More efficiency, less waste. This is one of the big messages here at BrauBeviale.
I began the day talking to Tobias Walden of Bosch Energy & Building Solutions, who are concentrating on making companies more efficient in terms of energy losses. They had a machine clocking up the euro losses resulting from a compressed air pipe with a hole in it. The results are sobering. Compressed air company Kaeser seconded this with its focus on preventative measures – it’s new management system can link up to 16 compressors and report back if one is overheating for instance – saving vital downtime as breakdowns can be predicted and dealt with.
Italian company Crocco specialises in shrink wrapping – cans in particular and prints the film for each company to their requirements – for example San Pellegrino with a 24-can pack for its highly successful orange and lemon drinks. Here again cost savings are top of the agenda with many companies looking for thinner film and yet still high-quality printing – luckily new technologies mean they can now meet this need.
I am off to present the World Beverage Innovation Awards now. It’s going to be a great night!
