Good morning! New sensors and controls for shredders and granulators are moving these massive machines closer to adoption of artificial intelligence (AI). Hellweg has developed a system to measure bulk flow rate, which it says is a final step before adopting AI in the control system. 

PLASTICS’ Committee on Equipment Statistics (CES) combines equipment data, trade analysis and forecasts to support your strategic planning. We also have interesting stories on the use of a benchtop IMM and a promotion at Sikora.

There is still time to take our mid-year survey. The link is below.

We hope you have a great July 4th holiday weekend!
