2. • Leader supplier of advanced solu;ons to manufacture wet wipes
• Part of IMA group, Italian company listed at Milan Stock Exchange, 37
plants all over the world, +1.3B Euro 2016 revenues

6. • Connecting physical objects to
the Internet
• Sensors gather information and
the objects transfer it
automatically to the internet.
• The IOT is changing the Internet
reality.
• 2020 – There will be 50 Billion
things connected (source Cisco)

15. MES connects machines and enterprise so that they
can realize the value of intelligent devices, closing the
information loop from execution through data
management.

16. WHAT AN MES BRINGS TO WW INDUSTRY
• Facilitate continuous improvement
– OEE monitoring and recording
• Insight into health, status and usage of all machines
– Maintenance call and dispatching
– Orders and lots management
• Meeting regulatory requirements
– Track & trace
– Digitized quality control
• Integration to ERP processes
– Industrial cost close up and increased granularity

17. The Connected Wipes
• All machines from Teknoweb are smart and ready
to be connected to the cloud
• The Connected Wipes is a real and full MES able
run complex/mul;-site shop floors
• The Connected wipes doesn’t require capital
investment
• It comes with all our machines and is paid as a
service
• Integra;on with manufacturer’s ERP is possible
although requires a specific project

18. Takeaways
• Smart machines will change the way we produce wet wipes
• More interconnected machines will generate a huge amount of Big Data
• To make a useful use of them we need intelligent systems to collect, collate and
analyze data
• Smart machine and MES systems make the plant INTELLIGENT and ready to
leverage Industry 4.0 values and grab all the related benefits
