A Revolution of Speed: How AI is Rewiring Packaging Manufacturing Workflows

AICC, The Independent Packaging Association, will host a timely and forward-looking webinar, A Revolution of Speed: How AI Is Rewiring Packaging Manufacturing Workflows, presented by HiFlow Solutions. This session offers a comprehensive look at how artificial intelligence is reshaping operational performance in folding carton and corrugated plants, providing unprecedented gains in speed, accuracy, and efficiency across the production lifecycle.

As market pressures intensify and labor shortages persist, packaging manufacturers face rising demands for rapid decision-making and seamless workflow integration. This webinar will explore how AI-driven ERP systems and workflow automation are enabling companies to accelerate estimating, streamline procure-to-pay processes, optimize accounts payable, and enhance logistics performance. Attendees will see real-world use cases that demonstrate how AI delivers rapid return on investment and positions plants for scalable, long-term growth.

Participants will gain clarity on the practical steps needed to adopt AI within their operations, insights on selecting high-impact areas for initial deployment, and strategies for building a roadmap that ensures measurable improvements.

With HiFlow Solutions presenters Alfonso Hernandez, Vice President of Sales, Steve De Benedetto, Business Development Manager, and Romek Kowalczyk, Product Manager, attendees will learn to:

Identify the processes where AI creates the greatest speed and efficiency improvements.
Understand how intelligent workflows connect estimating, procure-to-pay, accounts payable, and logistics into a unified data-driven system.
Begin planning an AI adoption strategy that starts small, demonstrates value quickly, and scales successfully.

The program begins with an exploration of the growing need for speed and intelligence in today’s packaging operations. As market uncertainty and labor challenges intensify, plants are under pressure to move faster and operate with greater precision. The session will outline why AI-driven automation is no longer optional for companies that want to remain competitive, and how it enables teams to streamline decision-making and reduce manual workload.

Next, attendees will be guided through real-world examples that demonstrate where AI delivers the fastest and most measurable returns. These use cases will show AI accelerating core functions such as estimating, procure-to-pay, accounts payable, and logistics, offering a clear view of how intelligent systems reduce errors, eliminate redundant processes, and increase operational visibility.

The program concludes with a practical discussion on how companies can begin their AI journey. Participants will learn how to start with manageable pilot projects, validate results quickly, and build a scalable roadmap that supports sustainable long-term growth. This section provides a step-by-step look at adopting AI thoughtfully and effectively, empowering teams to move forward with confidence.
