Speeding up remotely at Jeesr industries

Jeesr Industries operates Morocco’s largest tissue line, with a capacity of 30,000 tonnes per year. To further improve productivity, it was decided to target a machine speed increase from 1,800 m/min to 1,900 m/min. Jeesr and Valmet initiated the project just before the global pandemic Covid-19 closed borders, making it impossible for Valmet’s experts to travel to the site. Projects like this are complex, requiring thorough planning. When operating remotely, modern digital tools and communication channels are needed to enable real-time data collection and continuous information sharing.
