HORST for the plastics industry

Challenges and optimization potential in plastics processing

High energy costs and material consumption require continuous process optimization for cost-efficient plastics processing. Inconsistent production processes such as injection molding, extrusion and blow molding lead to quality problems that make it difficult to achieve consistent product quality. Long cycle times and low productivity are a burden on efficiency, while a lack of flexibility with small batch sizes limits competitiveness. The integration of robotic solutions into existing production systems is often difficult and cost-intensive. These factors require innovative automation technology and flexible industrial robots in order to remain successful in the industry and achieve sustainability goals.
