The production process of the paper industry comprises several steps:

• fibre preparation
• whitening
• sheet forming and pressing
• various surface treatments, drying

The industry pursues constant technological research to improve and invest in its plants, which are very complex and require a large amount of energy to operate.

Software such as just MES is useful for optimising the various production steps by supporting, for example, the reduction of paper changes and set-up times, optimisation of cutting and rewinding, and immediate action in case of emergencies to prevent all these operations from adversely affecting the workflow, causing possible delays in material preparation.
