Corrugator Link and Real-Time Corrugator Production Information

CTI’s CorrLink module automates the communication of schedule information between the planning office and the corrugator, and the collection of corrugator production data.

CorrLink will provide both your planners and corrugator crews with full editing capabilities—down to the order level—and will automatically collect and write production history data to CTI’s own database. CorrLink then uses a bidirectional communications driver to link to your corrugator, providing real-time corrugator line-up, production, and order status information.

Available in conjunction with CTI’s CorrTrim® module—CorrLink reduces manual entry and waste, facilitates informed decision making by providing real-time order and production information—and helps you increase production, improve corrugator and crew efficiency, and reduce manufacturing costs.
