Packaging machinery manufacturers are focusing on designing compact equipment that can integrate into existing plant spaces, handle delicate materials without damage, and is user-friendly in operation and maintenance.<\/p>\n

Challenges such as labour shortages, the integration of AI, sustainability considerations and fluctuating US government policies are influencing the industry\u2019s trajectory.<\/p>\n

The infographic highlights the ongoing hiring and retention difficulties faced by original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and end users.<\/p>\n

AI, automated systems and data analytics are seen as solutions to enhance efficiency amidst labour challenges, with a growing emphasis on practical applications for on-the-floor problem-solving.<\/p>\n

Workforce development programmes are becoming a strategic investment for companies.<\/p>\n

Despite its potential, predictive maintenance has seen a slow uptake, with end users wary of costs and reluctant to shift from established preventative maintenance routines.<\/p>\n

However, some OEMs have reported improved manufacturing efficiency through the integration of predictive systems into the human-machine interface (HMI). Preventive maintenance offers control over timing and costs.<\/p>\n

Sustainability remains a critical factor for end users aiming to improve profitability. There is a noticeable shift as companies attempt to balance environmental objectives with cost and operational constraints.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, tariffs and changing US policies add to market uncertainty, complicating strategic planning.<\/p>\n

PMMI market development vice-president Jorge Izquierdo stated: \u201cEnd-user customers are also increasingly challenged by high stock-keeping unit counts, innovative packaging formats and the need to minimise downtime.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
