The setting
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. The lines have to run, and they have to run steadily.
The work
Tekr worked inside the mill's organisation rather than delivering from a distance. 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.
The result
Higher production capacity and steadier operation. The systems were built to be carried forward by the mill's own team, not handed over as a black box.
