Plastics

Manage variety of products and increase output

Despite some media reports, the worldwide demand for plastics continues to rise and Europe remains one of the most important production locations in international comparison. Of course, topics such as circular economy and plastics recycling have a great influence on the industry. By 2030, the re-use and recycling rate within the EU is expected to reach 60 percent. This will have an impact both on the supply chain and on internal processes, especially in production.

The industry focuses on optimizing the use of raw materials, managing recycling processes and increasing productivity in value-adding processes. This includes the optimization of supply chain processes or continued automation in the area of vertical integration and plant connection for ongoing process monitoring. Innovations are pursued in the area of in-process quality control and predictive quality.

concircle has been involved in the digitalization of core processes in sales, product data configuration, planning and production execution for well-known customers and can demonstrate expertise and industry-specific solutions in these areas. Thus block planning solutions for efficient plant utilization have already been implemented as well as fully integrated solutions for material balancing (plant connection for automatic consumption recording at the hoppers).
