Georgia-Pacific Chemicals Offers New Service to Predict Resin Usage
ATLANTA – Predicting resin usage in a specific plant can be time consuming, difficult and inaccurate. A technology solution from Georgia-Pacific Chemicals (GPC), Customer Inventory Tracking, now tracks resin inventory and displays it via a web-based dashboard. GPC customers then use the data to optimize order profiles. Based on previous two-week or 24-hour usage, the system can suggest canceling, moving or placing additional orders as needed for optimal efficiency.
Customer Inventory Tracking works by utilizing the mill’s current digital level monitoring of its resin tanks. Data from the system are sent to Georgia-Pacific Chemicals where they are transformed, based on that mill’s unique operations, into a dashboard that can be accessed on either desktop or mobile devices and only by designated personnel.
