AICC, The Independent Packaging Association, will host a webinar on Wednesday, September 24, at 2:00 p.m. ET focused on automating manual processes to improve efficiency in corrugated packaging plants.
Manual processes such as scheduling, data capture, and logistics planning are often hidden bottlenecks that slow production and increase costs. Left unaddressed, they can limit plant throughput and strain already lean teams. The session, presented in partnership with Amtech Software, will outline practical steps to replace these manual tasks with automated systems that deliver measurable improvements.
The program will focus on three areas where automation can have the greatest impact:
Scheduling: Automating job sequencing to reduce manual effort and free schedulers to focus on proactive decision-making.
Data capture: Collecting setup, run, and downtime information automatically to improve accuracy and reduce operator workload.
Logistics: Using intelligent trailer planning to increase load capacity, lower transportation costs, and streamline routing.
The webinar is designed for plant managers, operations leaders, manufacturing directors, and business executives exploring modernization and disaster recovery strategies. Organizers emphasize that the session will provide practical takeaways on how automation can improve safety, reduce costs, and position plants for long-term competitiveness.
