iMould, the first intelligent mould, introduced by IML Solutions during K2016 trade show, took the 2nd prize in the machinery category during the Sustainability Awards organized by Packaging Europe.
Sustainability awards celebrate innovation and creativity that makes significant environmental advances across the CPG supply chain.
The experts panel highlights the improvements that predictive maintenance brings to packaging producers:
“iMould can reduce unexpected malfunctions, and therefore the scrap, by as much as a 65 per cent”
The magazine emphasizes also the quickness in the diagnosis of malfunctions: 20 minutes average vs. 60 minutes in a system controlled by an operator with traditional equipment. That is more than 40 minutes of energy no longer wasted.
