A Big Leap in ERP Systems: An Integrative, Modular Approach for Paper and Board, Paper360º September/October 2024 

 


The digitalization of manufacturing processes is becoming increasingly relevant. Whether due to just-in-time processes, labor shortages, or sustainability, the arguments for efficient shopfloor management in paper and board mills are piling up. A 2019 study by McKinsey on “Pulp, paper, and packaging in the next decade” notes: “The industry is well placed to join the digital revolution, as paper and pulp producers typically start from a strong position when it comes to collected or collectable data.”

A key building block toward digitalizing production systems that take advantage of data is a manufacturing execution system (MES) that provides information about the status of production orders. The MES is the data hub linking platform data from the shop floor with data from the enterprise resource planning (ERP) system, ideally fully integrated into the other components of the company’s IT.

TAPPI conference proceedings and presentations, technical papers, and publication articles provide technical and management data and solutions on topics covering the Pulp, Paper, Tissue, Corrugated Packaging, Flexible Packaging, Nanotechnology and Converting Industries.
