Are You Using AI In Your Box Plant? If So, BCN Wants To Hear About It! Let’s be honest, there’s no way around it anymore. If you’re running a box plant and trying to stay competitive, you’ve probably had at least one conversation about AI, if not many more. Whether it’s curiosity, skepticism, or cautious experimentation, AI has officially entered the chat. Across the industry, AI is being increasingly integrated into processes and tasks like scheduling, maintenance, data organization, customer service, and admin. The plac- es that quietly eat up time and energy. We want to hear how box makers are actually utiliz- ing this technology. What inefficiences were you trying to solve first? Is AI helping, or still more talk than action? How has adoption gone internally? Have you seen real results, or are you still figuring out where it fits? How do you think AI fits in the long-term vision for your company? We’re compiling your AI experiences to tell a broader story about how this technology is taking hold in the in- dependent corrugated and folding carton industries. The beauty of our industry is that even when we compete, we still learn from one another. This feature is about sharing ideas, not giving away secrets. If you’re interested in being part of the conversation, please reach out to Ashley Prazych at aprazych@nvpub- lications.com.
