Your challenges -
Our understanding of AI in the packaging industry

Sustainability, quality & innovation

The use of modern AI technologies opens up great opportunities for the packaging industry, but also places specific demands on management and organization.

Key challenges:

Different materials and complex production systems require a structured, high-quality database for the valid use of AI.

New legal regulations and customer requirements demand innovative solutions for recycling and material separation – AI makes sustainable packaging and resource-saving processes economically feasible.

High standards and fast production require automated, AI-supported quality control and reliable technical documentation.

Global uncertainties make data-based supply chain management with AI necessary in order to identify risks at an early stage and avoid material bottlenecks.

The introduction of AI can only succeed in the long term with targeted integration, training and involvement of all teams – change management and leadership are crucial.

New regulations such as the EU AI Act are expanding the requirements for AI systems in the packaging industry. Companies must operate AI applications in a transparent, secure and legally compliant manner and fulfill comprehensive documentation obligations to ensure compliance and liability.
