Plant and Personnel Safety. Facility Closures and Downsizing. The High Cost of Compliance.
Mills must keep costs down, meet industry mandates and adhere to environmental standards while facing the
pressures created by declining demand in this uncertain economy.
Wireless for the Pulp and Paper Industry
Operators must have access to the best available information. Wireless applications such as Workforce Mobility, Remote Data Acquisition, Asset Tracking and Video
Monitoring provide wireless data collection for accurate and timely information the key to make better decisions
which in turn frees personnel time to concentrate on other areas, such as safety,
security, regulations and environmental concerns, as the man-hours to collect data are
reduced. Wireless can provide better, more timely and reliable information – and better information means
better performance and lower operating costs.
