Tracking Supply Chains in Paper Manufacturing Plants with Real-Time Data

In the paper and packaging industry, raw materials are often stored in large, two-meter bales. This presents significant challenges for intralogistics, not only because of the space requirements but also due to the legal obligation to ensure traceability of the materials used. With IdentPro’s Warehouse Execution System (WES) featuring laser tracking and real-time data capabilities, costly searches and empty runs in paper warehouses are eliminated. Supply chains, stock levels, and material compositions can be traced in the system at any time.

The global flow of goods operates at the intersection of economic processes and legal frameworks. Supply chains must be traceable. In Germany, for example, this is governed by the Supply Chain Due Diligence Act (LkSG), which ensures the binding implementation of the United Nations Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights. Environmental protection plays a central role in these regulations. For the paper and packaging industry, whose primary raw material wood is naturally limited, sustainability has been a key concern long before it became a political priority.
