2026-06-05 12:30 2026-06-05 13:30 Europe/Madrid State of the art: Digital transformation in the plastics sector

Digital transformation in the plastics sector is advancing, driven by technologies that are already generating real impact on the factory floor.

This session will present two complementary approaches: on the one hand, the application of artificial intelligence in industrial environments by MAPEX, with use cases focused on improving productivity, quality, and data-driven decision-making, including intelligent assistants that interpret production data and propose actions. On the other hand, AR-Experts will present GIRI, an innovative tool for creating work instructions in enriched video format, particularly useful in complex processes such as those associated with injection machinery.

The session will provide a practical overview of the state of the art in digitalization applied to the sector.
