CORRUGATED BY NUMBERS: WHY PRECISION IS THE NEW ARTFORM

At the FEFCO Technical Seminar 2025 in Rome, ePS Packaging is showcasing a major shift in corrugated manufacturing — from intuition-driven decisions to precision-based operations. In today’s competitive market, relying on gut instinct is no longer enough. The best-performing plants are embracing smart controls, real-time data, and automated adjustments to deliver consistent quality and efficiency.

🧠 From Craftsmanship to Algorithms

In the past, operators relied on experience and feel — tweaking heat, pressure, or speed based on intuition. But modern corrugated plants demand:

Repeatable quality

Minimal waste

Faster changeovers

Real-time responsiveness

Today, every stage — from splice timing to moisture control — is measured, monitored, and optimized automatically.

Like paint-by-numbers, precision brings discipline and clarity. But instead of brushes, we use sensors, algorithms, and automation. Every metric contributes to the masterpiece.

The question isn’t whether to embrace data. It’s how many numbers you’re still ignoring.
