Industry 4.0: Considerations for Packaging

Standard IoPP Webinar

The next industrial revolution is here—it’s the digitization of industry. It affects the entire value chain, from packaging to customer. It’s global in scope and it will impact both small and large companies. It’s called Industry 4.0, and it’s already making early appearances in some segments of packaged goods.

Consumer product companies will be looking to Industry 4.0 for data analytics to align packaging operations with the business goals of reduced time-to-market, global supply chain visibility, product demand management and flexibility, total landed cost, compliance and traceability. Manufacturers that do these operations best in the digitization of industry will have the best chance of becoming preferred suppliers to their end users.

Learning objectives:

• Learn the basics of Industry 4.0, and where and how it impacts packaging
• Become familiar with the common language, universal toolbox and enablers for Industry 4.0
• Know how to be on the leading edge of this trend
• Hear the need-to-knows and takeaways: How can packaging teams make a difference?
