Since over 95 years Agr International, Inc. is strongly engaged in research and development dedicated to providing solutions that help improve the quality, safety and efficacy of the packaging we are relying on in our daily life.
We have seen an evolution in solutions from mechanic to electric then to electronic and computer controlled solutions. The common denominator was however always the need for the operator to set-up the machines according to the requirements as well as the tested glass bottle or jar.
With faster processing power and innovative algorithms Agr was able to change the archaic way of measurement set-up to an automatic solution and assisting in reaching sustainability goals with measurement solutions but also in analyzing and optimizing the design of the container.
The presentation will feature approaches on Product Sustainability through Lightweighting as well as Process Sustainability through at the Line Monitoring and generation of actionable data as a base for Industry 4.0 and KI.
Examples will include financial gains as well as a CO2 reduction through lightweighting and a reduction of Carbon Footprint due to the generation of fast actionable data.
