Measure material utilization efficiency and detect wastage.
SAP ERP Solution For Packaging Industry
The packaging industry is undergoing a major transformation, fueled by rising global demand across eCommerce, food & beverage, pharmaceuticals, and fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG). As packaging becomes a critical differentiator in both functionality and branding, businesses are investing heavily in innovation. The growth in the packaging industry is not just about volume; it reflects a shift toward eco-friendly materials, smart packaging technologies, and automated production processes. Companies are now moving beyond conventional packaging methods to embrace digital transformation, enabling them to meet evolving consumer expectations, regulatory demands, and sustainability goals.
Challenges in the Packaging Industry
1
Material Waste & Inefficiency
Packaging plants often handle large volumes of raw materials such as plastics, paper, glass, or metals. Manual handling, inaccurate measurements, and poor planning lead to material loss, higher scrap rates, and increased costs.
2
Poor Inventory Visibility
Tracking raw materials, work-in-progress, and finished goods without automation often results in stockouts, overstocking, or mismanagement, directly impacting production schedules and cash flows.
3
Lack of Traceability
Customers and regulators demand clear traceability of packaging components (resins, inks, adhesives, etc.) to manage recalls, ensure food-grade safety, and comply with environmental regulations. Manual processes make this nearly impossible.
4
Production Complexity & Quality Issues
From extrusion and molding to printing, labeling, and assembly, packaging involves multi-step processes. Manual oversight leads to errors, inconsistencies in quality, and difficulty adhering to ISO, GMP, or food safety certifications requirements.
5
Regulatory Compliance
Sustainability regulations, labeling laws, and safety standards require detailed documentation and reporting. Manual record-keeping exposes companies to compliance risks, penalties, and operational shutdowns.
6
Supply Chain Disruptions
Raw material price volatility, global logistics challenges, and supplier risks make it difficult to maintain cost efficiency and reliability without a transparent, connected supply chain.
7
Sustainability Pressures
Consumers and governments demand eco-friendly packaging. Manufacturers need digital tools to monitor emissions, waste reduction, and recycled material usage to stay competitive.
