Eschbach AI Team Garners Connected Plant 2023 Game Changer Award

Eschbach AI Team Garners Connected Plant 2023 Game Changer Award

Global software developer eschbach, provider of the Shiftconnector enterprise software platform for process manufacturing, announces that its AI development team was awarded a 2023 Game Changer Award for its new Shiftconnector Smart Search functionality. The eschbach team was recognized last evening in New Orleans at the Connected Plant Conference.

According to Connected Plant officials, the Game Changer awards highlight organizations which have contributed to innovation, solved problems, or have made extraordinary contributions to the industry using digitalization solutions.

“Truly a team effort, this project demonstrates the value of bringing customers into the design process from the onset to help drive and ensure satisfactory outcomes,” said eschbach CEO and Founder Andreas Eschbach. “With close to 20 years in creating solutions for the process industry and more than 65,000 users, we understand the process industry pain points and welcome input from our users to provide solutions that will help them win in an increasingly competitive environment,” he added.

Designed for process manufacturers, the development of the Shiftconnector Smart Search feature began five years ago, using AI-based natural language processing. Its tailored lexicon was created based on the terminology used every day by plant operators in the process industry. The new Smart Search feature has shown significantly improved plant performance by quickly finding solutions based on documented legacy knowledge from plant operations teams.

“Capturing and managing knowledge is domain specific, which is why our Smart Search is specifically designed with our customers in mind,” said Eschbach.

The eschbach AI team, led by Dr. Christian Matt, worked closely with one of its major customers to conceptualize and design a search function that could easily find relevant answers based on its plant operations. The team also collaborated with Prof. Dr. Bela Gipp of Göttingen University (Germany) and his team of leading researchers in natural language processing who are supported by the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action (BMWK) based on a decision by the German Bundestag.

“The challenge for our customers was not only to gain more insight into the information collected on the plant floor but also to preserve that knowledge to recover from disruptions faster and to support workforce changes,” said Veit Hora, eschbach Chief Operations Officer. “As we move forward into Industry 5.0 where the human element is in the forefront of its relationship to machine operations, using AI is a leap forward in gaining the information necessary to drive process efficiency, mitigate risk, and ensure regulatory compliance.”

Avery Dennison Introduces Four New Premium Labeling Papers Made From Recycled Content and Alternative Fibers

Avery Dennison Introduces Four New Premium Labeling Papers Made From Recycled Content and Alternative Fibers

Avery Dennison, has today introduced four labeling papers made from recycled pulp and alternative fibers aimed at the premium packaging segment including wine and spirits, craft beverages, gourmet food, beauty and fragrances.

Available in the Europe, Middle East and North Africa (EMENA) region, the launch comes at a time when industrial regulations, company environmental policies, and consumer demand contribute to the growing need for sustainable labeling and packaging solutions. The new range consists of three new papers made from 100% recycled fibers and one from hemp fibers as follows:

  • Fasson rPaper Black FSC 100% recycled (50% PCW and 50% PIW) is a black, core tinted, uncoated paper designed to provide a visually striking label for various applications. Its black color ensures a seamless and premium look, avoiding white edges or revealing whiteness from the back of wine bottles. This paper eliminates bleeding problems in ice buckets and offers excellent printability and embellishment compatibility.
  • Fasson rMartelé Black FSC 100% recycled (50% PCW and 50% PIW) is an uncoated, matte paper with a distinctive “hammered” tactile embossed finish. It matches the current portfolio’s non-recycled Martelé Black, allowing for seamless integration into existing labeling solutions. Similar to the rPaper Black, this paper also eliminates the problem of black ink bleeding in ice buckets and, being pulp-colored, ensures a sophisticated and clean appearance by avoiding the unpleasant issue of the label’s white edge and backside.

  • Fasson rMartelé Blanc FSC 100% recycled (50% PCW and 50% PIW) is also an uncoated, matte paper with the same “hammered” tactile embossed finish as rMartelé Black. This specific product will be available later this year and it matches the non-recycled Martele Blanc in the current portfolio, allowing for effortless integration for existing lines of wine and other high-end products. Additionally, it offers excellent printability with all the standard print methods and embellishing techniques.

