Nine months before the start of the next \u201eFachPack\u201c from 25 to 27 September 2018 in Nuremberg, there is some news. Cornelia Fehlner is the new event director. The trade fair's brand identity has been updated. The topic of \u201eIndustry 4.0\u201c will play a major role at the packaging trade fair.<\/p>\n

As early as October 2017 Cornelia Fehlner<\/strong> the Event management<\/strong> the FachPack from Heike Slotta<\/strong> took over the position. The 31-year-old graduate in cultural economics and geography previously worked as a business promoter for the city of Weiden. Her predecessor Heike Slotta will assume overall strategic responsibility for the \u201eFachPack\u201c, \u201eBrauBeviale\u201c, \u201eEUROGUSS\u201c and \u201eSFC Street Food Convention\u201c trade fairs at \u201eN\u00fcrnbergMesse GmbH\u201c.<\/p>\n

According to the new event manager, she intends to continue her previous \u201eCustomer view<\/strong>\u201c at trade fairs and utilise her experience in business promotion. She wants to use FachPack as a European Industry meeting place for packaging, processes and technology<\/strong> further strengthen existing customer relationships and attract new market participants to the trade fair, says Fehlner.<\/p>

Industry 4.0: intelligent packaging and drug serialisation<\/h2>\n

The topic of \u201eIndustry 4.0<\/strong>\u201c will determine the trade fair appearances of around 1,500 exhibitors. According to an international survey, 88 per cent of companies expect greater profits through the use of Industry 4.0 technologies, while 50 per cent cite greater flexibility as an advantage. These expectations are supported by a study conducted by the consulting agency McKinsey. Maintenance costs and machine downtimes could be reduced by half through Industry 4.0, while productivity could increase by up to 55 per cent. No wonder that 48 per cent of companies are planning to use RFID technology.<\/p>\n

At FachPack 2018, visitors will be able to experience innovations from the \u201eIndustry 4.0\u201c sector, primarily in the form of intelligent packaging<\/strong> for intralogistics and shipping. Amongst other things, packaging is RFID<\/strong>-chips into the IT environment of production. However, possibilities for production customisation through to the automated production of individual items and the use of smart glasses in production will also be on show. The trade fair will also showcase solutions for the serialisation of packaging for prescription and over-the-counter medicines. In February 2019, the \u201eDelegated Regulation on the Anti-Counterfeiting Directive<\/strong>\u201c of the European Union came into force. The guarantee of traceability and product safety required by this is a particular challenge for the packaging industry.<\/p>\n

New brand image and revised hall layout<\/h2>\n

FachPack has given itself a new look in its regular break year, during which Interpack was organised in D\u00fcsseldorf. The new slogan \u201eTomorrow is made by making\u201c emphasises the innovative strength of the packaging industry. The thematic organisation of the halls has also been revised. In the Hall plan<\/strong> the \u201ePackaging\u201c and \u201eTechnology\u201c areas are now more clearly organised. In the twelve occupied exhibition halls themselves, thematic focal points are formed.<\/p>\n

The FachPack website is also more clearly organised. This is clear from the new \u201eNews\u201c menu item. Here, interested parties will find industry news, FachPack press information, an overview of the trade fair news in the social media and many trade fair photos.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The FachPack 2018 trade fair will focus on Industry 4.0 and intelligent packaging.
