Efficient Automation Solutions for Growing Cannabis Operations

by MFT Automation

As the cannabis industry rapidly expands, the pressure on businesses to meet production demands while navigating ever-evolving packaging laws is intensifying. Whether it’s cannabis oils, edibles, or flower, the need for automation solutions that ensure efficiency, precision, and compliance is more crucial than ever. With the right systems in place, you can streamline your cannabis packaging processes and stay ahead of the curve—especially when it comes to packaging laws and regulations.

The Challenge: Meeting Demands Without Compromising Compliance

In the constantly evolving cannabis industry, manufacturers must keep up with growing demand while adhering to strict packaging laws, which can vary from state to state. These challenges require robust automation systems that can:

  • Maintain high throughput rates to meet growing demand
  • Ensure compliance with complex and ever-changing packaging regulations
  • Adapt to new products, packaging formats, and labeling requirements

Unfortunately, many cannabis manufacturers struggle with rigid automation systems that are not tailored to their specific needs. That’s where MFT Automation comes in—offering solutions designed to optimize your cannabis packaging, ensuring compliance without sacrificing operational efficiency.

The Solution: Tailored Automation for Cannabis Packaging Compliance

MFT Automation understands the unique challenges of the cannabis industry and offers a range of customizable automation solutions designed to ensure compliance, boost efficiency, and streamline operations. From compact, mobile feeder-labeler systems to advanced print-and-apply labeling machines, MFT’s equipment is engineered to meet the high demands of cannabis packaging while adhering to strict regulatory standards.

1.   Impresso Labeler and Friction Feeder

The Impresso Labeler and Friction Feeder System offers a compact and flexible solution for cannabis packaging lines. This system utilizes a friction feeder to provide versatility across various packaging formats.

The system’s adaptable software allows for precise control, making it ideal for long production runs with minimal downtime. Infrared sensor technology ensures accurate counting and overlap detection, while the single-sided control system ensures smooth, efficient operation. Its small footprint and ability to interface easily with standard industry connectors make the Impresso Labeler a perfect choice for your cannabis packaging lines that require mobility and scalability.

2.   Print and Apply Labeler

The Print and Apply Labeler provides on-demand printing of high-quality labels, including vital information like lot codes, barcodes, and compliance information. Its high-quality thermal printing technology guarantees long-lasting, durable labels that are essential for the cannabis industry, where packaging requirements frequently change. The Smart Pad system automatically adjusts to product height, ensuring accurate alignment and repeatable results.

This labeler integrates seamlessly into tight production spaces and existing production lines. With over 18 compatible print engines, the Print and Apply Labeler offers flexibility and ease of use for cannabis manufacturers, allowing them to match the labeler to their existing equipment without requiring additional training. Combined with MFT’s Friction Feeder, this system delivers precise, stable, and accurate labeling for every product.

3.   Tracking, Anti-Tamper, and Tax Stamping for Controlled Substances

For cannabis manufacturers who need to track products for regulatory compliance, MFT’s Track & Trace, Anti-Tamper, and Tax Stamp Systems are a game-changer. Tax stamps, which serve as both a proof of tax payment and an anti-tampering seal, are critical for cannabis packaging. These stamps use advanced technologies such as embedded serial numbers, security inks, holograms, and track-and-trace capabilities to ensure product authenticity and prevent counterfeiting.

MFT’s system integrates seamlessly into your automated production lines, allowing cannabis producers to apply tax stamps efficiently while maintaining full traceability from production to retail. Whether you need offset, intaglio, or inkjet printing for tax stamps, MFT provides the technology and expertise to meet your unique regulatory and security requirements.
