Continues Richard Little , ‘ While innovation will remain a key theme throughout the show , machinery , equipment and services that offer real production efficiencies , labour and cost savings as well as helping to deliver on sustainability commitments will be a high priority for visitors at solutions to help them through the increasingly demanding economic challenges .”
Sharing this outlook , Tony McDonald , Sales and Marketing Director at ILAPAK UK said , “ Two of the topics on everyone ’ s lips are workforce shortages and sustainable packaging ..,” adding “ The equipment we will have on show illustrates how we can help .”

Similarly , Cimlogic will be launching its new energy management solution , an additional module to its suite of MES ( Manufacturing Execution System ) Solutions to address the need to minimise energy consumption at a time of soaring prices .
