underlying equipment in real time, it connects production execution and logistics management, achieving a transformation from "result traceability" to "process pre-control", and eliminating the management model based on experience.

Smart Logistics| LES Agile Logistics Support

Machine automation transformation is the hardware prerequisite for the implementation of LES logistics instructions.
. At present, many packaging factories lack standard automatic loading and unloading interfaces for their existing equipment, and materials still need to be manually transported to the machine after being delivered to the machine, creating an internal logistics bottleneck. To this end, AIMS has installed automatic loading and unloading devices, material sensors, and industrial communication modules for core production equipment such as printing machines, die-cutting machines, and box pasting machines, connecting the interface between equipment and logistics systems and eliminating manual handling of the "last meter".
LES Logistics Execution System Digital intelligent scheduling, realizing the "Four Nos" commitment of materials

The automation transformation of the machine tools is the hardware prerequisite for the implementation of the LES logistics instructions. At present, many printing and packaging factories' existing equipment lacks standard automatic loading and unloading interfaces. After the materials are delivered to the machine tools, they still need to be manually lifted onto the machines, resulting in an internal logistics bottleneck. Therefore, AIMS has installed automatic loading and unloading devices, material sensors and industrial communication modules for core production equipment such as printing machines, die-cutting machines and box-filling machines, to connect the interfaces between the equipment and the logistics system, eliminating the manual handling of "the last meter".
The packaging industry has a wide variety of materials with different specifications. The traditional mode often leads to chaotic scheduling and delayed supply, and logistics frequently operates in an "emergency rescue" state. The AIMS LES logistics execution system uses digitalized scheduling to precisely control material demand and delivery sequence. Under the condition of complete materials, it achieves the "four no's" commitment of no shortage of materials, no interruption of materials, no error in materials, and no omission of materials, ensuring continuous production.
These three innovative solutions are not isolated but rather deeply integrated and work together in a coordinated manner around the three core aspects of "planning, execution, and logistics", forming an integrated whole. The three elements create a closed-loop synergy of "planning guiding execution, execution driving logistics, and logistics ensuring planning", helping packaging and printing enterprises enhance production stability, reduce operational complexity, and continuously strengthen delivery capabilities.
AIMS has always focused on the core pain points of the packaging industry. It has abandoned the traditional approach of "single module upgrade" and instead concentrated on the "full factory integration" core. With mature technologies, rich cases, and feasible solutions, it helps packaging enterprises break through management and development bottlenecks. In the future, AIMS will continue to focus on the deep integration of intelligent technology and industry demands. With more practical products and services, it will empower packaging enterprises to achieve digital and intelligent upgrades, and drive the industry to move towards a high-quality development path of efficiency, flexibility, and intelligence.
