PMMI Business Intelligence: Data Acquisition, Sharing and Utilization

Packagers and processors see the difficulty of integrating legacy equipment into data connectivity networks and data capture processes as a major barrier to achieving standardization of acquired data and its scalability. However, there are solutions to ease this burden.

That’s according to PMMI Business Intelligence’s “Data Acquisition, Sharing and Utilization,” a report that captures insight from packaging and processing end-users and OEMs on obstacles and benefits of integrating growing levels of digital connectivity and data utilization into manufacturing operations for operational efficiency. The report stems from a Q&A session and roundtable discussions between expert panelists and industry participants at PACK EXPO International 2024.

Solutions to the integration barrier

A key discussion theme was the need to simplify data capture while ensuring the accuracy of data. Recommendations included installing low-cost sensors and maintaining flexibility in data systems to handle diverse protocols from various equipment types.
