Interplast – the Plastics Technology Integration Fair and Congress, promoted by Messe Brasil, which will be held from August 25 to 28, 2026, in Joinville, is consolidating itself as one of the main stages for the presentation of solutions in industrial management and automation focused on plastic transformation. In this edition, exhibiting companies highlight technologies that respond to the real challenges of the sector, such as process integration, increased production efficiency, data reliability, and strategic decision-making, reinforcing Interplast’s role as a showcase of innovation and competitiveness for the industry.
Lack of predictability in production, manual data entry subject to error, difficulty in calculating reliable OEE, and areas that do not communicate with each other: these are problems known to a large part of the plastics processing industries. Projedata brings to Interplast a portfolio of solutions developed specifically to face these challenges, integrating management, planning, and industrial automation into a single platform. The company has built an ecosystem consisting of four systems that connect natively: the Iniflex ERP (industrial and administrative management), Autoflex (MES for shop floor monitoring), Iniflex.APS (advanced production planning), and Iniflex.BI (data intelligence for managerial decision-making). Each of them operates at a specific layer of the operation, and the integration between them eliminates re-entry work, data inconsistency, and information delays.
Automata highlights its complete solution for production cells, developed to increase the performance, efficiency, and operational intelligence of the shop floor. The solution was designed to meet the real demands of plastic processors, combining automation, precision, and connectivity. The goal is to reduce setup times, optimize production cycles, and ensure high repeatability, allowing industries to reach new levels of competitiveness, predictability, and process control. The approach integrates hardware and software into a single system capable of synchronizing all stages of production. The proposal is to offer a ready-to-operate production unit, where each component of the production cell works in a coordinated manner, ensuring continuous flow, operational stability, and data-driven decision-making.
With a focus on Dynisco, a brand exclusively represented in Brazil, Digitrol brings to Interplast solutions for process control in the plastics industry. Dynisco products and solutions provide accurate and reliable information that allows for real-time validation of process parameters and, when necessary, immediate adjustments. This ensures that manufactured products meet or exceed established technical specifications, reducing risks, rework, and waste. Of particular note are Dynisco’s pressure and temperature sensors, developed for applications in polymer extrusion and injection molding. They stand out for their high precision, excellent repeatability, and robust construction, designed to operate under high temperatures and extreme pressures. Even in severe conditions, they maintain measurement stability and a long service life, ensuring continuous reliability in the production process.
EFFICIENT MANAGEMENT AND AUTOMATION
Octagon launches the SmartLip ONE TL FFS, a solution developed to meet the most demanding requirements of form-fill-seal applications, expanding the productive potential of blown film extruders and raising the quality standard of plastic film. Recognized worldwide for its leadership in innovation and technology for measuring and controlling plastic films, the company demonstrates how automation and advanced engineering can transform extrusion processes. The launch of the SmartLip ONE TL FFS reinforces Octagon’s commitment to developing solutions capable of combining high performance, process stability, and operational efficiency. The extrusion of plastic films for FFS applications requires rigorous control of variables such as thickness, blown film stability, film uniformity, and productivity. In this context, the SmartLip ONE TL FFS is a technological response to the needs of manufacturers seeking greater competitiveness, waste reduction, and increased efficiency in their production lines.
With over 25 years of experience in developing parts and equipment for flexographic printing machines, Laserflex reinforces its commitment to technological innovation for the packaging industry. Among the highlights presented at Interplast are the anilox sleeves and cylinders produced by the company, fundamental parts for controlling ink transfer in the printing process. These components are responsible for ensuring uniformity, precision, and high quality in the final results of printed packaging. Laserflex anilox rollers are engraved with Cobracell technology, a technology that stands out for the special shape of the cells engraved on the cylinder, allowing for more efficient and uniform ink transfer. With this optimized shape, the cells can transport and release the ideal amount of ink during printing, providing greater coverage, better image definition, and more consistent colors.
G4 Máquinas presents its innovations in flexographic printers, laminators, and rewinders, which can be seen in operation during the fair. The solutions are geared towards the production of flexible packaging used in automated packaging systems and high-performance applications, such as pet food packaging, which demand maximum protection against contamination and prolonged product preservation. The solutions presented by G4 Máquinas are designed to operate with efficiency, precision, and reliability, integrating advanced technology with a robust mechanical construction. The result is a set of equipment capable of delivering process repeatability, high productivity, and consistent quality.
