turers. Heistand argues there is real opportunity even be- yond this strategy. For him, the goal is to create a system that thinks about the plant as a whole. A corrugated operation cannot afford to treat the cor- rugator, WIP storage, converting machines, finished goods warehouse, shipping area and business systems as inde- pendent islands. Production information needs to move with the material, and reliable communication between systems and departments is essential. Material handling needs to respond to production requirements. Storage needs to support scheduling. And the data generated by every one of those processes needs to become useful in- formation for plant personnel. That is the foundation of the Industry 4.0 and Industry 5.0 conversations now taking place throughout the manu- facturing industry.
