W.E. Roberts Invests In eProductivity Software’s Escada Process Control Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania based W.E. Roberts announced investing in eProductivity Software Escada Profile pro- cess control and Syncro corrugator control solutions to enhance its sustainability and efficiency efforts. The new installation is planned to go live in October 2023. With a commitment to reducing waste and energy consumption while improving efficiency, W.E. Roberts has partnered with ePS Escada to automate its corrugator and streamline its operations by implementing Escada’s Profile and Syncro solutions. “With a choice of investing in a new corrugator or using our existing machine and enhancing its capabilities with technology, we decided to go the latter route,” said Ben Wilks, Operations Director, W.E. Roberts. “We’d had pre- vious experience with Escada on an older corrugator and knew its benefits, so it was the clear choice to proceed with a proven, trusted method.” “At W.E. Roberts, we are committed to driving sustain- ability and efficiency efforts in our industry,” said Richard Puffette, Financial Director, W.E. Roberts. “We believe that our investment in Escada’s Profile, process control, and Syncro corrugator control solutions will help us achieve these goals while providing our customers with the high- est-quality packaging solutions. We expect the biggest
cost savings to be achieved through the reduced waste and downtime on the machine; we should see increased capacity allowing us to deliver more and faster than be- fore.” W.E. Roberts expects significant improvements in its optimization efforts by reducing waste and energy con-
sumption. Customers typ- ically see a 0.5 percent reduction in corrugator waste and an average run speed increase of up to 25 percent. “The team at Escada has demonstrated a clear understanding of our busi- ness needs and engaged with us to identify the right solution to meet our needs," Wilks said. "In addition to Profile and Syncro, Escada will de- ploy a bespoke version of Optima, Escada’s roll stock management system, that
will integrate with our in-house roll stock software and operate on the roll stands and clamp truck, meaning that we have enhanced visibility of paper consumption, further aiding our lean manufacturing practice."
