HMPS has developed HMPSVision to enable remote assistance and self-diagnostic ability to resolve faults. The devices will work in challenging environments and can be transferred from machine to machine.

HMPS creates a range of packaging systems that are implemented across Australia and internationally. The company designs and engineers robotic and automation machinery to suit specific packaging needs.

This HMPS system uses a hand-held portable video system (Android mobile phone), which can be positioned anywhere in the machine.

The company says the system is easy to use and install; comes in a water-resistant case; is simple to configure and mount; able to be relocated to different HMPS machines; and provides direct vision of faults and videos of faults. The system is compatible with most HMPS models and it can tag videos with a fault narrative.

Our Top 100 2025 edition of Food & Drink Business magazine is more than the annual flagship Top 100 Report. Industry leaders reflect on the year past and the one ahead, we provide our annual news review, M&A wrap-up, and all the executive moves, and a Roman-inspired sports drink, Posca, is our final Rising Star for 2025.

A blend of salt, red wine vinegar, and water – known as Posca – was the ‘original sports drink’, helping to keep the soldiers of the Roman Empire marching up to 30 kilometres per day. Keira Joyce spoke with Posca Hydrate co-founders, Merrick Watts and Ed Stening, about reviving a 2000-year-old functional beverage for the modern healthy lifestyle.
