Applied Market Information conference on BOPP film took place from June 16th to 18th in Beijing / China. DMT supported the conference as platinum sponsor. At the last two conferences in 2006 and 2007 DMT already demonstrated its profound knowledge on the film market with presentations on the history and future of the film and application industry.
At this year's AMI the highly welcomed DMT speech covered three main topics: - The first 5 years of DMT Technology GmbH - DMT Success Story and Innovations - DMT introduces a new class of market analysis (EMERGY) - DMT introduces the PPRO as a highly important figure in film production
Since the foundation of DMT Technology GmbH and the re-structuring of the DMT Group, DMT as only machine supplier in the business could significantly increase its market share. A basis for DMT's success is - among many other things - outstanding market know-how and based on this know-how, the power to supply innovative technology and information to the industry.
Some highlights of DMT's speech:
Innovation: Driven Inlet Sprocket DMT presented the TD driven inlet sprocket 2 years ago, now the first lines which are equipped with this patent started up in China. The results are excellent and can be measured by a significantly decreased oil and energy consumption, the reduced chain load guarantees highest uptime. The driven inlet sprocket is a full success.
Innovation: DMT Bowing Meter The bowing effect is an unwanted behavior which can be eliminated by correct TD settings. The problem up to now was that there was no system for online measuring available. The new developed DMT bowing meter enables fast and easy-to-use online measurement. By DMT's flexible line technology bowing can be minimized or completely eliminated. DMT will use the aberration of film as a new quality parameter for its lines.
Innovation: MESIM The first commercial MESIM project is under construction and will start-up in 2009. New film types can be tested at the MESIM pilot line.
DMT is a multiple awarded company: - Innovation award for MESIM by Austrian Chamber of Commerce 2008 - DMT SAS named best exporter 2008 by French Chamber of Commerce 2008 - Export award for DMT Technology GmbH by Austrian Chamber of Commerce 2009
The first real future oriented market analysis on plastic film, DMT and EMERGY DMT and the strategy consultant EMERGY merged their knowledge to develop a new market analysis which comprises multiple factors as general market growth, population development, GDP, per capita consumption, industry development, urbanization and many other factors. With joint-knowledge both companies created a new class of market analysis which gives the fundamental input for strategic decisions in the film industry.
This analysis can be adapted to 10 regions, 90 countries and globally. DMT will use the analysis to support its customers. For further and more detailed information please see our AMI presentation and the EMERGY brochure, or contact EMERGY Austria directly (http://www.emergy.at)
Product Portfolio Related Output The film business underlies a permanent change, an increased number of film types combined with smaller order lots require a sophisticated production portfolio. The more change-over of machinery the higher the downtime, the lower the output capacity. That's why DMT introduced the Product Portfolio Related Output with the target to measure the real line capacity. The PPRO has a significant impact on the amount of sellable film and investment decisions. It has to be added and/or detach speed and output guaranties to ensure the profitability of stretching lines.
For the excellent reaction on DMT's speech, the constructive meetings which were held during the breaks and in the evenings as well as the friendly atmosphere DMT wants to thank all customers, partner and friends.
