The Industrial Revolution with AI Applied to Plastics Manufacturing

Revolutionizing the plastics industry with Artificial Intelligence

The plastics industry in Argentina faces complex challenges, from reduced margins to price volatility. However, Artificial Intelligence (AI) is emerging as a key tool to overcome these obstacles and modernize the sector. With the aim of exploring these solutions, Technology Coast Partners (TCP) and PAC Software will present their innovations at the Argentine Chamber of the Plastics Industry (CAIP).

Breakfast with the Experts: The Future of Plastics Manufacturing

On Thursday, August 21, 2025, the CAIP will be the meeting point for an innovation event: Breakfast with the Experts. This meeting is designed for executives and leaders in the plastics manufacturing sector.

During the day, crucial topics for digital transformation will be addressed:

Cognitive ERP: The integration of AI Agents into systems such as Epicor Kinetic and SugarCRM with the TCP Fluent Platform to empower and automate production, from demand management to plant control.

• Intelligent automation: How manufacturing execution systems (MES) and ERP connect to optimize production.
• Total connection: Synchronizing demand with production, integrating digital marketing and sales with plant operations.
• Boundless data analysis: AI as a tool for analyzing ERP, MES, and CRM data in a unified way, providing a complete view of the business.

The event will not only be a showcase for world-class business solutions, but also a space for networking, where attendees can share their experiences, challenges, and expectations. Representatives from injection, extrusion, blow molding, molding, printing, and recycling companies will come together to find solutions to the operational and commercial challenges they face.

Challenges and Opportunities in the Plastics Industry

The plastics industry in Argentina faces a demanding reality, including:

• Limited visibility: Lack of control over performance and processes.
• Tight margins: The need to optimize each stage to be more profitable.
• Strict regulations: Complying with increasingly demanding regulations.
• Dependence on equipment efficiency: The need to maximize the use of each machine to be competitive.

To overcome these challenges, it is vital to automate workflows, ensure batch traceability, and accurately manage manufacturing routes. In addition, AI becomes strategic for:

• Predictive maintenance: Anticipate machinery failures before they occur.
• Production optimization: Adjust scheduling in real time to maximize efficiency.
• Quality control: Automate inspection to reduce errors.
• Strategic decision-making: Obtain insights on costs, prices, purchasing, and commercial management with integrated real-time data.

The modernization of the sector is an inevitable path. While progress is uneven, the key lies in the strategic adoption of advanced technologies and AI, and the support of policies that encourage investment and training.

Breakfast with the Experts will be a unique opportunity to learn about success stories within the industry and discover how AI can drive growth and competitiveness for companies in the plastic sector in a global market.
