PSI Invests In Göpfert Rotary Die Cutter Evolution

PMMI Report (CONT’D FROM PAGE 58)

Digital twin simulations can be utilized by machine build- ers to optimize key machine metrics, such as throughput, which can improve machine performance. Predictive main- tenance reduces the frequency of machine downtime. When combined with improved training from connected worker platforms, this can have a significant impact on a machine’s OEE. Mitigating Skills Gaps And Labor Issues The final significant impact AI will have on the packag- ing industry, according to feedback received from PMMI, is in mitigating skills gaps within the industry. The optimized training provided in connected worker platforms can en- sure that all employees are receiving the highest quality training available to bridge skills gaps. AI assistants and generative AI predictive maintenance solutions allow users to ask questions regarding issues they are having on machines, further enabling staff to up- skill independently and reduce the risk of human error. AI assistants can also ensure good practice is upheld during coding by improving syntax and comments. Due to the nature of AI models, the longer these tech- nologies are used and the more data they process, the better the outputs become. Integrating AI technologies into a company is not a one-time improvement like previ- ous automation technologies; continuous improvement is evident in important metrics.

Williamsport, Maryland based Packaging Services Indus- tries (PSI) announced its latest investment: the Göpfert Rotary Die Cutter Evolution. With this state-of-the-art tech- nology, PSI said it is not just upgrading but revolutioniz- ing its capabilities. The Göpfert Rotary Die Cutter Evolu- tion triples the run speed of its existing die cutters and

streamlines efficiency by enabling simultaneous exterior and interior printing in just a single pass. Göpfert said the advancement empowers them to collaborate directly with customers’ marketing teams, offering tailored branding solutions to set them apart from the competition and ele- vate the unboxing experience.
