Digitalization

The good news for small and medium-sized enterprises, which traditionally prefer to think and act in an analogue way, is that by entering into the digital world, they can’t go wrong. The next good news is that, as a dvi member, you have everything you need today to drive digital transformation at your company and identify and exploit the multiple opportunities and benefits.

The German Packaging Institute opens the door into the digital world for you: we offer you a whole host of ways to learn more about what digitalization means in practice, gain further professional qualifications, engage in a dialogue with knowledgeable people and contribute constructive ideas.

For example, through packaging briefings.

Our packaging briefings provide you with up-to-the-minute information, content and impetus related to digitalization and sustainability. Profit from relevant press reports, exclusive overviews and explanations, market news or the outcomes of cooperation with strategic partners as well as trade fair & events calendars.

As a dvi member, we give you space to focus on the essentials: our experts filter out all relevant information for you in advance, show you at a glance what’s most important and assist you with your daily work. The digital issues covered range from Industry 4.0, smart packaging, e-commerce, track & trace, blockchains, 3D printing, data security and data analysis to digital business processes, networked devices, the Internet of Things, artificial intelligence, mass customization, robots & cobots and digital decentralization. We keep an eye on the big picture – and a close watch on global trends in all industries.

For example, through cooperation.

Our cooperation with Bitkom, the voice of the information technology, telecommunications and new media industry in Germany, opens up a wealth opportunities for you as a member: amongst other things, in the framework of the cooperation dvi members can develop their skills and broaden their expertise in the area of digital transformation. That way, they are better equipped to overcome the challenges of digitalization and secure key advantages for their respective companies. Another benefit of our cooperation is that dvi members can participate in all live online seminars hosted by the Bitkom Academy.

For example, through industrial automation.

Industrial automation is an exciting field in the increasingly digital – and increasingly smart – world of packaging technology. As a dvi member, you are able to move freely within the Expert Forums. All doors are open to you there: you can gather information, get involved, strengthen and cultivate networks, engage in discussions and contribute ideas.

You may be interested to know that we host an Innovation Forum Automation for members twice a year. The aim is to facilitate an open exchange of ideas between different stakeholders in the automation process currently taking place in the packaging industry. Attendees gain valuable insights into what the market is looking for as well as what is technically achievable today. You profit from stronger market orientation plus more effective cooperation with all parties with a stake in the process.

The discussions seek to explain, classify and assess needs within the various industries as well as regional priorities, corporate structures and new trends in the packaging sector.

You too can discover the digital world – and profit from the benefits and opportunities that digital transformation can bring for your company as your business grows a little bit smarter every day.
