ABB helps South Africa's paper industry move towards a new stage of intelligent manufacturing

ABB helps South Africa's paper industry move towards a new stage of intelligent manufacturing

Aug 02, 2025

A Key Turning Point for South Africa's Papermaking Industry

South Africa is one of the most developed papermaking industries on the African continent, boasting a complete value chain from forestry resources to pulping, papermaking, and packaging production. For decades, the South African paper industry has maintained domestic supply while also actively exporting to neighboring African countries. However, constrained by aging legacy equipment, high operating costs, and increasing environmental pressures, the industry is seeking new, more efficient and green paths.

 

With government policies promoting energy conservation and emission reduction, and growing market demand for high-quality paper products, digitalization and automation have become key drivers of industry upgrading. In this context, ABB's Genix platform precisely meets this transformational need.

 

 

ABB Ability™ Genix offers a one-stop intelligent solution.

The ABB Ability™ Genix platform integrates AI, edge computing, and big data analytics to integrate operational data from all aspects of a paper mill, breaking down information silos. The platform not only enables real-time monitoring of equipment status but also enables predictive maintenance based on historical data to prevent unplanned downtime. It also provides intelligent decision support for energy management, raw material utilization efficiency, and quality control.

 

A large South African paper manufacturer reported that by deploying the Genix platform, its energy consumption decreased by 12%, finished product scrap rates dropped by over 20%, and product consistency significantly improved.

 

Leading the African paper industry towards smart manufacturing

The head of ABB's South African branch stated, "The transformation of South Africa's paper industry is not just about catching up with global trends; it's also a critical step in the sustainable development of local manufacturing. We hope to use ABB's proven automation solutions to help more manufacturers in South Africa and neighboring countries embark on the path of smart manufacturing."

 

Currently, the South African paper market is evolving towards greater automation and flexibility. ABB's involvement not only improves the industry's overall technological level but also creates an excellent opportunity to cultivate a new generation of smart manufacturing talent in South Africa.

 

As ABB continues to expand its presence in the African market, this smart revolution in South Africa's paper industry is likely to become a benchmark for digital transformation in the African manufacturing sector as a whole.
