This master thesis shows the process for designing a completely new concept for a packaging machine. - PROBLEM DEFINITION: Conpax produces and retails packaging machines for supermarkets, mostly in the Benelux. In the last year, supermarkets have been buying pre-packed products instead of packing in the butchery. This is a big threat for Conpax since their machines are only suited for the packaging of fresh meat and cheese products. - ANALYSIS: Field research has been realized in supermarkets to analyse the existing usage of the machine. Supermarket butcheries do not have much space, so the new design should be compact. The expectations of consumers have been researched and lead to new presentation and packaging concepts. - FINAL DESIGN: A machine with a new architecture has been designed for Conpax. The machine has be rethought for automation, improved ergonomics and friendlier shape and material.
