“Digitalization Will Make Products Transparent”

The latest trend in digitization  is the Artificial Intelligence of Things. It amounts to “marrying” Artificial Intelligence with the Internet of Things. In the following interview, Martin Dimmler and Martin Rugfelt discuss how companies can profit from AIoT and what plastics manufacturers can learn from its pioneers in other industries.

“Intelligent Automation Brings Systems Closer to their Optimum”

The plastics industry is currently struggling to raise its profile with positive headlines. The Kunststoffe editorial team discussed the present status of the plastics industry with representatives from industry, universities, and trade associations. Besides topics such as recycling and sustainability, the main focus was on recruiting young talent and the image issue.

“Plastics Experts are the Solution –  Not the Problem!”

In its latest investment, the Röchling Group is channeling EUR 50 million into the medical technology sector. In an interview with Kunststoffe, Chairman of the Board, Prof. Dr. Hanns-Peter Knaebel, and Medical Division CEO, Dr. Boris Fröhlich, report on the challenges of cleanroom extrusion, quickfire solutions at a time of pandemic, and creating a home for bats.

“Unfortunately, the Only Globally Accepted Ideology Is Money”

In the wake of the developments in processing methods, the technology of ancillary equipment is also making advances. The key drivers of the developments are cost savings from increasing the energy efficiency of dryers and greater precision in dosing equipment.

Closing a Gap

At the 2019 K fair, Arburg and Simcon showcased a filling process proceeding in real-time, as a 3D animation, on the display of a machine control panel, for an example of sunglasses, made of PA12. All that was needed to prepare this, was to load the simulation model, as well as the geometry of the part, directly onto the machine controls. This sounds almost too easy to be true. Right?

Interview

For almost two decades, an expert committee, meeting once a year, has supported Kunststoffe magazine in determining the state of play in the plastics industry and identifying current technical developments. This time, the traditional spring meeting gave it an opportunity to debate the consequences of the Corona virus.

Starting up under the Shadow  of Corona

Even more than with foodstuffs, what matters in most cases with drug packaging is the contents protected by the wrapping. These are not good conditions to pursue a cycle concept for packaging. But times are changing – perhaps.

“Plastics Play a Key Role in  Lithium-Ion Batteries”

Borealis, Clariant, Remondis, LyondellBasell – many of the big names in the plastics industry announced partnerships with Neste at, or in advance of, K 2019. The Finnish company is a sought-after partner in the industry.

“Chemical Recycling Is Not yet Ready for Commercial Use”

There is little doubt where we are heading: multilayer packaging will have to become easier to recycle – but what does that mean for the technology? And what solutions will the market need and accept? Manufacturers of branded goods are not the only ones who will have to rethink their specifications.
