Paper and cardboard

In the paper and board industry, material handling must be efficient, precise and reliable around the clock.

Large material flows, heavy loads and demanding production environments call for robust logistics solutions that support production continuity and efficient warehousing.

We offer solutions for the paper and board industry in the areas of material handling, storage and internal logistics, helping to improve safety, productivity and delivery reliability throughout the supply chain.

Optimise material flow from production to dispatch

As a paper and board manufacturer, you need reliable, efficient, and flexible material handling solutions to keep production running smoothly. From paper rolls and pulp bales to pallets of finished products, every movement impacts productivity, costs, and safety.

At Logisnext, we take a holistic approach to intralogistics to help you identify the right combination of AGVs, manual forklifts, conveyors, warehouse software, or other equipment and solutions needed to create seamless material flows across the entire operation.

By integrating automation, manual equipment, and intelligent software, you can improve efficiency, reduce product damage, increase safety, and optimise resource utilisation, resulting in better ROI. Automation can support processes such as reel warehousing, production feeding, pallet handling, and material transport, as Rocla AGV Solutions allow you to automate your in-house transport and warehousing of paper rolls, pallets of sheeted products and pulp bales. This way, manual operators can handle other more value-added tasks such as quality, process optimisation, shipping coordination, and continuous improvement, helping the entire operation become safer, more productive, and more efficient.

Meanwhile, FleetController software provides visibility and coordination across the operation and keeps all systems connected and working as a single fleet.

With the right solutions, you can optimise your material flow, reduce damage to goods and increase safety

Whether upgrading an existing facility or planning a new one, we design solutions that fit your processes today and can adapt as your business evolves tomorrow.

Frequently Asked Questions in the Paper and Board Industry

AGVs excel in repetitive, predictable flows like pallet transport, and staging to docks, while human workforce is better suited for more creative and added-value tasks.

While our AGVs also excel at clear handoff points such as conveyors, pick/put stations, when introducing automation for the first time you can start with high-volume, stable routes for the fastest ROI and leave the rest to human operators.

Not all processes can and should be automated, and we recommend the optimal automation approach, which combines human flexibility and intelligence with AGV controllability and reliability.

Our experts can analyse your processes and design a solution tailored to your needs.

Moreover, Rocla AGVs can be introduced step by step. By doing so, the new system can be integrated without upheaval, and teams can adapt and learn as they go.

Stacked reel warehouses can be efficiently automated using Rocla clamp AGVs. Typically, after the winder process, reels are transferred into the warehouse via conveyor.

The AGVs then stack the reels according to instructions from the Warehouse Management System (WMS), which can also be supplied by us. Loads are prepared in the dock area for manual trailer loading. For converting operations, the warehousing process is quite similar, although the material flows may differ slightly.

Yes. Rocla AGVs comply with ISO 3691-4 safety standards and use advanced sensors for obstacle detection. Together with additional options, such as the Proximity Detection System (PDS), they ensure safe and reliable operations in shared environments.

Additionally, we can also help design safe traffic zones and SOPs for the operators. In a mixed‑fleet environment, where AGVs and manual forklifts operate together, fluent traffic relies on both resources following the correct operating practices. When each vehicle behaves as expected, the system can function in seamless, reliable collaboration.

Rocla AGVs can automate the feeding of raw materials into various converting processes, such as sheeters in paper or board mills, or in separate converting plants.

Since converting infeed typically requires reels to be in a horizontal position, our reel fork AGVs are generally preferred for this task. It is also possible to use clamp AGVs equipped with rotating or tilting clamps, although this approach may involve certain limitations depending on the reel size, weight, and material type.

The number of vehicles needed required is determined by the transport frequencies, travel distances, and overall material‑flow demands in your process. Every facility is different, which is why fleet sizing is always project‑specific.

At Logisnext, we analyse your transport matrix, peak‑time workloads, and layout constraints to define the optimal fleet type and size, ensuring high availability, balanced utilisation, and the best return on investment. This is a core part of our expertise, and we develop the right solution together with you.
