Hi-Tech Inks at Elite Mumbai
At this year’s ElitePlus, which will be held in Mumbai from 30 September to 1 October, Hi-Tech Inks, a market leader in liquid inks, is a Gold Sponsor. The company says its focus at the show will be to continue learning from success stories shared by industry leaders and identify the best practices.
“We would like to stay informed about regulatory changes or industry standards that may impact our work. We hope to gauge the current market dynamics, consumer behavior, industry challenges, and competitive landscape further. We look forward to opportunities to collaborate with other companies, researchers, or industry groups and strengthen relationships with suppliers even look for cross-industry collaborations,” Vipin Chaudhry, director, Hi-Tech Inks told Packaging South Asia.
The company feels the transition from MLPs to monolayer or mono polymer-based packaging structures is a significant trend in the packaging industry, driven by the need for more sustainable and recyclable materials.
As far as inks are concerned, the company says it has been actively promoting ink systems that are suitable for multiple substrates and high-barrier coatings. This reduces the need for different ink systems for different substrates and at the same time is close to the desired barrier properties.
Talking about technology in an era of artificial intelligence, Chaudhry feels AI can be used to monitor and analyze processes in real time and identify defects or inconsistencies. Machine learning algorithms can learn from historical data to predict and prevent potential issues.
Hi-Tech Inks is in the early stages of developing database algorithms to manage and understand data, ensuring quick retrieval, storage, and management across various databases, which will help in routine jobs such as job planning, query optimization, logistical planning, etc.
Coming back to ElitePlus, the company expects to hear from leading experts, researchers, and professionals in the field who can provide cutting-edge insights and share the latest developments in packaging.
“We anticipate discussions on current trends, challenges, and advancements relevant to the topic. Most importantly, we look for actionable insights, new methodologies, and practical solutions that can be applied in our current work or research. We cherish the opportunities to connect with like-minded professionals, exchange ideas, and establish professional relationships needed for community building,” Chaudhry said.
