The technological advancement of packaging machines is primarily driven by industrial automation technology, industrial IT and digitalization in the field of mechanical engineering.
As in almost all areas of life in which digitalization plays a role, AI is one of the drivers - also in packaging machine construction.
Although the use of robotics is not new to the industry, new technological developments in the fields of kinematics, software and AI are constantly opening up new fields of application, right up to the “dark factory”, which is 100% automated. Digitalization also plays a very important role on the way to ever more sustainable packaging solutions. To put it bluntly: without digitalization, there can be no sustainable packaging. In this two-hour lecture s ...
