1. Introduction

During my 7th semester, I had the honour of working as a Data Scientist Intern at Karul
Laminators LLP from July [15th Jul 2024]. The company was among the pioneers in India
for flexi printing solutions & supplier for various companies in every region and soon
established itself as a leading name in flexi print solutions. The corporation is a key player in
the flexi print industry and works with eminent institutions in a range of industries, including
manufacturing, retail, and the public sector.

2. Overview of Karul Laminators LLP


Who they are:
The company is a major force in the flexi print market and collaborates with prestigious
organizations across a variety of sectors, such as retail, manufacturing, and government.
What we do
Within a short period of starting production, we have become the leading manufacturer
and supplier of a wide range of packaging material such as Flexible Printed Laminated
Rolls and Flexible Printed Packaging Pouches. We also manufacture (BOPP Pouch,
Polyester Flexible Packaging Pouches, 3 Layer Laminated Pouch, 3 Layer Aluminium
Pouches, Food Packaging, Centre Seal Pouches, Laminated Pouches, Agro Packaging,
Industrial Packaging and Pharma Packaging).

3. Data Science and the Scope of the Field


Data science involves extracting insights from data using statistical analysis, machine
learning, and data visualization. It helps in identifying patterns, making predictions, and
driving data-driven decisions. Data is gathered, cleaned, and processed using tools like
Python, SQL, and Excel. Machine learning models and algorithms are applied for
predictive analytics. Visualization tools like Power BI and Tableau present the insights
clearly for actionable outcomes.

The scope of Data Science includes:

 Demand forecasting: Predicting the demand for various types of packaging materials
based on historical data, seasonality, and market trends.
 Supply chain optimization: Optimizing inventory, raw materials, and logistics by
analysing data on suppliers, lead times, and production schedules.
 Quality control: Using image processing and machine learning models to detect
defects or inconsistencies in printed packaging.
 Process optimization: Analysing production data to improve efficiency, reduce waste,
and minimize downtime in the manufacturing process.

4. Technologies

 Excel: For basic data management, analysis, and visualization tasks. Excel is great for
handling smaller datasets and performing initial data exploration.

 Power BI: A powerful business intelligence tool used for creating interactive data
visualizations and dashboards. You can use it to visualize company performance metrics,
production data, and supply chain insights.

 Python:

 Pandas: For data manipulation and analysis, especially when working with large
datasets from production logs, sales, or inventory data.
 NumPy: For performing numerical calculations, useful when you need to do large-
scale mathematical operations on production or chemical data.
 Matplotlib/Seaborn: For data visualization and plotting trends in production, sales,
or quality data.

 Machine Learning Models:

 Scikit-learn: For implementing machine learning models like regression,


classification, and clustering. This can be applied for demand forecasting, quality
control, or predictive maintenance.
 TensorFlow/Keras: If deeper learning models are needed for more complex tasks
such as advanced image recognition (defect detection).

 SQL: To manage and query databases containing production, inventory, or sales data.
SQL can help pull relevant data to feed into analyses or machine learning models.

5. Overview of My Work
During my internship, I worked as an intern for the data science team. My primary
tasks were:

1. Demand Forecasting for Packaging Materials

 Task: Analyse historical sales data to predict future demand for various packaging
materials (e.g., BOPP Pouches, Laminated Rolls).
 Technologies Used: Python (Pandas, NumPy), Machine Learning Models (Scikit-
learn for regression), Power BI for visualizing forecasts.
 Outcome: Accurate demand predictions to optimize inventory and production
planning.

2. Production Process Optimization

 Task: Analyse production line data to identify inefficiencies and suggest


improvements for reducing downtime and waste.
 Technologies Used: Python (Pandas, NumPy), SQL for querying production data,
Power BI for building dashboards to track key performance metrics.
 Outcome: Insights into process improvements that increase production efficiency and
minimize costs.

3. Predictive Maintenance for Manufacturing Equipment

 Task: Develop a predictive maintenance model using historical sensor data from
manufacturing equipment to predict failures before they happen.
 Technologies Used: Python (Scikit-learn for predictive models, Pandas for data
analysis), Power BI for real-time monitoring dashboards.
 Outcome: Reduced machine downtime and optimized maintenance schedules,
leading to better productivity.
4. Chemical Usage Optimization

 Task: Analyse chemical usage patterns (e.g., ethyl and other chemicals) to optimize
the amounts used in the printing and packaging processes, reducing waste and
ensuring safety compliance.
 Technologies Used: Python (Pandas for data analysis, NumPy for calculations),
Excel for initial data tracking, Power BI for visualization of chemical usage trends
and cost savings.
 Outcome: Optimized chemical usage leading to cost savings, reduced environmental
impact, and compliance with safety regulations.

5. Conclusion
During my internship, I applied data science techniques to enhance various aspects of the
flexi printing industry, including demand forecasting, quality control, and process
optimization. By utilizing tools like Python, Power BI, and machine learning models, I
contributed to improving production efficiency, reducing waste, and optimizing chemical
usage. This experience deepened my practical understanding of data science applications in
manufacturing and strengthened my problem-solving and analytical skills.
