Artificial Intelligence in service of the packaging industry

The use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the packaging market is set to grow rapidly in the coming years

Spending on artificial intelligence in food packaging is increasing progressively

That's according to a report by Future Market Insights, which predicts they will triple over the next 10 years.

Artificial intelligence algorithms can generate custom packaging designs and provide recommendations for packaging materials that match brand and customer needs.
The report also points out the use of artificial intelligence in the food industry such as the use of advanced technology, improved automation, and computer-readable information. It is expected to successfully improve multiple processes in packaging. This includes detecting defects or inconsistencies in packaging materials, managing supply chains, analyzing market trends, and other variables to optimize production and distribution processes.

Trends that shape the future of the industry and open up new opportunities

AI can be used to facilitate the development of smart packaging solutions, such as active monitoring systems, temperature-sensitive labels and interactive packaging.

AI algorithms are used to identify potential problems in advance, enabling proactive maintenance. Sophisticated computer reading algorithms are also used that can quickly identify product defects. AI-administered analysis and optimization tools help with supply chain management. Voice and image recognition makes operations easier, improves accuracy and enhances user experience. Data analytics are used by enterprises to gain valuable insights into consumer behavior and market trends.

The report also identifies several market barriers, such as high implementation costs, privacy and data security concerns, difficulties in integrating with existing infrastructure, and ethical and legal considerations, such as the impact on human labour.
