Industry
Pulp, paper and packaging
Continuous, capital-intensive assets where a single break or grade change propagates cost through the entire line, and where energy is one of the largest controllable inputs.
Where value is typically lost
- Web breaks and sheet defects with inconsistent cause attribution
- Grade-change and start-up losses treated as unavoidable
- Refiner, dryer and vacuum energy consumption unattributed
- Roll rejects and downgrades absorbed into standard cost
- Recurring failures on dryer, press and winder sections
Where intelligence applies
- Event ledger reconciling breaks, stops and slow-running across shifts
- Financial exposure by section, grade and cause
- Specific energy consumption by grade and machine section
- Quality downgrade costing tied to process conditions
Data we typically work from
- DCS or historian tags
- Machine stop and break logs
- CMMS work orders
- Production and grade records
- Energy meters
A sensible starting point
A diagnostic across 12 months of machine stop, break and work order records usually identifies the two or three cause families carrying most of the exposure.

Where operations in this sector usually begin.
Reduce unplanned downtime
Most sites already record their stoppages. Far fewer can say, with evidence, which assets and which recurring causes are costing the most money this quarter — or prove that the actions taken actually removed the loss.
Improve production and OEE
OEE is widely reported and rarely trusted. When availability, speed and quality losses are measured differently by line, shift or site, the number stops driving decisions.
Lower energy costs
Energy is usually managed at the meter and the invoice. The decisions that actually change consumption happen at the asset, the product changeover and the shift.
