    At Syntegon in Crailsheim, 20 young people recently immersed themselves for two days in the activities of a packaging-machine manufacturer, working on specific technical challenges. On November 21 and 22, as part of the Packaging Valley Makeathon, students, specialists, and technology enthusiasts met at companies in the Heilbronn-Franken and Stuttgart regions (both Germany) to work on finding solutions for digitization and sustainability in packaging-machine manufacturing.

    At Syntegon in Crailsheim, 20 young people recently immersed themselves for two days in the activities of a packaging-machine manufacturer, working on specific technical challenges. On November 21 and 22, as part of the Packaging Valley Makeathon, students, specialists, and technology enthusiasts met at companies in the Heilbronn-Franken and Stuttgart regions (both Germany) to work on finding solutions for digitization and sustainability in packaging-machine manufacturing.

    The decentralized event took place for the fourth time this year under the patronage of Packaging Valley Germany e.V. with the support of ITQ GmbH and in cooperation with the Stuttgart Region Economic Development Corporation and Rems-Murr district.

    Makeathon

    At Syntegon, everything revolved around the topic of “Filling machines for personalized medicine 2030: transport, processes, sensors, and data.” Among the participants at Syntegon were students and pupils from Aalen University, Christian-Schmidt-Schule Neckarsulm, and the Programming School 42 Heilbronn. Familiar faces were also present, such as Felix Gatti, Master's student at Syntegon, who is taking part in the Packaging Valley Makeathon for the third time in a row: “For me as a student, the event offers the opportunity to get out of abstract learning and into practice and direct application. Developing an idea and implementing it within a short space of time is simply fascinating.”

    Makeathon

    In small groups, the participants developed solutions for practical, technical challenges, at times under the guidance of experts from Syntegon’s development department. The participants from all the Packaging Valley Makeathon locations were networked with each other via digital platforms. It was also via these platforms that the groups presented their ideas and developments at the end.

    Dr. Johannes Rauschnabel, Head of Advanced Technology Development at Syntegon and organizer of the event at Syntegon, concluded very happily: “The atmosphere was infectious and creative, and the participants came up with original solutions using simple ‘onboard resources.’ These solutions feature a playful seriousness that often already carries the DNA for industrialization.”
