BOTTLE MAKING 23 PETplanet Insider Vol. 26 Welding Alloys company building time and improving overall equipment effectiveness (OEE), improved bottle quality control, minimising energy consumption, material waste and labour costs through data-driven optimisation, increased flexibility in market requirements and production schedules, and predictive machine and mould maintenance. Augmented reality for PET bottle production Augmented reality (AR) is another modern technology driving innovation in manufacturing. AR, is already utilised in gaming and education, and is now being adopted into manufacturing. By overlaying digital information onto the real world, AR can enhance productivity, quality control, and training. AR can optimise training and development in PET bottle manufacturing, offering immersive, hands-on learning experiences. Of particular note are packaging trends that use AR technology to offer new, interactive ways of communicating about the product and the brand, bringing the product to life digitally and increasing brand awareness. AR also offers a safe, immersive platform for training and reduces the risk of costly errors. www.welding-alloys.com
