Detailed planning of a strategic location development

In all industries, the requirements of modern production locations are focused on a high degree of digitalization and short response times. Especially in the corrugated industry, which is traditionally marked by manual activities and processes, enormous advantages can be created through technologically optimized production processes. An experienced UNITY team has developed a ”Vision of the Factory of the Future“ for Mondi within a very short time in close cooperation with its experts. This now serves as the foundation for detailed planning. Cross-industry experiences in factory planning were combined with future-oriented technology concepts and process-optimizing measures to create an innovative, customer-specific vision. UNITY worked on digitalization use cases, changes in fields of activity, IT architecture requirements and process optimization potentials in the core areas of production and supply chain management. With regard to strategic location development, space requirements, technology implementation and personnel requirements (FTE) were dimensioned according to the specific processes. At the end of the project phase, Mondi’s management was presented with a visionary concept of a future plant. The development of this vision represents the beginning of a future-oriented partnership for UNITY Austria and Mondi Corrugated Solutions. The name of the project, ‚Estonteco‘ (Future), aptly describes the project for all of its participants.
