March 4, 2025

The packaging and processing industry continues to seek better ways to bridge the chronic skills gap and labor shortages experienced in recent years. Increasingly, mitigation efforts include a strong focus on retention and smart technologies, according to Technology & Workforce: Using Smart Technologies to Bridge the Skills Gap, a white paper from PMMI Business Intelligence, a division of PMMI, The Association for Packaging and Processing Technologies, the producer of the PACK EXPO portfolio of trade shows.

Based on input from representatives of consumer packaged goods companies and OEMs participating in PMMI’s Vision 2030 sessions in November 2024 at PACK EXPO International in Chicago, the report reveals the top three solutions to workforce limitations are automating changeovers, app-based troubleshooting, and greater reliance on digital technology.
