Turn your tissue paper mill into Smart Factories with E80 Group’s solutions

Companies of all markets are embracing Industry 4.0, taking advantage of the power of AI, IoT, robotics, and automation. This leads to a transforming process towards smart factories able to manage the flow of products in a safer, tracked, and more efficient environment.

Based in Viano, in the province of Reggio Emilia (Italy), E80 Group specializes in the development of integrated and automated intralogistics solutions for manufacturers of high-volume consumer products and distribution centers, mainly in the food, beverage, and tissue sectors.

The company calls a “Smart Factory” a connected production plant – or distribution center – where innovative systems can organize and optimize the logistics and intralogistics of raw materials and final products.

But which systems can transform a tissue company into a Smart Factory? How do these systems work? What are the benefits and advantages for my company? E80 has all the answers:

SMART FACTORY: SOLUTIONS AND TECHNOLOGIES

An intelligent factory requires robots and machines to automate processes: robotic labelers, pallet control systems, laser-guided vehicles, automated warehouses with AGVs/LGVs, and high-bay warehouses with shuttles or cranes.

But as a crucial thing, a Smart Factory has a brain – and this brain, harmoniously coordinating logistic flows and systems, is the greatest revolution introduced by Factory 4.0.

 

THE BRAIN OF THE SMART FACTORY: THE SOFTWARE

The unique software platform developed by E80 Group allows companies to oversee all logistic operations, guaranteeing full product traceability and total interconnection of different systems.

This cutting-edge program runs the productive process flawlessly: reception of raw materials, warehousing, and shipping of final products. The software is adapted to meet the needs of any company by implementing different configurations.

WHAT ARE THE ADVANTAGES OF SMART FACTORIES?

Turning a production facility or a distribution center into a Smart Factory allows tissue manufacturers and distributors to minimize risks and reduce the margin of error to zero. Moreover, it makes it possible to adapt quickly and smoothly to customers’ changing needs, improving productive efficiency sharply.

The software integrates manual and automatic operations thanks to the coordination between intralogistics flows and hardware systems. It communicates with the factory’s management software (ERP) to control the real-time situation of the plant.

Besides, the software is compatible with productive lines and all automated systems implemented by E80 Group: robotic labelers, pallet machines, high-speed robotic stretch wrappers, automated labelers, Laser Guided Vehicle, among others.

With the combination of all these systems, companies have critical guarantees: the product is traceable, and the supply chain is efficient and safe throughout.
