Panguaneta, Italy - Cutting raw material waste and boosting efficiency with Raute peeling lines

Summary

Challenge

Before the modernization project, Panguaneta Spa faced several critical challenges that limited production efficiency and resource optimization:

• Aging production lines
  Two of the three existing peeling lines were outdated, resulting in slower operations and higher maintenance needs.
• High raw material consumption
  The older technology made it difficult to minimize core diameter and optimize log usage, leading to unnecessary waste.
• Limited data-driven insights
  Production processes lacked systematic data collection, making it hard to identify improvement opportunities or implement corrective actions effectively.
• Need for future-proof solutions
  To maintain competitiveness and meet growing global demand, Panguaneta needed modern, reliable equipment capable of supporting long-term efficiency goals.
• Operator safety and machine durability concerns
  Ensuring safe working conditions and robust equipment performance was a priority, requiring a partner with proven expertise.

We realized that to stay ahead, we needed technology that not only improved efficiency but also gave us actionable data for continuous development.
