2025 Knowledge Transfer for Machine Operators
Knowledge Transfer for Machine Operators: From Paper to Digital Intelligence, published by PMMI – The Association for Packaging and Processing Technologies in November 2025, examines knowledge-transfer challenges and practical solutions informed by a pre-event survey, expert-panel Q&A, and roundtable discussions at PACK EXPO Las Vegas 2025. Focus areas include workforce development and retention, knowledge capture and documentation, and digital-tool adoption and access — covering verification of SOPs, centerlining of machine settings, and mobile-first knowledge bases. The analysis indicates organizations tend to favor operator-verified content and machine-sourced data; emerging patterns show QR codes, tailored videos, and AI-assisted search improve usability, and charts highlight comparative adoption trends and barriers. The report reveals where engineering teams are prioritizing investments to strengthen operational resilience.