New premium labeling possibilities offered by hemp fibers

Fasson Hemp 50% FSC paper provides a natural and bulky touch and feel with its white uncoated, matte surface — perfect for premium organic products. It offers a sustainable alternative to traditional wood pulp-only based papers and utilizes 50% hemp fibers that are sourced regionally from France and Germany and can be harvested up to 7 times annually. Its high-grammage facestock also makes it ideal for labels that feature embossed or debossed details.

“By incorporating these sustainable options, our Sustainable ADvantage portfolio helps brands reduce their environmental footprint and move towards a more sustainable and circular economy,” says Vladimir Tyulpin, marketing manager premium solutions at Avery Dennison. These solutions are particularly beneficial for industries such as wine, spirits, craft beverages, gourmet food, beauty, and fragrances, where brand differentiation and sustainability are paramount.”

With a wide selection of recycled facestock, rPLUS (an established and proven technology designed to solve ice bucket challenges for white and sparkling wines), and rPET liner construction, along with AD Circular liner recycling program and the use of the Carbon Trust Footprinting reporting tool, Avery Dennison empowers businesses to make informed decisions and accurately measure the impact of products.

BENEO Invests Six Million Euro in Starch Drying Capacity

BENEO creates new jobs at the Wijgmaal factory

BENEO, a leading manufacturer of functional ingredients for food, feed and pharma, is investing six million Euro in new drying capacity at its Wijgmaal factory to keep pace with growing demand for its specialty rice starch ingredients. The installation of a new drum dryer, housed within a newly constructed 1,000m2 facility, will deliver a 50% expansion in capacity for producing clean label pre-cooked rice starches with special properties/added benefits. The investment will also create six new full-time jobs at the factory, which already employs 200 people and has a proud tradition of 160 years in the Wijgmaal area.

ENEO invests six million Euro in starch drying capacity.

“These are exciting times for our Wijgmaal plant and for the local economy. This latest investment will not only secure the future growth of our pre-cooked rice starch portfolio but will create new employment opportunities. As the new drum dryer is currently in the phase of commissioning the line and scheduled to be up and running in the coming months, we are already looking to recruit people from the surrounding area for these new positions,” says Roland Vanhoegaerden, Operations Managing Director, Specialty Rice Ingredients, at BENEO.

Over the past five years, BENEO has seen an increasing demand for its pre-cooked starch ingredients owing to the added functionality they deliver to food products. BENEO’s drum drying treatment enables the production of rice starches for BENEO’s customers with stringent safety requirements, including baby food manufacturers. The dryer itself has been built to an ultra-hygienic design specification, and the production area is zoned and air conditioned using microbiological-level filters. Working together with the dryer manufacturer, BENEO has created a state-of-the-art, high care production space that combines the latest energy efficient drying technology with best-in-class hygienic design.

Next to this, BENEO’s pre-cooked rice starches can be used by the food manufacturers to make pudding more creamy, to improve the dough consistency of a pizza crust or the viscosity of soups, in a more convenient way.

Whilst the production of starches with special properties often involves the use of chemicals, the advanced drum drying technique deployed by BENEO is an entirely physical process. Not only does this yield pure, label-friendly ingredients, it also results in cleaner waste water that has a lower load on local treatment facilities and the environment.

Roland Vanhoegaerden, Operations Managing Director, Specialty Rice Ingredients, at BENEO.

The design of the extension has also been further enhanced to minimise the risk of noise nuisance to neighbours. “We do our best to communicate well with our neighbours and the wider community about any changes here at our site in Wijgmaal – we encourage people to contact us directly with any questions or observations and we know, from past experience, that this approach is appreciated,” says Vanhoegaerden.

BENEO is deeply committed to continuous investment in the site. The company recently invested 50 million Euro in expanding production capacity of regular rice starches, and in 2021, it spent half a million Euro on upgrading its barge freight capabilities to reduce the number of truck movements to and from the plant. “Our intention is to invest in the site in ways that will secure its future and benefit local communities,” says Vanhoegaerden.

