Global plastic processing machinery market: Increasing adoption of automated machines

The plastic processing process is being mechanized, various steps are being initiated by vendors to produce automated plastic processing machines. The need to integrate automated machines in the process line has increased owing to the growing need to meet market demands for optimized flexibility and personalization, in terms of product design and precision. Individual standalone machines can now be adopted in the production line using automated software; this enables large industrial plants to partially shift toward unmanned production processes hence ensuring high performance with low human resource requirement and less scope for human error.

According to a senior analyst at Technavio for research on unit operations, “Robots are being used to enhance plastic processing. For example, automated IMM are equipped with robots that aid in easy removal of manufactured plastic parts. Additionally, they have features such as efficient temperature control systems that support rapid cooling of the product. Moreover, plastic processing machines are equipped with PLC and controllers, which communicates to a human-machine interface through communication protocols. In addition, servo drives are integrated with plastic processing machines to synchronize conveyor movement. All these benefits provided by automated machines have resulted in an increase in demand for such machines in plastic processing and this trend is expected to continue during the forecast period.”
