Connected Plus Systems

The Reality of Packaging Line Integration

Most packaging lines are built one machine at a time. Different suppliers. Different controls. Different priorities.

The result?

• Delayed startups
• Integration issues
• Finger-pointing when performance falls short
• Operators struggling with inconsistent systems

The problem isn’t the machines — it’s the lack of connection between them.

A Better Approach to Building Packaging Lines

A Massman Companies Connected Plus System is designed as a complete system from the start — not assembled later.

We bring together:

• Massman Companies equipment
• Best-in-class OEM partners
• Connected conveyance systems

Then unify them through:

• Mechanical design
• Electrical connectivity
• Controls architecture

So your line runs as one system — from day one.

What That Means for You

• One partner responsible for the entire line
• One project manager guiding the process
• One coordinated startup
• One system designed to perform — not just function

Who Connected Plus Systems Are Built For

Connected Plus Systems are designed for manufacturers who need more than just equipment — they need a line that performs as a system.

This is the right solution if you:

• Are investing in a new packaging line or major upgrade
• Need to connect multiple machine types across your process
• Want clear ownership and accountability across the entire line
• Are tired of managing multiple vendors and disconnected systems
• Require reliable startup and predictable performance
• Need a solution that can scale with future production demands

Who It’s Not For

Connected Plus may not be the right fit for every project — and that’s okay. This may not be the best approach if you:

• Are purchasing a single standalone machine
• Prefer to manage multiple vendors independently
• Don’t require coordinated installation or unified controls
• Are focused solely on lowest upfront cost vs. long-term performance

Connected Plus Systems is built for customers who value performance, accountability, and long-term success over piecing together a line one machine at a time.

What a Connected Plus System Looks Like

Every Connected Plus System is different — but the goal is always the same: a fully connected line that runs seamless.

A typical Connected Plus solution may include:

• Primary packaging equipment such as filling, cartoning, pouching, or capping
• Secondary packaging such as case packing, bundling, or wrapping
• End-of-line systems such as palletizing, labeling, or inspection
• Connected conveyance throughout the line
• Unified controls and operator interface across all equipment

All components are:

• Aesthetically designed
• Electrically aligned
• Controls-coordinated

So your line doesn’t just run — it performs.

Connected Plus is more than equipment — it is a packaging machinery designed to work together to perform as one system from day one through years of production.
