Since ancient times, bread has been known as the “staff of life.” While bread’s importance hasn’t waned since those words were first written, the art of baking has changed significantly.
Today, according to theAmerican Bakers Association, the commercial baking industry in the United States is responsible for well over $300 billion in total annual economic output and 1.7 million jobs — about 2.1% of the GDP. While professional bakers have existed since as far back as the 5thcentury BC in ancient Greece, the scale of sophistication of this modern industry is a far cry from relatively simple, handmade loaves of antiquity.
事实上,莫dern food supply includes baked goods like sandwich rolls, cakes, pies, pastries, crackers, snack bars, and much more. More importantly, rapidly growing population means that highly-efficient industrial methods are required to meet demand.
Whether you’re a craft brewer, a soft drink company, a bottler of fresh spring water, fruit juice, or anything in between, there are some things that any major player in the beverage industry knows: one of the most crucial for day-to-day operations is the need for effective bottle and can conveyors.
Conveyor systems in the beverage industry are essential for numerous processes on the bottling line: filling, capping, labelling, packing, shipping, and more. A speedy, efficient line not only keeps production on schedule, but can help growing businesses scale to meet demand and more.
If you’re looking to expand or replace your bottle conveyors, can conveyors, or other parts of your handling or automation systems, mk North America offers a number ofsolutions perfect for use in the beverage industry.
There’s a bit of popular wisdom that almost everyone has either heard or thought to themselves at some point: "Everything’s made of plastic these days."
But while the worldwide use and production of plastics has been rising steadily since the 1950s, metal’s not going anywhere just yet. One recent analysis even被称为industrial metals “the building blocks of an economy,” adding, “there are plenty of reasons to be optimistic about the industrial metals industry over the long term.”
稳定的需求对金属的需求意味着稳定tal working: die casting, stamping, cutting, assembly, handling, inspection, packaging, and all the other discrete processes that transform metal from raw ore to final product.

The robotics industry in America is stronger than ever, and poised to grow faster than ever.
Accordingto the Robotics Industries Association (RIA), the North American robotics market set a new all-time record in the first half of 2016, with 14,583 robots worth $817 million ordered in the region.
“The robotics industry is thriving today as more companies of all sizes are realizing the benefits of automation,” said Jeff Burnstein, President of RIA, in a statement.
The bulk of the American robotics boom is attributed in increasing automation in theautomotive industries, food and consumer goods, inspection, assembly, spot welding, general manufacturing, and more.
