Plastics & Packaging Converters
The floor knows waste is high; nobody can say which job, machine or shift drives it, because it lives in a paper register that never gets costed, and the regrind and scrap-sale value never reconcile.
Who has it
Every converter, with different drivers: makeready and reel-change waste for flexible packaging converters; regrind ratio and reject rate by mould or cavity, and preform weight on PET, for injection and blow moulders; board trim for corrugated and rigid box makers; tape denier and line scrap for pipe, profile and extrusion units.
What we build
Digitise the waste capture at the machine, cluster it by job, machine, shift and customer, and reconcile a true scrap-and-regrind ledger so the missing kilograms and the scrap-sale value finally show up. No model changes a machine setting; it shows where the waste is.
What is automated, where AI helps, who signs off
The reliable spine
The non-AI spine carries it: digitised waste capture at the machine, the arithmetic that clusters scrap and regrind by job, machine, shift and customer, and the ledger that reconciles regrind returned and scrap-sale value so the missing kilograms show up.
Where AI helps
AI is confined to reading paper waste registers and handwritten shift logs and matching each entry to the right job, machine and shift; no model changes a machine setting, it only shows where the waste sits.
Who signs off
A named person signs off anything touching money, stock, a customer promise, a regulated filing, a payment, a price, a credit decision or a people decision.
What changes day to day
The few lines and repeat jobs driving most loss surface quickly. A corrugated-box maker cuts board waste by about a fifth by fixing the worst-offending lines and jobs.
