BCN To Host Free Webinar On Machine Learning

Board Converting News will host a free webinar on March 28, 2022, at 10:00 EST on “How Machine Learning Will Change the Corrugated Industry.” Moderating a panel of experts, BCN’s Editor in Chief Len Prazych will help attendees learn about the corrugated facility of the future and specifically, where data is harvest- ed and analyzed, increasing output and profit margins by orders of mag- nitude, and even predicting and preventing breakdowns before they happen. “In the nearly 150 years since corrugated box manu- facturing machines came into existence, output, efficiency, Len Prazych

and the bottom line has ridden largely on guesswork and intuition,” says Prazych. “Machine Learning will no longer be seen as a cutting-edge technology, but rather as a ne- cessity. Its strategic incorporation into operations will al-

Each pan- elist brings a different perspective to the topic, which will be dissected via a series of questions during the 45-minute pro- gram. A live 15-minute Q&A session follows the pre-recorded webinar. Matthew Miller is a technology director with expertise in bringing products, pro- cesses and technology to life. An expert at aligning technology solutions with custom- er needs, he has successfully led teams to build products that have led to commercial growth and increased productivity. As a Senior Data Scientist, Justin Gagne builds reliable production-ready machine learning services. His career is centered around continual de- velopment, begin- Matt Miller

BALEMASTER: 75 YEARS STRONG — 1946 - 2021 —

Wired. Proven auto-tie technology outputs tighter bales, faster . Our approach to auto-tie technology is a combination of an electro/mechanical process, operator-tested automation, and built-to-last construction and design principles. So, until wireless baling is invented, there’s nothing easier, more reliable or faster than a Balemaster auto-tie baler.
