“As a manufacturer, you want to know what is happen- ing in the plant. You may want to know the top order, the shipping day, and machine problems. And you want this information without having to create reports manually. AI facilitates a quicker, more accurate rate of knowing what is happening in your plant 24 hours a day. Education and training, office support, and production work is where AI is going to make a difference,” said Greg Tucker, President and CEO, Bay Cities. The AI XPerience will delve into real-world solutions to packaging manufacturing and leveraging Artificial Intelli- gence. Attendees will connect with industry professionals and subject matter experts, share ideas, and build relation- ships that will shape the future of packaging. “Previous AICC Xperiences have informed members on the revolutions brought by digital printing; eCommerce; and emerging brand owner demands,” said Mike D’Ange- lo, AICC President. “AI is going to revolutionize manufac- turing and the AI Xperience is going to explore the advan- tages, savings, improvements, and challenges that AI will bring to box makers.” With limited space available, AICC members are en- couraged to register soon to guarantee your participation.
