Visitors will be able to discover a wide range of developments on standard solutions as well as new innovations in the different exhibition halls, ranging from packaging to material handling, conveying and storage technologies to software solutions. It’s this variety that makes LogiMAT so interesting for visitors with a variety of industry expertise. We have already had around 130 pre-announcements of new developments, so it should be a very interesting show.
Baumer hhs has announced its CorrBox Solution, a modular glueing system for corrugated convertors featuring a sensor that can detect adhesives without the need for additives, and a multi-application head for various viscosities and a smoother start-up process.
According to FEFCO, single-use corrugated cardboard demonstrates a lower environmental impact than reusable plastic packaging solutions – but variable performances across sustainability categories ultimately provide uncertain conclusions. Can comparing materials – and, in some cases, pitting reuse against recycling – actually provide actionable solutions when it comes to facilitating a circular economy for packaging?
According to a survey by Gartner, next-generation automation, solutions that enable collaboration, and sustainability initiatives are some of the key technology themes for supply chain management and optimisation identified by supply chain leaders in 2022.
