Challenges and Opportunities for Packaging and Processing Operations, published by PMMI – The Association for Packaging and Processing Technologies in October 2022, examines evolving operational priorities using insights from Vision 2030 focus groups and a pre-event survey at PACK EXPO International 2022. The analysis indicates four cross-cutting focus areas—sustainability (material machinability and supply consistency), workforce development and retention (automation, training and knowledge transfer), remote access and cybersecurity, and predictive maintenance (including thermography, vibration analysis and CMMS)—and provides comparative context across CPGs, OEMs and suppliers; charts highlight trade-offs and implementation barriers. The report reveals where engineering teams are prioritizing investments to strengthen operational resilience.
