Understanding Kontrol 4.0
Kontrol 4.0 is a real-time monitoring system that gives you full visibility over your pallet wrapping process. It’s designed to retrofit easily to any existing wrapping machine, turning it into a data-driven, insight-led part of your production line.
With Kontrol 4.0, pallet wrapping stops being a blind spot - and becomes a process you can see, understand and improve.

What does it actually do?
Kontrol 4.0 tracks key metrics every time a pallet is wrapped - and sends the data to your own secure online dashboard. That means you can:
Track cost-per-pallet in real time
Measure film usage and spot waste
Monitor wrap consistency and stability
Compare performance across shifts, lines or sites
Set alerts for unexpected changes
Multi-site, multi-line control
Unified Dashboard, Total Control
Oversee all your pallet wrapping operations from a single, intuitive interface. Kontrol 4.0 empowers you to:
- Monitor performance across multiple lines and sites.
- Compare data and identify optimization opportunities.
- Make informed decisions, anytime, anywhere.
Designed to make your job easier
We built Kontrol 4.0 to help teams across packaging, production, procurement and CI work smarter - not harder.
Whether you're on the line or managing group performance across multiple sites, Kontrol 4.0 helps you make better decisions, faster.
Not just data – insight you can act on
We don't believe in collecting numbers for the sake of it. Kontrol 4.0 helps you answer real-world questions like:
- Why is film usage rising on Line 2?
- Are we actually hitting our cost-per-pallet target?
- Is that supplier really delivering the promised improvements?
- What's causing instability on these loads?
- Can we prove the pallet left our site in spec?
This isn't about guesswork – it's about knowing, and doing something with it.
FAQs
Yes, Kontrol 4.0 can be retrofitted to any pallet wrapping machine, regardless of make or model. We’ve yet to find a machine we can’t fit Kontrol 4.0 to.
Kontrol 4.0 delivers accuracy within 2% across all the key metrics it measures.
Installation time depends on the type of machine but typically takes between 4-6 hours.
Yes, Kontrol 4.0 requires access to your factory Wi-Fi. If this poses a cyber security concern, we can provide a dedicated router for the system.
Unlike generic line monitoring systems like LineView, Kontrol 4.0 is purpose-built to track pallet wrapping performance in detail. Most line systems simply don’t go deep enough to show what’s really happening at the wrapper.
Some of the latest pallet wrapping machines come with built-in monitoring features - but that only works in practice if all your machines are the same brand and relatively new. In most operations, that’s just not the case, leaving you with missing data or dashboards that don’t talk to each other. Other retrofittable systems exist, but they often only work with certain machine types - which limits their usefulness.
Kontrol 4.0 can be fitted to any pallet wrapping machine - any brand, any model, any age - and it gives you live, in-depth data on wrapping performance, all in one central dashboard.
