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.
