Industry 4.0: Packaging industry among the leaders

31 May 2016

Industrial companies across the globe are getting down to business with Industry 4.0. Companies want to invest in digitisation. A major focus will be on digital technologies like sensors or connectivity devices, and on software and applications like manufacturing execution systems. These are the results of the global study “Industry 4.0: Building the digital enterprise” which surveyed over 2,000 companies from 9 industry sectors in 26 countries.
According to the survey, forest, paper & packaging companies are surprisingly advanced. They reported some of the highest levels of digitisation and are expecting to generate greater cost savings than any other sector (Press Release PwC, 13 April 2016).
