Round table discussion “Digitalisation – top or flop? Which tools really help the plastics industry”
The panel will discuss how far digitalisation has progressed in the industry and what potential remains untapped. It will also identify how digitalisation can contribute to solving the challenges facing the industry – efficiency, sustainability and the shortage of skilled workers.
Digital tools can significantly support the circular plastics economy. What concrete impetus and ideas already exist? What prerequisites are missing for a real breakthrough?
Digitalisation has often become part of everyday life in modern plastics processing. Which digital methods are now making production-relevant data usable? What role do AI-based evaluations and AI-supported methods play in simulation, production and process optimisation?
Ultimately, end-to-end digitalisation enables complete transparency of production processes and material cycles. What specific data and findings are valuable for supporting the goals of sustainability, profitability and efficiency?
