Case Study

Asia-Based Paper and Packaging Manufacturer

Learn how this Asia-based paper and packaging manufacturer transitioned away from PI to support a scalable, flexible platform aligned with their ZERO CO₂ 2050 sustainability initiative.

Company’s Story

Facing limitations with their existing PI system, this Asia-based paper and packaging manufacturer sought a platform that could support their long-term sustainability goals. They selected dataPARC for both visualization and historian functionality, initiating a full migration away from PI Vision. Starting with 20,000 tags, the implementation laid the foundation for scaling across the entire mill—with the potential to support 60,000 tags as part of their ZERO CO₂ 2050 initiative.
