Sustainability and Automation: Two mega trends shaping the packaging industry

London Packaging Week is proud to partner with Heidelberg for this upcoming webcast on 7 July. Heidelberg provides insight into what to expect from them on the day.

Kerstin Haase, Heidelberger Druckmaschinen AG, in conversation with Matt Rockley, Heidelberg UK. Discover the industry’s latest sustainable packaging innovations and automation technologies, and how you can incorporate them into your printing processes.

During this webinar, we will be delving into…

Sustainable packaging production solutions

Heidelberg is a worldwide supplier for end-to-end solutions in the printing industry with a strong focus on packaging. When it comes to sustainability, Heidelberg sees the following trends driving customers and Heidelberg innovations:

• Necessity for carbon footprint reduction as a success factor in packaging print production.
• Ever an increasing need for energy and resource-saving during packaging print production.
• Cross-industry initiatives and developments for higher recycling rate and the circular economy for fibre-based packaging.

Use of AI in Printing and Automation

In printing, we see an increased use of robotic functions to improve precision and productivity and reduce production time. The use of automation and artificial intelligence helps to coordinate and optimise production and operation.

Kerstin and Matt will discuss:

• How modern printing presses and colour and quality devices support saving CO2.
• How printers can benefit from automation in press and post-press with intelligent assistant systems and robotics.
• What do AI, cloud computing and automated consulting services bring to the printing industry?
