“Growing Adoption of Smart Packaging Solutions”
One prominent trend in the folding gluing machines market is the growing adoption of smart packaging solutions enabled by advanced automation and machine connectivity. This trend is driven by the need for higher production speeds, improved precision, and reduced operational costs. For instance, BOBST has integrated Industry 4.0 features into its NOVAFOLD 110 machine, which offers real-time data exchange, remote diagnostics, and enhanced production flexibility. This connectivity allows manufacturers to monitor machine performance, adjust settings remotely, and reduce downtime, leading to increased overall efficiency. As packaging industries move toward more eco-friendly solutions, folding gluing machines are also incorporating features that enable the use of sustainable materials, further enhancing their appeal. This growing focus on digitalization and customized packaging is pushing the demand for folding gluing machines, as businesses seek efficient, high-speed, and cost-effective solutions to meet both sustainability goals and market demands.
