At the core of our vision:
BOBST Connect

The progress towards our vision offers a steady transformation for the packaging industry.

At the heart of this transformation is BOBST Connect, our constantly evolving, cloud-based digital platform that enhances and improves packaging productivity.

 

BOBST Connect brings data and digital services together in one fully connected platform, with BOBST machine insights and expertise built-in, enabling overview and orchestration of the production process. Along with its connectivity, BOBST Connect provides optimization.

The four pillars of our 
industry vision are the 
cornerstone of the industry 
transformation.

BOBST is changing the way packaging is produced: data and digital services all together in a fully connected platform, enabling complete oversight and orchestration of the production.

Connectivity

BOBST is driving connectivity: in a fully connected packaging production, all machines, tooling and systems will “talk” to each other. Stakeholders can access and share data, through a cloud-based platform.

Sustainability

Through its sustainability strategy under three work streams – operations, equipment, and packaging use & end-of-life – BOBST is committed to make progress with relevant business indicators and build important partnerships.

 

Digitalization & automation

Through digitalization and automation, BOBST is changing the way packaging is produced. End-to-end digitalized solutions are being developed offering a seamless quality of production to converters, enabling more productivity, reducing waste and an ever-increasing quality.

Value creation from brand
owner to consumer

Converters of every size are under increasing pressure to deliver the ideal packaging and labels with smaller lead times, shorter runs, mass customization, while ensuring zero-fault production and supporting new business models (such as e-commerce).

BOBST understands that these new challenges are an opportunity to not only offer quicker and more reliable equipment, but to integrate the equipment into the workflow to leverage the value of data fully.

 

Translating the industry vision
into reality

BOBST Application management is the driver of making the BOBST industry vision a reality – contributing to the positioning of BOBST as innovation industry leader. The innovative consulting service has been designed for the needs of converters and brand owners, providing guidance on technologies, raw materials, processes and business cases along the entire packaging value chain.

 

Benefits of the
BOBST industry vision

Converters and brand owners benefit from professional insights on market opportunities, on state-of-the-art solutions, and on next levels of technology development.
Our specialized end-to-end know-how regarding each step of packaging production adds value to the machines, services and other devices offered by BOBST.

From an innovation perspective, the systematic expertise of Application management ensures that BOBST will have the right solution at the right time, for different industries.

Quality

BOBST’s digital ecosystem for quality and performance assurance generates detailed reports, providing traceability to customers and delivering what has been promised!

 

From setup through production to the final product, our system guarantees 100% consistency and exceptional quality.

 

Quality control offers a competitive advantage, ensuring critical informed decisions can be made in real time during production. As a result, our customers can produce zero-fault packaging, while quality reports and all production data are transmitted to BOBST Connect to create the digital twin, effectively closing the loop.

 

Digital inspection tools provide reassurance at every stage, enhancing efficiency, consistency and decision-making capabilities. It allows faults to be identified and rectified sooner, saving costs and minimizing waste.

Efficiency

Through the power of innovation and precision of our methods, we have forged a complete range of solutions to reduce energy consumption. An arsenal of tools designed to optimize energy footprint and boost the efficiency of the entire production chain can support our customers.

 

Our services help to improve set-up time and efficiency, with automated processes and smarter Human Machine Interfaces (HMI). More and more pressure is put on our customers with smaller lot sizes and shorter delivery times, so they need machines and workflows that are highly efficient but also easy to operate.

 

We provide production insights, including the interaction between different Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) components, to help you identify and eliminate performance gaps.

Control

Our customers can unlock the full potential of their data with our comprehensive suite of services, offering seamless information flow, open architecture, and standardization for maintaining data integrity and enabling just-in-time sharing, even with suppliers.

 

With our digital platform, BOBST Connect, they can dive into a world of collaborative intelligence, designed for information sharing, offering market intelligence and benchmarking tools for all stakeholders. This is where collaboration meets efficiency.

 

Informed decisions based on our predictive analytics and maintenance tools facilitate fast decision-making with reliable data powered by machine learning. R&D can be accelerated with data-informed design, streamlining development and driving innovation at every stage.

 

Throughout, data privacy and security remain our top priorities, ensuring protection against unauthorized access.
