ePS Showcased Software Solutions For Corrugators At CorrExpo Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania based eProductivity Software provided a post-show report following its appearance at CorrExpo 2023, TAPPI's renowned annual corrugated conference and exhibition. Attendees had the opportunity to learn more about ePS solutions touted to reduce costs by streamlining process- es and optimizing operations. ePS also hosted a What’s New/Tech Talk on "Innovations in Corrugator Energy Sav- ing, Machine Reliability, and Production Efficiency." Additionally, ePS featured the CorrSuite (former- ly known as CTI), its comprehensive suite of end-to-end technology solutions for the corrugated industry designed to address the significant challenges prevalent in the in- dustry. With the sector grappling with fluctuating demand, scarcity of skilled labor, and the pressing demand for main- taining or even enhancing product quality while remaining competitive, CorrSuite steps up as a solution that auto- mates labor-intensive processes and reduces the reliance on manual tasks freeing up valuable human resources for higher-impact business initiatives. ePS’ industry experts guided visitors through the CorrSuite MES solution (including CorrPlan-plant sched- uling, CorrTrim-corrugator scheduling, and CorrTrac-roll stock management), to help manufacturers reduce costs, achieve real-time visibility, optimize production schedul- ing, and drive improvement across their operations. CorrTrac can effectively monitor stock levels, track us- age, and optimize inventory management processes, the company said, offering real-time visibility into the status and location of rolls to help insure accurate inventory counts and reduce the risk of running out or overstocking. “With CorrTrac, we can quickly identify what specific roll was used for an order; it has meant that we can con- solidate and optimize our paper stock which has been a massive cost-saving for the business,” said Daniele Plazzi, Chief Innovation Officer, FEPA S.p.A., an Italian corrugated box producer. Another ePS highlight at the show was the Escada cor- rugator control technology used by many of the world’s corrugated manufacturers. This system offers precise control and monitoring of corrugators, to help manufacturers optimize machine per- formance, reduce waste, and ensure product quality. Escada integrates with the ERP and MES solutions to create a unified ecosystem that enhances productivity and profitability for corrugated manufacturers. ePS's solutions are offered as end-to-end suites with out-of-the box certified industry workflows, or as vertical industry point solutions that augment generic ERPs and home-grown solutions with premium and differentiated in- dustry capabilities.
