Metsä Board has awarded AFRY an assignment to deliver a digital solution, based on AFRY’s digital system platform, integrated with internal product logistics systems for its Husum mill in Sweden.
Metsä Board’s Husum mill in Sweden is an integrated board and pulp mill producing folding boxboard, uncoated white kraftliner and bleached chemical pulp. Due to increased demand for sustainably produced packaging materials, the Husum mill is now increasing its capacity and upgrading to a higher level of energy efficiency. This upgrade also requires a new, modern digital system to take care of the product transfers from the board machine to upcoming production phases.
AFRY will deliver a modern Industry 4.0 digital solution based on the AFRY platform. The advanced solution will act as the data information hub, directing the assigned logistics devices from the board machine to the planned destination. The solution will have integration with logistics systems that control the production flow and communicate with other systems, like automated vehicles and cranes, to convey the roles.
The new digital system will be installed by autumn 2023.
AFRY is a European leader in engineering, design, and advisory services with global reach.
