tna will be using a combination of virtual and augmented reality at this year’s Interpack in , to showcase its complete range of packaging and processing solutions.

Visitors to hall 15, booth B22 will be transported into a “real world” space, where they’ll get the chance to experience tna’s leading equipment designs in a multi-sensual environment.

This will include everything from tna’s cost-efficient steam peelers and high performance fryers to its gentle distribution, accurate seasoning, precise weighing and high-speed packaging solutions. Using the latest, cutting-edge technology, visitors will go on a virtual ride that will give them the unique opportunity to fully immerse themselves into the production process of a complete potato chip line – from start to finish.

At the same time, augmented realty will make it possible to bring individual systems to life and allow visitors to interact with them to find out more about their specific capabilities and features, creating a truly impactful virtual experience.

Alf Taylor, CEO and co-founder of tna

Alf Taylor, CEO and co-founder of tna:

“The food processing and packaging industry has come a long way and technological progress has played a huge part in this.”

“At tna, we pride ourselves in providing the industry with cutting-edge solutions that set new standards. We were the first to see what’s possible in terms of packaging speeds and have never let go of our dedication to innovation.”

“At the same time, our business growth from single product to an entire line of solutions, means we needed an innovative, exciting way to show our customers and prospects our full range of start-to-finish solutions.”

“Showing off the capabilities of our cutting-edge solutions through state-of-the-art technology was therefore the obvious choice.”

“Virtual and augmented reality not only allows us to demonstrate the breadth of our entire product line through a single device, but it’s also an incredibly powerful tool that will let our products come to life. That way customers can develop a real understanding of our complete turnkey capabilities in an environment that is familiar to them and they can relate to.”

“We’re really excited about the show this year and can’t wait to provide visitors with an experience they won’t forget.”
