Manufacturing Operations Software

Built for packaging manufacturers

Unplanned downtime, supply chain volatility, and labor shortages are constant challenges for packaging manufacturers. L2L's Manufacturing Operations Platform helps you stay ahead with proactive operations so you can eliminate costly stoppages and drive global excellence.

Changeover Speed

Every unplanned minute of changeover time directly impacts OEE. Reliance on operator tribal knowledge, inconsistent SOP execution, and no real-time visibility into how long each step is taking means you have no baseline to improve changeovers. L2L digitizes the changeover sequence, surfaces where time is being lost, and builds the standardized procedure that every operator follows.

 

OEE Across High-Speed Lines

When you're running 300+ cycles per minute, a 1% OEE improvement compounds fast. But most packaging plants measure OEE at end-of-shift from manually entered data, after production losses have already happened, with no clear cause. L2L captures line performance in real time, surfaces anomalies as they occur, and gives shift leaders the data to act before small issues become lost hours.

Consistent Quality

At high speeds, a quality variability that goes undetected for 20 minutes can cost thousands of units. Paper inspection sheets, reprinted every week, often with the wrong revisions, are not a quality system. L2L's digital checklists are version-controlled, QR-code accessible, and capture quality observations when they occur, not at the end of the shift.

"By responding to real-time data, we have avoided costly unplanned catastrophic failures. So far, we're happy with the results."

Frequently asked questions

Find answers to commonly asked questions that packaging manufacturers ask about the L2L Connected Manufacturing Operations Platform.

Does L2L packaging manufacturing software support real-time OEE tracking on high-speed lines?

Yes. L2L captures line performance events as they occur, not at the end of the shift. Every downtime event, speed loss, and quality stop is logged in real time, giving shift leaders and plant managers a live OEE picture they can act on before the production loss compounds. For example, Sonoco achieved $485K in downtime reduction across four sites using L2L Analytics and Execution AI.

How does L2L help reduce changeover time?

L2L digitizes your changeover sequence into step-by-step work instructions accessible via QR code at the line. Every operator follows the same approved procedure, not a tribal knowledge version. Timing data from changeover events builds the baseline you need to identify where time is being lost and validate improvements over time.

Can L2L replace our paper quality checklists and inspection sheets?

Yes. L2L Document Control replaces paper checklists with digital, version-controlled forms accessible via QR code. The latest approved revision is always what the operator sees: no reprinting, no mixed revisions on the floor. Quality observations are captured at the moment they occur, creating an audit-ready record without the banker boxes.

Does L2L work across multiple packaging plants?

Yes. Multi-site standardization is one of L2L's strongest use cases. For example, Sonoco deployed L2L across four sites with 66.4% active user adoption and a unified OEE reporting view. L2L has delivered over 400 multi-site implementations across manufacturing.

How does L2L compare to RedZone for packaging manufacturers?

L2L is a full operations platform. Dispatch, CMMS, OEE, Document Control, and Skills in one system. RedZone is a production visibility and connected-workforce tool focused on OEE and operator engagement, primarily in food and beverage manufacturing. If you need maintenance management, document control, and cross-site standardization alongside OEE, L2L covers ground RedZone does not.

What ROI can a packaging plant expect, and how quickly?

L2L's deployment methodology delivers a live pilot by Week 2, standardized operations by Week 12, and optimized performance by Week 16. Sonoco measured $485K in downtime reduction within the first deployment cycle. Purple achieved a 54% reduction in equipment downtime and a 1,400% increase in completed preventive maintenance. The ROI model is built around your current downtime hours and cost per production hour; ask us to run the numbers for your sites!

How does L2L handle preventive maintenance on high-speed packaging equipment?

L2L's CMMS module schedules PM tasks by asset, notifies the right technician automatically, and tracks completion against compliance targets. The planned vs. reactive maintenance ratio is one of the most direct levers for improving line availability in packaging, and L2L's dashboard shows it in real time. Purple improved completed PM events by 1,400% post-deployment.
