The "Smart Plastic" event, organised by Campetella Robotic Center at its headquarters in Montecassiano (near Macerata, Italy) on September 19 and 20, were even more successful than expected: it consisted of two days dedicated to the most advanced handling technologies for injection moulding.

The event was attended by companies from over 10 countries and specialist of robotics, in-mould labelling, injection moulding machines, vision control, peripherals and polymers presented the most recent developments in their respective fields dedicated to this processing method.

"At a time of strong market evolution," runs a press release from the company, "speeding up innovation processes, this was an opportunity to appreciate the importance of collaboration between companies that goes beyond the usual and, now, obsolete customer-supplier relationship and to propose a form of “win-win” cooperation between the partners so as to take full advantage of everyone’s expertise in pursuing the ultimate goal”.
