A method to restore the functional state of an automatic machine for the production or the packaging of consumer products. The method comprises the steps of: storing a first knowledge base containing a plurality of problematic operating conditions having a corresponding known fault; training the data processing system by associating ate least one solution to each problematic operating condition and storing a second knowledge base containing the solution; identifying a current operating condition; searching, among all the problematic operating conditions stored in the first knowledge base, for the problematic operating condition that is the most similar to the current operating condition; and communicating to an operator the solution associated with the corresponding problematic operating condition and stored inside the second knowledge base.
摘要:
A pack for consumer articles comprising: a plurality of consumer articles arranged in a row extending along a longitudinal extension of the pack; and a parallelepiped-shaped box, which houses the consumer articles and has two bottom walls parallel and opposite one another and arranged orthogonally to the longitudinal extension of the pack, and four side walls arranged parallel to the longitudinal extension, in pairs, parallel to and opposite one another. The box comprises: an extraction opening for the articles arranged at a distance other than zero from both bottom walls and is obtained through at least one side wall; and a closing tab hinged along a hinge so as to rotate between an open position, in which it is spaced apart from the extraction opening, allowing the consumer articles to be extracted, and a closed position, in which it covers the extraction opening, preventing the consumer articles from being extracted.

A pack for smoking articles can include a group of smoking articles; an inner wrap, which houses the group of smoking articles; a rigid outer container which is cup-shaped, houses the inner wrap and has: an open upper end, a lower wall opposite the open upper end, a front wall and a rear wall opposite one another, and two side walls opposite one another; a lid, which is cup-shaped, is hinged to the outer container along a hinge so as to rotate, relative to the outer container, between an open position and a closed position, and has: an open lower end, an upper wall, a front wall and a rear wall opposite one another, and two side walls opposite one another; and a locking system.
摘要:
A pack comprising: at least one product; a blister provided with a pocket, which houses the product and has an open end surrounded by a flat edge, and a closing tab, connected to the flat edge of the pocket to close the open end; and a support body, which houses the blister in a sliding manner to allow the blister to move relative to the support body between a closing position, in which the product cannot be removed from the pocket, and an extraction position, in which the product can be removed from the pocket. A connection end of the closing tab is fixed to the support body in a permanent and inseparable manner so that the sliding movement of the blister relative to the support body from the closing position to the extraction position causes a progressive separation of the closing tab from the flat edge of the pocket.
摘要:
A wrap for smoking articles, which encloses a group of smoking articles and has, at the top and at the front, a first extraction opening obtained through the wrap by means of a “U”-shaped through cut. The first extraction opening is normally closed by a reusable closing portion, which consists of the part of the wrap surrounded by the through cut and it can be lifted to free the first extraction opening and then lowered again to engage the first extraction opening. A support element is comprised, which is arranged inside the wrap at the first extraction opening, it is glued to the wrap at least by means of a re-stick glue, and it has a second extraction opening, which is smaller than the first extraction opening and it is entirely contained in the first extraction opening.
摘要:
A pack for smoking articles can include two groups of smoking articles arranged adjacent to each other; an inner containing element surrounding the two groups, having two distinct and separate extraction openings to access the respective groups of smoking articles, and having a front wall, two side walls and/or a rear wall; an outer containing element arranged around the inner containing element, surrounding the two groups, and having a rear wall; and two lids, which are hinged at opposite ends of the rear wall of the outer containing element, rotate between an open and closed position of the corresponding extraction openings, and each having a rear wall hinged to the rear wall of the outer containing element, two side walls, one front wall and one end wall.
