Potential Through Digitalisation in the Packaging Industry

When people think of the packaging industry, they think of sustainable packaging and not directly of digital transformation. Yet the potential is enormous. At FACHPACK 2024, COSMO CONSULT will be demonstrating the teamwork between the industry and the right digitalisation strategy.

Automation, optimised cross-departmental dialogues and better decision-making are quickly defined as goals. But what is behind more efficiency and process optimisation? Where do companies start with machine learning, business intelligence and IoT sensor technology?

Information-driven digitalisation is the key. The exchange of data between an ERP-system and production machines as well as centralised management may sound complex. However, the opportunities range from optimised order scheduling and machine planning to predictive maintenance and the creation of demand forecasts in one click.

Industry solutions such as COSMO Print and Packaging cover all aspects of industry processes and guarantee a high degree of flexibility. A high digitalisation level supports efficient and reliable process control. This allows customer requirements to be fulfilled quickly and reliably in a dynamic market. COSMO CONSULT offers the DigiCheck, so that companies can objectively identify their current level of digital maturity. Based on this self-test, it is possible to design an individual digitalisation strategy.

The main theme of FACHPACK 2024, ‘Transition in Packaging’, must therefore include digital transformation. The fair in Nuremberg will be a big networking opportunity for the packaging industry and will cover the entire process chain of the sector. COSMO CONSULT will highlight the potential of digitalisation and will provide insights into practical industry-specific solutions. The mutual exchange offers the opportunity to discover innovations that fit the individual baseline of each company.
