Jujo Thermal seeks to upgrade its manufacturing business systems
Jujo Thermal Ltd., established in 1992, is one of the world’s leading suppliers of direct thermal and coated one-side papers. With a production volume of 70,000 tons per year, the Jujo Thermal team wanted to update their manufacturing execution system (MES) to improve production planning, recipe management, batch processing and overall efficiency.
Jujo Thermal is located in Kauttua, Finland, and owned by Nippon Paper Industries, one of the largest and most experienced paper manufacturing companies in the world. The mill produces specialty thermal papers for labels, tickets and tags, and point-of-sale use. They also manufacture one-side coated self-adhesive label stock and fiber-based barrier material for flexible packaging. The company wanted to update their technology to improve operations by having consolidated data and better information sharing, creating an end-to-end manufacturing solution. They also viewed the upgrade as a complement to their 5S lean manufacturing methodology and a way to make both their research and development and supply and delivery processes more efficient.
