At Smurfit Kappa, corrugating machine operators have permanently adopted it.<\/p>\n<p>Corrugating machines are extremely sophisticated machines used to manufacture cardboard packaging. They are true production lines in themselves.<\/p>\n<p>To operate they require the intervention of several operators working from clearly defined workstations:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>&#8220;Single face&#8221; (2 people) and &#8220;double face&#8221; operators have the task of loading \/ removing the paper reels, checking their progress and gluing and setting the machine parameters.<\/li>\n<li>The &#8220;cutter control&#8221; operator&#8217;s task is to take regular samples during production, to check the quality of the sheets (dimensions, bonding, etc.) and to ask the machine operators to adjust the parameters.<\/li>\n<li>The &#8220;general control post&#8221; operator checks the machine&#8217;s parameters, checks the quality of the cardboard manufactured and sends instructions to the operators.<\/li>\n<li>The &#8220;forklift truck driver&#8221; takes the reels of paper to the single\/double operators according to manufacturing need.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>All of them, irrespective of their posts need to communicate with their colleagues.<\/p>\n<p>However, corrugating machines are extremely noisy. After testing a great number of solutions that were ineffective under these conditions, Smurfit Kappa decided to equip them with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vogo-group.com\/en-gb\/solution\/walkie-talkie-professional-hands-free-vokkero-guardian-standard\/details\/\">Vokkero\u00ae<\/a> radio communication systems.<\/p>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"298\" src=\"https:\/\/www.vogo-group.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/CARTOUCHE-VOKKERO-GUARDIAN-BT-300x298.jpg\" alt=\"VOKKERO GUARDIAN\" class=\"wp-image-94365\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.vogo-group.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/CARTOUCHE-VOKKERO-GUARDIAN-BT-300x298.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.vogo-group.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/CARTOUCHE-VOKKERO-GUARDIAN-BT-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.vogo-group.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/CARTOUCHE-VOKKERO-GUARDIAN-BT-768x763.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.vogo-group.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/CARTOUCHE-VOKKERO-GUARDIAN-BT.jpg 818w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Thanks in particular to a high-performance noise filter, operators can now speak to each other clearly and intelligibly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Equipped with microphone headsets coupled with moulded hearing protectors, they understand each other&#8217;s instructions simultaneously without any difficulty, carrying out all the operations linked to their workstations, hands free and calmly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thanks to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vogo-group.com\/en-gb\/solution\/walkie-talkie-professional-hands-free-vokkero-guardian-standard\/details\/\">Vokkero\u00ae<\/a>, the operators of Smurfit Kappa&#8217;s corrugating machines can synchronise their tasks perfectly, thus ensuring their safety and that the cardboard manufacturing process runs smoothly.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Controlling a corrugating machine: communication made possible by Vokkero!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":12778,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_seopress_robots_primary_cat":"none","_seopress_titles_title":"","_seopress_titles_desc":"","_seopress_robots_index":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[586],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-13136","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.vogo-group.com\/en-gb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13136","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.vogo-group.com\/en-gb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.vogo-group.com\/en-gb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.vogo-group.com\/en-gb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.vogo-group.com\/en-gb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=13136"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/www.vogo-group.com\/en-gb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13136\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":124301,"href":"https:\/\/www.vogo-group.com\/en-gb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13136\/revisions\/124301"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.vogo-group.com\/en-gb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/12778"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.vogo-group.com\/en-gb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=13136"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.vogo-group.com\/en-gb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=13136"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.vogo-group.com\/en-gb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=13136"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