Clariant’s New Amomax-Casale Ammonia Synthesis Catalyst: Excellent Results in First Three Commercial References

  • The new AmoMax-Casale catalyst has been successfully installed in three ammonia synthesis plants to date: Nutrien, Mosaic and Yara Sluiskil
  • All three sites confirm superior catalyst performance, reduced production costs and lower CO2 emissions
  • Jointly developed by Clariant and Casale, AmoMax-Casale offers up to 30% higher activity

Clariant’s efforts to foster the energy transition show next great results. The new AmoMax-Casale ammonia synthesis catalyst has proven itself in all of its first three industrial references. Jointly developed by Clariant and Casale, the catalyst features exceptional activity, stability, and energy efficiency. These benefits have been confirmed at the ammonia production facilities of Nutrien in Trinidad and Tobago, Mosaic in the USA, and YARA Sluiskil in the Netherlands. Based on plant data, all sites report superior catalyst performance with significant reductions in energy and production costs. At the same time, lower carbon dioxide emissions have greatly improved the sustainability of the plants. With ammonia considered to play an important role in a future hydrogen eco-system, a high-performing, energy-efficient ammonia synthesis catalyst, like AmoMax-Casale, is crucial for accelerating the transition toward net zero.

Georg Anfang, Vice President Syngas and Fuels at Clariant Catalysts, stated, “The implementation of AmoMax-Casale in several units with different designs and process requirements not only confirms the excellence of our innovative catalyst, but also its flexibility. Currently, more than 70% of ammonia produced is used by fertilizer manufacturers, but as ammonia becomes increasingly important as an energy carrier and fuel, AmoMax-Casale can also play a decisive role in facilitating the energy transition.”

Ermanno Filippi, CTO at Casale, added, “Our advanced ammonia converter has already demonstrated its strong impact on plant productivity, energy consumption and emissions. By combining it with our jointly developed innovative AmoMax-Casale catalyst, we are now able to help our customers achieve even greater plant performance.”

AmoMax-Casale is the customized evolution of Clariant’s industry-proven AmoMax 10 catalyst series with more than 120 references worldwide. The new catalyst has been specifically optimized for Casale ammonia converters resulting in an up to 30% enhanced efficiency index.

The first industrial application of AmoMax-Casale was in 2021 at Nutrien’s ammonia production plant in Trinidad and Tobago. The facility now realizes energy savings of approximately US$ 500,000 per year, as well as an annual reduction in CO2 emissions of 4,700 MT. The second AmoMax-Casale customer was Mosaic in Louisiana. After the revamp, the plant is benefitting from a significantly lower operating pressure (12% lower), and a higher ammonia concentration at the outlet (9% higher), demonstrating the excellent performances of the catalyst and the new ammonia converter. The latest application of the catalyst was at Yara Sluiskil in their 1200 MTPD ammonia plant in the Netherlands. The catalyst was activated within just 2.5 days and is performing well.

The advantages of the AmoMax-Casale catalyst were also recognized by two awards: The Swiss Chemical Society’s Sandmeyer Award 2021 and the prestigious ICIS Innovation Award 2020 for “Best Sustainable Process”. Furthermore, Casale’s ammonia technology and the AmoMax-Casale catalyst have been selected for multiple green ammonia projects, underlining both companies strive to accelerate the energy transition.

Pioneering With Servo Systems for Global Injection Molding Tool Construction

Pioneering With Servo Systems for Global Injection Molding Tool Construction

Erbacher Servomold GmbH & Co. KG is celebrating 25 successful years as a specialist in the automation of injection molding tools. The roots of the company go back to May 1998, when Bianca and Thomas Meister founded Exacon Verwaltungs GmbH in their house in Hiltersklingen in the Odenwald and offered services related to the design and development of injection molding tools. Still under her management today, her company, with 28 employees, is one of the world’s most innovative and efficient developers, manufacturers and suppliers of servo systems for injection molding tool construction. Despite an eventful history, Servomold has remained true to the Odenwald location.

Change points the way to today’s success

The series of changes of location and name over the past quarter century is a reflection of the constant and consistent development from the spartanly equipped, but with a lot of know-how “cellar child” of the first days to today’s status. This was followed in 1999 by the development and patenting of the tunnel sprue inserts, the founding of Exaflow GmbH & Co. KG and the move to larger premises in Groß-Umstadt. With the change of name to i-mold GmbH & Co. KG and the next move to Brensbach, again due to the lack of space, the sale of hot runner systems also started in 2004. Five years later we continued to Michelstadt. There Thomas Meister founded Servomold GmbH & Co. KG in 2011, whose products were distributed by i-mold.

