RFID can offer over 80% in worktime savings
RFID offers a cost-efficient way to track pulp, paper rolls, and cores—ensuring full visibility throughout production, warehousing, and consumption. It enables reliable traceability from raw material to finished product, helping optimize both quality and flow.
The power of RFID for Pulp & Paper companies
Customers using Turck Vilant Systems RFID applications in pulp and paper benefit from full traceability, improved production efficiency, and better inventory visibility—helping reduce errors and increase control across the entire supply chain.
Modern track & trace solutions REDUCE WASTE in the form of
MATERIALS: Optimized inventory management ensures cost-effective JIT / JOT deliveries and minimizes component overstocking
EXTRA MILEAGE: Reducing shipment errors helps avoid unnecessary back-and-forth deliveries.
TIME: Adding RFID on pulp bale or paper core level helps to identify the exact individual on production line and make real-time decisions
EXCESS in PRODUCTION: Using RFID to track material input in the beginning of the production line and comparing used materials to final product quality helps guide suppliers and select only best materials to minimize scrap.
Pulp Bale Tagging
As pulp is difficult to trace with barcodes, specialised RFID tags have been developed to utilize the RFID benefit of remote identification. A pulp bale equipped with a specialized RFID tag can easily be located at production sites as well as during transport.
Paper Roll Tracking
Paper cores and paper reels that are equipped with RFID tags can easily be tracked during and after production. This ensures material availability at all times.
Warehouse Inventory
RFID-equipped forklifts automatically track both pulp bales and paper rolls as they move through the warehouse—ensuring accurate inventory and full shipment visibility without manual scans.
Vendor Managed Inventory
Material and spare part availability is key to keep production running. RFID enables different vendors to easily stock their products and spare parts at a customer location, yet having a full visibility to the stock, which is still owned by the vendor. Automatic replenishment processes is issued when stock levels are low
Tracking of returning carriers / RTIs
Different vendors ship materials and spare parts on trays, pallets, cages and other types of returning carriers, in short RTIs. Shared RTI pools help streamline logistics by providing all actors a standardized option for transporting their goods. However, the managing of RTIs, often shared by hundreds of vendors can be cumbersome. RFID and RTLS tracking solutions help automate pool management and reduce RTI loss.
