SKZ Plastics Center invites to the Plastics Quality Summit 2023
The SKZ Plastics Quality Summit is an industry meeting for quality experts and decision-makers from the plastics industry and will again take place on March 21, 2023 in Würzburg. Topics such as energy efficiency along the plastics production chain, material alternatives and alternative materials, the digital transformation and approaches to solving the shortage of skilled workers in the plastics industry will be addressed here.
Quality is subjective and is assessed differently by everyone. Companies must therefore understand their customers' requirements precisely and implement them in the best possible way. The plastics industry masters this challenge through process knowledge and constant innovation. However, when the general conditions change as abruptly and incalculably as they have in recent years, it is necessary to react quickly. Energy shortages and shortages of raw materials and skilled workers are just some of the factors that make it difficult for the industry to meet customers' needs and demands. Longer delivery times and higher prices with the same or poorer product quality are unacceptable. The Quality Summit addresses these issues and aims to actively support participants in finding food for thought and possible solutions to these challenges. Highly qualified lecturers and workshop leaders will be available for personal exchange and to provide impetus. Plenty of room for discussion with experts from the plastics industry rounds off the Quality Summit.
Participants will actively work together on specific issues in four parallel workshops. The results will also be discussed interactively with the other groups afterwards. The workshops will cover the following topics, among others: Energy efficiency along the plastics production chain (led by Nicole Neub, Bosch Energy and Building Solutions), Material alternatives and alternative materials - product quality when using PCR recyclates (led by Michael Bosse, SKZ), Successfully implementing the digital transformation (led by Dr.-Ing. Tobias Harland, Industrie 4.0 Maturity Center), and Approaches to solving the shortage of skilled workers in the plastics industry (led by Martina Hemrich, Beckhäuser Personal & Lösungen). "In addition, we have exciting user topics in the program, for example from the company Carl Zeiss GOM Metrology," says conference director Christoph Kreutz, who is also the head of the new training center for quality assurance at the SKZ.