2016 was finally the starting point for the construction of today’s modern and spacious company building on the outskirts of Erbach. 620 m² of office space, including seven CAD workstations, and 300 m² of hall space today offer a friendly and light-flooded working environment for the employees in development, quality assurance, sales and administration. There is also production with our own machine tools to support external partners and to shorten delivery times.

In 2017, the two parts of the company merged into what was then i-mold GmbH & Co. Initially, Servomold was just the brand name of the product line. This changed fundamentally in 2022 after it became clear to Thomas Meister that the future lay and will continue to lie with servo automation. The consequence was the change of name to Servomold GmbH & Co. KG.

Modern and continuously growing

Today, Servomold is a medium-sized, continuously growing company and an internationally experienced partner to the plastics industry. The company name stands for a growing number of standardized and individual solutions for the servo-electric and therefore clean, space-saving implementation of rotary and linear movements. Applications range from single threads in engineering plastic parts to linear slide and core pull movements to multi-cavity cap tools. One of the consistently talented and excellently trained employees is Lucas Meister, project manager – and son of the entrepreneur couple who ensures continuity.

UFlex Limited and ExxonMobil Collaborate to Introduce Certified-Circular Packaging in The India Subcontinent

UFlex Limited and ExxonMobil Collaborate to Introduce Certified-Circular Packaging in The India Subcontinent

ExxonMobil has made its first commercial sale of certified-circular Exceed PE polymers in India to UFlex Limited, India’s largest multinational flexible packaging and solution company headquartered in Noida (National Capital Region), India with packaging film manufacturing plants in India, UAE, Mexico, Poland, Egypt, USA, Russia, Hungary, and Nigeria. The certified-circular Exceed polymers leverage ExxonMobil’s proprietary Exxtend technology for advanced recycling.

  • Product quality and performance of the certified-circular polymers are identical to virgin plastic.
  • Incorporating certified-circular resins into packaging solutions is one concrete way UFlex Limited helps to support a circular economy for plastics

This sale of certified-circular polymers in India is significant as it now allows the user to incorporate certified-circular content into food packaging. Mechanically recycled plastic materials have had limited use in food packaging applications. ExxonMobil’s Exxtend technology, on the other hand, helps widen the range of plastic materials that can be recycled, breaking down difficult-to-recycle plastic waste back into its original building blocks that can be attributed to new, certified-circular polymers. Product quality and performance of the certified-circular polymers are identical to virgin plastic, so customers can be confident when using them in existing applications, including contact-sensitive, food-grade packaging solutions.

UFlex Limited in collaboration with brand owners, will be among the first in India to use certified-circular performance PE polymers to produce films for high performance flexible packaging, including food-grade packaging applications.

Mr. Rahul Dubey, General Manager (R&D) UFlex Packaging Division, shed some light on the motivation behind their initiative: “We recognise the importance of supporting a circular economy for plastics and believe that it requires the collective effort of the value chain. We have engaged with our customers to help develop plastic packaging and helped them access certified-circular material. Incorporating certified-circular resins into our packaging solutions is one concrete way we can help support a circular economy for plastics and in turn, contribute to a better tomorrow. We are honoured and excited to be part of this incredible journey!”

“I’m extremely delighted and pleased to be part of certified-circular polymer development with our value chain partners,” said Nitin Thakur, Area Sales Manager, North and East India for ExxonMobil Polyethylene business. “This step can help society at-large to capture additional value for plastic waste across multiple applications.”

International Sustainability and Carbon Certification (ISCC) PLUS is a widely recognized global certification system to certify products that can be traced back to the advanced recycling of plastic waste via mass balance attribution. ExxonMobil has obtained ISCC PLUS certification for several of its facilities and has ambitions to build capacity to process 500,000 metric tons of plastic waste by year-end 2026 across multiple sites around the world.

“Commercializing certified-circular polymers in our region is an essential enabler to help customers and brand owners realize their plastic circularity ambitions,” said Chan Kwee Lin, Asia Pacific Advanced Recycling and Sustainability General Manager for ExxonMobil. “By offering advanced recycling solutions, ExxonMobil is making it possible for a far broader range of plastic products to be recycled. This puts us one step closer to a world where society can better capture the full value of plastics.”
