Plastic Energy Reduces Training Times with Glartek’s CW Platform

Lisbon, Portugal – August 26, 2024 – Glartek, a leading provider of innovative Connected Worker solutions powered by AR for the manufacturing and asset-intensive industries, helped Plastic Energy, a global leader in plastic recycling, reduce training times, end paper use, and errors, and enhance safety, efficiency, and productivity in their daily operations. The Spanish trailblazer leveraged Glartek’s Connected Worker solution to introduce advanced digitalization, reinforcing Plastic Energy’s commitment to sustainability and innovation.

Plastic Energy, a powerhouse in the Spanish chemical recycling market, transforms end-of-life plastics into Tacoil, a recycled oil that replaces fossil in the production of plastics. With two commercial plants in Spain and over 12 years of operational expertise, this recycling leader is at the forefront of reducing fossil fuel dependence and cutting CO2 emissions. Their goal is to process over 5 million tons of plastic by 2030, significantly contributing to a circular economy.

Glartek’s digital solution has enabled Plastic Energy to centralize and streamline operational and maintenance procedures, conduct real-time inspections, and enhance worker training using Augmented Reality for a more interactive and intuitive experience. By introducing this solution, the recycling giant has reduced training times for junior talents and administrative efforts, ensured the safety of frontline workers, and eliminated non-connected methods.

Previously, Plastic Energy relied on paper-based procedures, which posed challenges in maintaining consistency and efficiency. These digitalization efforts enhance the Spanish pioneer’s training programs, allowing workers to visualize procedures and connect with colleagues in real time, significantly reducing the length of training and errors during executions. Moreover, centralized information and a skill matrix have enabled the creation of personalized training programs, leading to greater productivity. Furthermore, real-time guidance provided by digital tools improves worker autonomy and safety, while streamlining processes to ensure all data is securely stored and easily accessible.

Ultimately, Glartek and Plastic Energy have introduced a new reality for frontline workers, enabling faster executions, fewer errors, and increased autonomy. Managers can easily
assess workers’ skills and leverage Glartek’s solution to create AR-based training programs.

“We are very excited to be working with a leader in the Spanish market, such as Plastic Energy, and we will continue to support their journey with our solution. We are committed to working side by side with this industrial leader to help them succeed in their continuous improvement strategy and help them achieve better results”.

“We've been able to decrease training times, requirements, and errors. Also, now we have real-time guidance supported by digital tools increasing workers' autonomy leading to greater productivity and efficiency”.
