er hhs has revolved around secure gluing and meeting the high demands imposed by their customers. No matter whether you process cold glue or hot melt, or whether you want to verify the quality of your products with the help of sensors or cameras, Baumer hhs aims to provide the right solution. “Sustainability is on everyone’s lips. We are only at the beginning of an exciting journey. But what does sus- tainability actually mean in a company like Baumer hhs? We asked ourselves three questions on how can we be economically sustainable for our customers in the market, socially sustainable for our employees and our environ- ment, and ecologically sustainable for our company and the environment? These questions have led us to the new Baumer hhs motto: Rethink. Renew. Recycle,” says Thom- as Walther, Corporate Strategy & Innovation for Baumer hhs GmbH. “By aligning our messages on the sustainable worth of our services and the industry as a whole, we can better inform our customers, and in turn their customers.” Said Ian Bates, Marketing & Partnership Director for Two Sides UK: “We’re pleased to welcome Baumer hhs on board as members of Two Sides. Our partnership with them will help to communicate the facts around sustain- able adhesive application in the paper and paper-based packaging sector, informing brands and consumers alike.” For more info, visit twosidesna.org .

TAPPI announced a webinar now available, “Use AI to Give Junior Operators the Performance of Experienced Staff.” Paper, tissue, packaging, pulp, and related industries are facing labor and productivity challenges that are only get- ting worse with mass retirement. There’s an opportunity to enable the new front-line employees to be successful from day one through using new technology. Learn how AI can assist operators in identifying which process settings to change and how to optimize for a given outcome (lowest cost or highest throughput). AI can give operators foresight into how changes or current settings will impact quality (such as moisture, strength) to ensure they stay in spec. Current data and processes contain invaluable, but si- loed information for your operators. AI can be an acceler- ator for consolidating, sorting, and distributing knowledge throughout the front-line. To drive adoption of these advanced technologies, they need to be packaged and presented in a way that’s intuitive and simple to use. Understand how AI can aug- ment operators to increase productivity, regardless of their tenure. Analyze and prepare for adoption of AI centric technologies on the plant floor.
