The lines have to run. Steadily.
Baling is the last step in a pulp mill. Finished pulp is pressed, wrapped, and stacked into bales, then loaded for shipment. When a baling line stops, the disruption travels upstream.
Embedded in the mill's own organisation.
The TM5 line got a new control system, programmed on site against real production. On the two TM4 lines the work was the kind that makes plants run steadily: programming drives and conveyors, optimizing operation, closing out punch lists, and hunting down bugs and faults, alongside the operators and technicians who run the lines every day.
Carried forward by the mill's own team.
Higher production capacity and steadier operation. The systems were built to be maintained in-house, not handed over as a black box.
