June 20206 MANUFACTURING TECHNOLOGY INSIGHTSToday, plastic has become the material of choice to fulfill several industrial needs due to their high physical and chemical strength, and durability in all environmental conditions. These traits make plastic products increasingly popular in industries such as food packaging, medical products, household consumer goods, and many more. However, while meeting the vast regulatory requirements and constant price pressures, plastic manufacturers most often find themselves riddled with challenges and inefficiencies throughout the production process.In this regard, the emergence of 3D printing has largely improved several aspects of plastic manufacturing and will continue to remain a catalyst for reiterating the processes of developing plastic parts. Meanwhile, the benefits offered by the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) are tremendous. It provides greater accessibility and connectivity via mobile devices, which are advantageous for long-term data collection and troubleshooting. In addition, data analytics support preventative and predictive maintenance to help plastic manufacturers avoid unplanned downtime while improving processes. Besides, by utilizing artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML), organizations hope to simplify manufacturing and maintenance cycles of plastic products faster.In this edition of Manufacturing Technology Insights, we bring you the story of some of the most successful plastic technology solution and service providers that deliver the best outcomes for their clients.
