摘要

The present disclosure is related to methods and machines for creating packaging materials and reordering supply materials. As one example, a machine of the present disclosure includes a supply material input for receiving raw supplies, one or more machine components configured to convert the raw supplies into completed packaging materials, a material output for outputting completed packaging materials created using the raw supplies, and a processing element configured to receive data corresponding to the one or more machine components. The processing element determines using at least one of an initial raw supply level, a completed packaging materials level, one or more current packaging material orders, and/or historical operating parameters of the one or more machine components to determine if additional raw supplies are required.
