  • LearnuFacture: Machine learning is being used to improve packaging quality and production efficiency. It speeds up decision-making, for example, to automate complex tasks such as the packaging of non-uniform products.
  • Responsibility 2.0: AI can be used to optimise packaging choices based on material and logistical impact. By analysing packaging life cycles, AI offers the potential to drive improvements in the circular economy.
  • Intelligent Design: Generative AI is being used to craft images and compelling copy, targeting defined consumer groups. AI can instantly test and optimise designs against clear metrics such as recognition and impact.
