ERP system for forest-based industry

Vitec ALMA is an ERP system born out of the needs of the forest-based industry and precisely responding to the industry’s current challenges.

Both in the mechanical and chemical forest-based industry, the production and production assets are of high value. In such an industry, high-quality enterprise resource planning, efficient data management, and functional maintenance play a role of special importance. These factors can have a significant impact on the competitiveness of the forest-based industry in Finland.

The competitiveness of the forest-based industry in Finland is based on the high level of competence, highly automated production, end product quality, and the reliability and good reputation of Finnish operators. These factors give rise to cost efficiency and security of supply, which support the continuing competitive ability of the Finnish forest-based industry.

In maintaining competitiveness, the roles of data management, process management, production optimisation, and preventive maintenance are emphasised.

The ALMA enterprise resource planning system allows comprehensive safeguarding of the security of production and supply of forest-based industry companies.

Main features of the ALMA enterprise resource planning system:

• You can document an entire facility into a database starting in the design or construction phase already.
• All types of data management in a single system: different equipment, processes, and systems of the plant.
• Design, maintenance and development of electrical and automation management.
• Introduce all the functions of your plant into the same system and build an all-inclusive system for the entire plant.
• A clearly documented integral system facilitates trouble-free use and ensures that data are not isolated in silos.
• You can manage large units and remove barriers between different resource groups; people’s skills are not isolated in silos.
• Preventive maintenance and planned care are easier to arrange if the entire plant has been clearly documented.
• Reaction to malfunctions is accelerated as the data can be found and are forwarded to the right people without hindrances.
• Manage inventory and material flows comprehensively in the same system.

One of ALMA’s major strengths is that the system does not compel you to arrange enterprise resource planning into a mere equipment hierarchy. With ALMA, the operation of your plant can be represented from the perspective of equipment hierarchy, process hierarchy, real estate, mechanical devices, or piping. In ALMA, unlimited dependencies can be established between these technical areas.
