Predictive maintenance is at the top of digitalization efforts within packaging and processing, and adoption is rising fast.

That’s according to PMMI Business Intelligence’s 2023 report, “Sustainability and Technology – The Future of Packaging and Processing.” In a survey of industry stakeholders conducted for the report, 71% of respondents said they had some form of predictive maintenance technology in place, compared with just 37% for collaborative robots, the next most popular digitalization initiative.

That high figure for predictive maintenance adoption is even more significant compared to the proportion of respondents (45%) who answered ‘yes’ to the same question when market research firm Interact Analysis asked just two years ago.
