PMMI Business Intelligence: The AI Advantage in Equipment: Boosting Performance and Bridging Skills Gaps

Artificial intelligence (AI) has the potential to be a transformative tool for the packaging and processing industry, but the technology includes a few significant drawbacks to consider.

That’s according to PMMI Business Intelligence’s 2024 report, “The AI Advantage in Equipment: Boosting Performance and Bridging Skills Gaps,” where Business Intelligence researchers interviewed industry stakeholders to understand current applications, ambitions, and attitudes on AI in packaging and processing.

Cybersecurity concerns

AI models require data for training, and how much customer data is required depends on the technology.

Predictive maintenance, for example, requires continuous monitoring of end users’ data to function and data ownership varies between solutions. Digital twin simulations, however, can perform their function with just the machine parameters.

Navigating cybersecurity issues is always a challenge, but as data security and technology improve, legislation changes, and public trust in these tools increases, it may be possible to overcome many of these concerns.
