ABB Ability™ Manufacturing Execution Systems for Pulp and Paper

The pulp and paper industry is entering a pivotal era as the European Union’s Regulation on Deforestation-free Products (EUDR) takes effect. With a deadline of December 2025, mills must implement robust traceability and due diligence mechanisms. As an EU-approved solution, ABB now offers a seamless pathway to EUDR readiness. It has been enhanced with critical features tailored to the regulation’s requirements.

ABB Ability Manufacturing Execution System for Pulp and Paper will bring single mill operators into the new age of digital transformation. Leveraging ABB deep domain expertise and technology, ABB will provide single mill operations running tissue, paper roll, pulp bale, and paper converting a comprehensive solution designed for order-to-invoice optimization with real-time visibility, and automation from a modular design.

ABB has been chosen by Asia Symbol due to their deep domain expertise in China’s pulp and paper industry and ten years of trusted partnership with Asia Symbol. The ABB Ability MES Pulp and Paper solution will provide greater visibility, quality control, traceability, and reduced operating expense (OPEX) across their tissue mills.

ABB awarded contract to upgrade Stora Enso mills in Sweden to ABB Ability™ MES for Pulp and Paper to streamline their end-to-end production and boost their overall efficiency. The solution will interface with the mill’s ERP, DCS, QCS, WIS, laboratory devices and more for true integration and greater visibility and control across the value chain.
