An Absolute Excellence In Packaging
Veljko Zlatanovic, PLM Leader, STAX Technologies Secondary packaging in polyethylene bundles is still very present on the global market. The latest trends with the aim of preserving the environment are slowly changing the market towards packaging in cardboard boxes. Diversa is a hybrid machine that has the ability to quickly pack boxes as well as reliably wrap them in foil. Changing the packaging technology does not require neither the addition nor replacing of modules, but only the change of parameters and the choice of packaging method. 17:20
Palletizing - Flexible And Fast Luc Vanden-Abeele, Marketing Manager, NūMove The proliferation of SKUs demands greater flexibility for any automation initiatives. End-of-the line automation needs to keep up with the new higher throughputs while being flexible enough to accept the actual and future SKU sizes and formats. The latest robotic technologies provide a solution that meets the speed and flexibility requirements. The presentation will summarize the technical challenges encountered to implement a high-speed robotic palletizer for a new facial tissue production line handling up to 100 different products and the benefits of this solution. 17:40

Multipolar Geopolitics And The Impact On Trade Jacob Shapiro, Partner, Director, Chief Strategist, Perch Perspectives & Cognitive Investments The world is moving away from a model of globalization toward a multipolar environment of regional spheres of influence, featuring trade protectionism, rewriting of global supply chains, and supply side economic issues like inflation and shipping disruptions. This presentation will explore how geopolitics is affecting aspects of the global economy like energy, trade, currency, and technology and extrapolating from topical examples in the headlines today will demonstrate why this is a time of tremendous opportunity for those willing to discard preconceived notions about how the world works and to embrace the impact geopolitics is having on the global economy. 08:55
Decarbonizing Tissue – Progress And Potential For The North American Tissue Industry Soile Kilpi, Director, AFRY The NA tissue industry consists of over 20 companies, each with their own set of considerations: manufacturing concepts; scale; asset age; fibre type; location; energy source and fuel type; target market and many more to consider. There is a unifying issue: how to consider and embody sustainability, specifically decarbonization, throughout the manufacturing processes? Looking at how the tissue industry is tackling these topics, with a focus on scope 1 and 2 emissions criteria, and at how decarbonization targets have developed and driven the industry in terms of: energy efficiency; renewable energy generation; changing fiber choices; and packaging considerations.
