Companies in the forest industry (including pulp & paper) are facing a dramatic upheaval. The demand for traditional paper – for example, for newspapers or office use – is declining about five percent annually worldwide, while the demand for fiber products continues to grow.

Siemens wanted to address the problem by methods and process innovations by which new materials could be produced from fibers, and new business models. Digitalisation is changing the way the forest industry functions, yet enormous untapped potential remains. The key enabler for harnessing the benefits of digitalization is a lifecycle plant management from engineering to operations.

How we reached the goals
