Stabilise conversion without slowing productivity
Packaging paper and board production relies on continuous processes where sheet formation, coating, converting and thermal conditions directly impact stiffness, printability and mechanical performance of final products.
Even minor deviations can lead to thickness variations, surface defects, material losses or instability in downstream conversion processes.
Indao transforms data from board machines, coating lines, drying sections, converting operations and utilities into reliable operational indicators and concrete recommendations.
Why packaging processes are different
Processes where material performance and downstream constraints must remain perfectly aligned.
High mechanical performance requirements
Multiple transformation steps
Strong dependence on raw material variability
The challenges you face
- Product quality stability: control thickness, stiffness and mechanical properties despite fibre variability
- Downstream conversion performance: reduce defects impacting printing, cutting or corrugation
- Line availability: reduce downtime caused by sheet instability or fouling
- Energy performance: optimise drying, vacuum systems and mechanical drives
- Material efficiency: reduce fibre losses and production waste
The limits of your current tools
- Data often siloed between paper/board production and downstream conversion
- Difficulty correlating pulp characteristics with final packaging performance
- Quality analyses often performed after production or conversion
- Fixed-threshold alarms not suited to continuous process dynamics
- Limited tools to anticipate deviations affecting stiffness or printability
