ECOsine Active Increased Reliability in the Paper Industry

Hollingsworth and Vose wanted to improve the efficiency of their compressed air system, lower the electricity expense component of manufacturing cost in their commodity industry, and conserve energy leading to lowered greenhouse gas emissions. Compressed air systems degrade over time and become leaky and inefficient. Hollingsworth and Vose wanted to increase the frequency of system inspections without paying the high cost of manual labor.

Common paper breaks consequently lead up to 60 minutes of downtime, delaying a potential $10K per hour of production value process.

The global agricultural trade industry has been grappling with outdated and inefficient processes. The industry has not seen significant technological innovation since the mass adoption of email 30 years ago, making global supply chain management increasingly challenging. The need to track more partners, suppliers, and endpoints has become more complex, and post-trade execution remains highly manual, repetitive, costly, and time-consuming. The industry is heavily reliant on paper-based processes and email exchanges, with over 275 million emails exchanged annually to process an estimated 11,000 worldwide shipments of grain. Paper-based certificates and bills of lading are not easily exchanged among multiple parties, and replacing them if misplaced is costly. The COVID-19 pandemic has further disrupted supply chains due to interruptions to paper document deliveries and the increasing necessity to work from home, accelerating the need for digital transformation.
