How is the tissue industry coping in today's volatile world? - Paper Technology International 2023
CEOs and the shop floor see things differently
An interesting finding is that in some important areas,
top management and line management have clear differences
of opinion. We already mentioned Sales & Operational Planning,
the goal of which differs significantly between CEOs and
Manufacturing and Operations respondents. Another such difference
is development priorities. Reflecting the development areas the
respondents chose earlier in the questionnaire, it seems that
the most important focus is on “people”, that is, organization,
processes, and know-how.
However, there is a significant difference in what CEOs
prioritize. Perhaps somewhat surprisingly, their number one priority
is MES, which is a key enabler of building a truly data-driven
company.

TIPS is Tietoevry’s ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning)

packaging and tissue. It allows the successful planning, selling,
execution and operation of production and warehousing. With
the resulting efficiencies and high-quality level, companies can
meet customer requirements in full and on time while maintaining

TIPS contains automation interfaces, as well as integration
to local and corporate-level data storage repositories. TIPS
automation integrates to automatic warehouses, AGVs, tissue roll
producing machines and converting lines. Large amounts of process
data including quality profiles are collected, stored, and used for
quality control and process optimization. Data can be used for both
on-premise analytics and AI, as well as delivered to a cloud for
machine learning and similar purposes such as digital twins.
The latest addition to the TIPS solution family is TIPS OMS

breaking through corporate silos through knowledge sharing and
collaboration. OMS significantly increases efficiency in the mill
production environment through real-time data, dashboard visibility
into production, and seamless communication between mill teams.
“The tissue industry has been without major innovations for many years,
both in new products and in new process and management
technologies. So, I understand that the sector deserves a true
turnaround in all aspects.”
