Packaging and plastics manufacturers operate with thin margins, high volumes, and increasingly strict regulations (EU PPWR, SUP Directive). At the same time, customers demand shorter runs, rapid changeovers, and demonstrably circular materials. Infor CloudSuite is industry-specific for multi-modal production in this sector.
Your challenges
- Razor-thin margins per unit. Every percent of waste or overproduction directly impacts your bottom line.
- Multi-modal production. Injection molding, blow molding, extrusion, and thermoforming side by side.
- Rapid changeovers between runs. Shorter production runs demand real-time planning and automated shopfloor control.
- Strict lot traceability. Traceable to the gram level for food contact, pharma, and medical applications.
- Sustainability as a hard requirement. PCR content, CO₂ footprint, recyclability, and EPR are requested in every quote.

Digitalization in Metal & Mechatronics: opportunities and challenges
Metal and mechatronics companies combine sheet metal and machining work, assembly and software. Customer-specific work and repeat series run on the same machines, while margins are under pressure and technical staff are scarce. Infor CloudSuite is industry-specific for this hybrid reality.
