Case Study: Kimberly-Clark closes the production loop with Braincube

Kimberly-Clark closes the production loop with 4.0

Kimberly-Clark, a major paper products manufacturer, faced a huge challenge when demand for tissue products surged by over 40% at the start of the Covid-19 pandemic. They needed to minimize costly unplanned downtime on their production lines to meet this unprecedented demand and turned to the vendor Braincube for a solution involving its IIoT platform and predictive analytics.

Braincube provided a solution centered on its Advanced Analysis App and predictive Digital Twins to model the manufacturing process. This allowed Kimberly-Clark’s engineers to anticipate and correct issues before they caused downtime. The platform centralized data from various sources, enabling quick discoveries and optimizations that saved significant time and resources. As a result, the team could push predictive data directly to PLCs for closed-loop control, dramatically improving efficiency and supporting the company's broader sustainability goals.
