“The reason we chose DP was because it’s an industry solution which solves many of the problems we had in the standard Microsoft Dynamics setup. Also, there was demand from the management to have final costing, which was also a major challenge in the standard Dynamics solution.
DynamicsPrint® also helps us greatly with scheduling and shop floor management. The data gathered gives us great insights, and results in a much more cost-efficient production.”

The printing industry is facing a growing challenge: knowledge loss in the printing industry is accelerating as experienced professionals retire.
There is a growing push to make AI part of every organization’s DNA.
The idea is simple: the companies that win will be the ones where AI is not a tool, but an instinct.
That urgency is justified. But in the printing and packaging industry, it overlooks a more immediate issue. We are not just facing an AI adoption gap. We are facing a knowledge loss crisis.
The Knowledge Problem No One Talks About
Across print operations, suppliers, and OEMs, critical expertise lives in people, not systems.
It lives in:
This knowledge is rarely documented. Not because it was ignored, but because it is difficult to formalize. It is based on experience, pattern recognition, and judgment built over time. And right now, much of it is approaching retirement.
Why This Matters More Than AI Adoption
Losing experienced employees has always been a challenge. What is different now is the scale. A large portion of the industry’s most experienced professionals are exiting within a relatively short timeframe. When they leave, they take with them:
Rebuilding that knowledge takes time. Often years. And it rarely reaches the same level.
A Shift in Perspective
The current AI conversation focuses on getting people to use AI more effectively. That is important.
But in this industry, there is another question that matters just as much: What happens to the knowledge those people carry when they are gone?
If that knowledge is not captured, structured, and made accessible, it disappears. And with it, a significant part of the organization’s competitive advantage.
The Real Opportunity
AI has the potential to change how organizations operate. But its most immediate value may not be in automation. It may be in preservation.
Preserving:
Because once that knowledge is lost, it cannot simply be replaced.
The Bottom Line
The conversation around AI is necessary. But for the printing and packaging industry, it is incomplete. The challenge is not only to adopt AI. It is to ensure that the knowledge built over decades does not disappear in the process. Because the organizations that succeed will not just be the ones that use AI well.
