R-Cycle system ensures packaging traceability
along the entire value chain
As part of the pilot project, the recycling-relevant data was
recorded on machines of the participating customers and
partners and stored on the R-Cycle server in accordance
with the global GS1 standard. This transmission process
makes the data immediately available along the entire
value chain.
The most important know-how of Kautex Maschinenbau
within the pilot project is the development of a data
acquisition system R-Connector as an interface between
the extrusion blow moulding production and the cloudbased
R-Cycle platform. The necessary data along the
entire value chain can therefore be transmitted to the
common R-Cycle database and is immediately accessible
to the entire value chain.
By using the R-Connector in machine control systems
from Kautex Maschinenbau, production data is collected,
analysed, and uploaded directly to the R-Cycle server,
which significantly increases production efficiency
and transparency. As a result, waste sorting systems
supported by standard detection technologies can more
efficiently identify recyclable packaging by type. This open
and globally applicable traceability standard is the key to
obtaining high-quality recyclates for true recycling in the
future. MT
