Five AI Solutions Currently Helping Packaging and Processing

OEM MAGAZINE
Sept. 5, 2024

While many AI-enhanced products are on the market, PMMI Business Intelligence’s 2024 report, “The AI Advantage in Equipment: Boosting Performance and Bridging Skills Gaps” highlights five that are or will have the most significant impact on packaging and processing operations.

A relatively new tool developed by multiple automation vendors and solutions providers, AI assistants are large language models (LLMs) that can assist individuals in performing a wide variety of functions. They employ the same concept used by ChatGPT but have been trained on data specific to the industry so they can provide more useful and reliable outputs. Some of the most common uses include coding, admin, customer service, machine manual creation and brainstorming.
