IBEMA is a Brazilian cardboard paper company with an annual production of 108,000 tons located in Turvo, PR, Brazil. They implemented X-Trim and integrated it with their Microsoft Dynamics AX system to minimize trim waste, optimize cutting machine sequencing, and improve long-term planning. This implementation over 3.5 months helped IBEMA achieve better production planning and key benefits like long-term visibility and effective planning. Based on this success, IBEMA decided to implement additional Greycon solutions like opt-Studio and GreyconMill to further boost efficiency and customer service.
