Sonoco Alcore delivers paper cores to manufacturers operating continuous, day-and-night production processes. The fluctuating consumption of different core types, however, created a critical challenge. End customers had to manually monitor core warehouse levels and trigger replenishment orders. This manual process, often handled by office staff unavailable during night shifts and weekends, was prone to neglect. Such oversight could lead to severe consequences: either expensive overstocking for safety, or, in the worst case, running out of cores, causing high line stoppage costs at the paper manufacturing facility.
The RFID implementation provided Sonoco Alcore’s customers with a fully automated, reliable VMI solution. This eliminates manual monitoring and replenishment tasks, ensuring cores are always in stock. Production lines remain continuously supplied, eradicating costly stoppages and allowing manufacturers to avoid overstocking.
Sonoco implemented an RFID-based Vendor Managed Inventory (VMI) solution with Turck Vilant Systems. This enables Sonoco to offer paper core VMI as an automated service to its end customers.
