How Packaging Leaders Scale Automation Under Uncertainty
OEM Magazine
june 5, 2026
Growth doesn't have to mean uncontrolled complexity. According to PMMI's From Complexity to Capability white paper, the dominant message from packaging and processing executives is to start small, preserve options, and build confidence before fully automating.
When asked how to balance people and technology while scaling, 57% of leaders chose "start small, go slowly, and keep contingency plans." “Operator training, startup support, and front-end exposure” followed at 39%, with “stabilizing the process before automating” at 34%. The pattern points to a clear preference for execution discipline over speed.
