gbo datacomp starts year-end rally in the packaging industry

Augsburg, 15.11.2018 After the GBO Datacomp last you Portfolio in the area of industry solutions has expanded, Augsburg is now starting the year-end spurt on a large scale. And who will win the race? Clearly, for the first time this year, the packaging industry. “We are launching two projects here before the end of the year,” explains managing director Michael Möller. “Sales packaging is an important part of a product thanks to its individual design and individual feel,” says Möller. In addition to individualization, a particular factor is sustainability, which will be regulated by a corresponding law at the beginning of 2019. The manufacturing industry must respond to these diverse requirements by continuously improving production processes. The packaging must be environmentally friendly and recyclable, and smaller editions should also remain economically profitable. “Manufacturers are simply forced to invest in increasingly modern manufacturing processes in order to meet these requirements,” says Möller. In addition, the packaging industry cares about the next generation of skilled workers. According to a study from Austria, 71 percent of jobs in the packaging sector there are vacant and this is while demand is increasing at the same time. The packaging industry must therefore inevitably expand its path to becoming a smart factory. It is therefore hard to avoid modern MES solutions in order to be able to implement the primacy of Industry 4.0 in a timely manner. “In our opinion, it is precisely these developments that are decisive for us to start two major international packaging projects at the same time,” says Möller in a nutshell. gbo datacomp is a specialist in manufacturing management and software development and a holistic solution provider of cutting-edge MES solutions. With BiSoftMes gbo Datacomp ensures the highest quality, stands for seamless Traceability and optimizes manufacturing processes.

GBO datacomp knows the requirements and has the solutions - MES solutions such as the BiSoftMES software, to be more precise. For the MES experts at gbo datacomp, it is important to that every sector maintains its individual requirements even under Industry 4.0. “We are constantly working to further develop existing industry solutions in order to support the respective industries in their development,” says Müller. “With these conditions, we are well positioned and well prepared for orders in the coming year. ”
