Nichrome Data Over Internet: How Smart Packaging, IoT & Analytics Are Transforming Manufacturing

 


Packaging has never been more advanced. No more simple boxes and bottles. Smart packaging is where it's at today, and it's revolutionizing the packaging industry from inside out. At Nichrome, we are not just riding the wave of change—our path-breaking packaging automation solutions, backed by IoT, real-time data, and cloud-intelligent connectivity, are leading the charge.

Welcome to Nichrome Data Over Internet—or as we more commonly call it, N-DOIT. It's not a service, it's a packaging philosophy. A philosophy that puts data, analytics, and efficiency front and centre in every packaging machine that we design, install, and maintain.

From food packaging automation to agro automation, we're enabling Indian manufacturers to jumpstart their future. Through N-DOIT, we're enabling them to work smarter, faster, and more in control—all due to the powerful combination of cloud platforms, remote monitoring, and data-driven decision making.

Let us dive into how this change is shaping up.

What Is "Data Over Internet" in Packaging?

Just think how great it would be if your packaging machines talked. Better yet—what if they could listen, analyze, and predict? That is what Data Over Internet (DOI) makes a reality. At its essence, DOI is a real-time collection, transmission, and analysis of machine data across secure cloud platforms.

This isn't just fancy tech talk. It allows packagers to experience genuine real-time machine monitoring, instant insights, and greater visibility of their complete packaging automation system. From uptime, line downtime, energy usage, or product throughput, we enable you to view it all—anywhere, at any time.

This level of remote monitoring changes the game completely, especially for the packaging industry in India, where agility and efficiency are the need of the hour. With IoT solutions for the packaging industry in India, Nichrome offers unmatched transparency and control.

Smart Packaging Systems Enabled by IoT

This is where packaging and the future converge—Nichrome’s smart packaging solutions are transforming manufacturing through the capabilities of IoT (Internet of Things). Our integrated solutions surpass machines by introducing smart sensors and Internet of Things connected devices that track all performance aspects in real time.

Whether you have a pouch filling machine, sachet pack machine, or any food packing machine, our N-DOIT (Nichrome Data Over Internet Technology) patented technology makes your packaging process intelligent, cutting edge, and efficient.

Here is all that you can get with it:

  1. Instant Deviation Alerts - Get notified the moment there's a sealing, filling accuracy, or temperature change.
  2. Enhanced Machine Health Monitoring - Track the motor performance, pressure levels, and wear indicators to avoid breakdowns.
  3. Environmental Controls - Monitor temperature and humidity levels required for sensitive products like pharmaceuticals or milk.
  4. Data-Driven Decision Making – Analyze production data to maximize OEE (Overall Equipment Effectiveness) and minimize downtime.
  5. Remote Accessibility – Remote access to machine data in real-time—greater visibility and control of operations.

From food packaging lines to sachet fillers, our IoT-enabled packaging technology transforms your production line into a lean, clean, and hyper-efficient one.

Welcome to a world where smart packaging doesn't merely respond—it anticipates, avoids, and acts.

Predictive Maintenance with Analytics

Why wait for a breakdown when you can anticipate it first? That is the benefit of predictive maintenance—and Nichrome leads the charge. Our automatic packaging machines feature intelligent diagnostics that utilize data analytics and machine learning to continuously watch and detect early warning signs of failure.

This is how our predictive maintenance is a game-changer for your packaging operations:

     Scheduled maintenance, real-time machine monitoring, rather than repair in response

     Enhanced OEE (Overall Equipment Effectiveness) because of reduced unplanned downtime

     Improved productivity and consistent performance between shifts

     Remote diagnostics for faster decision-making and assistance

     Integrated sensors and real-time performance monitoring analytics

This isn't tweaking a little—it's a complete redesign in how you manage your production floor. With Nichrome's smart packaging automation solutions, you enjoy control, productivity, and uptime your competition can only dream of.

Real-Time Machine Monitoring for Efficiency

Knowledge is power today, and real-time knowledge is a superpower. With our N-DOIT service, manufacturers have the authority to conduct real-time remote machine monitoring anywhere in the world.

From the factory floor to the aircraft, you can monitor machine dashboards, make adjustments, and monitor performance metrics on our cloud-connected packaging machines. Remote operation, real-time data, and actionable insights? That's what we call next-generation packaging technology.

This degree of remote monitoring facilitates quicker decision-making, energy conservation, and greater accountability between shifts and locations. Guesswork no more—straight performance.

Nichrome India is India’s leading provider of integrated packaging solutions. A pioneer and market leader in flexible packaging machines for diverse applications, Nichrome is a company passionate about innovation to meet industry challenges, improve productivity and sustainability in packaging operations.

Repeat Length Optimisation - RLO


As a company that uses plastic for packaging, Nichrome is aware and concerned about the need to reduce and recycle plastic for a cleaner, greener world.

Nichrome has designed and launched a unique innovation to decrease the pouch length and thereby reduce the use of plastic in packaging pouches. Nichrome’s patented pouch length reduction kit RLO (repeat length optimization) can be installed as a retrofit on existing Nichrome machines, and helps to save 7 mm in pouch length of a 50 gm pouch and 10 mm in a 100 gm pouch.

The RLO also has a product settler with extended air removal pads that remove the air from the pouch without a pin prick. This makes the pouches less bulky, so customers save on secondary packaging and logistics.

The innovation is ideally suited for powder packaging and works well for all types of powdery and granular products such as Atta, Cake Mix, Tea, Coffee, Sugar, Milk Powder, Agrochemicals, etc.

RLO - Repeat Length Optimisation


Advantages of Nichrome’s RLO

  • Reduction in pouch length min 5mm + saving in laminate film
  • Further reduction in Residual Air in the pouch
  • Clean horizontal seal, minimizes the chances of leakages due to product in seal
  • Savings in Secondary packaging and logistics
  • Avoids use of pin prick and hence extended shelf life of the product
  • This addition to the machine does not reduce the output
  • ROI of the unit is within a month of production
Innovation in action



Nichrome’s ROL patented pouch length reduction kit is installed at Shakti Masala and is also working wonders at Nani Agro. At Nani Agro, Nichrome demonstrated the new kit on a 1 kg spice bag and saved almost 10mm of pouch length. Calculated over a year of operations, this mounts to almost 4 tonnes of plastic saved!
