Nearly three decades of corrugator scheduling software expertise enables Kiwiplan to take corrugator scheduling into the next generation with Continuous Automatic Scheduling Environment (CASE).  For box plants and sheet feeders, CASE provides automated, corrugator scheduling 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Consistent schedules

CASE empowers corrugating facilities to schedule automatically based on specific rules and guidelines established by management and experienced scheduling personnel. Orders are scheduled consistently with minimal human intervention, reducing human resource needs required to deal with day-to-day scheduling tasks.

In addition, CASE utilises the powerful analysis capabilities possible with today’s computing environment and eliminates the emotion associated with the scheduling process. CASE enforces plant-specific scheduling rules regarding:

  • Trim goals
  • Work-in-progress level
  • On-time delivery commitments
  • And more


Dynamic, automatic response

  • Monitors the corrugator line-up 24 hours a day, 7 days a week
  • Schedules right orders at the right time—automatically, dynamically based on specific rules
  • Automatically downloads orders to the corrugator controller, converting machines and automated conveyors
