ABOUT PANTHER

Engineers, designers, programmers, testers, support experts, and account managers with one purpose

PROGRESS FOR PULP, PAPER AND CONVERTING

The nature of continuous manufacturing is challenging. This breed of business demands extraordinary levels of quality tracking against individual finished goods identification. The supply chain is an expansive ecosystem of activity and data. Almost nothing is simple, and everything — people, machines, information and processes — must work without failure to make things happen just the right way and at just the right time.

Pulp and paper manufacturers. Converting and packaging companies. Makers of nonwoven products. They are on treadmills to maximize quality, productivity, sustainability and modernization to operate factories of the future. None of them can afford to just keep up; they must stay ahead.

Panther is right there, inventing and enhancing what the world’s pulp, paper, tissue, packaging and nonwoven producers need to master their manufacturing execution processes, quality and machine control.

We supply software to operate their manufacturing environments, enforce business rules and generate customer-facing communication. Panther develops interfaces to automate information and machines. We install, maintain and upgrade measurement and control devices to monitor and control product quality. Panther collects and reports manufacturing data intelligence. And we solve difficult problems day after day, decade after decade. But we are more than heavy-lifters.

Building an entire technology and service company around our customers’ industry made us insiders and our support organization a juggernaut of service. Panther is programmers, process engineers and former manufacturers, whose products were born in the labs and on the shop floors and shipping docks of our customers. And we will always help our customers achieve their goals.

Our customers say…

“Panther Systems stepped up to the plate and met the challenge.”

“Panther was chosen based on our assessment of the company, their people, and a demonstrated track record of implementing their systems on time and within budget.”

“I am impressed with the job that Panther has done in a very short time. The systems are being evaluated and problems are being solved.”

“The benefit from Panther is their expertise in heavy weight board paper machine control, and their willingness to take the time to assess the real needs. They were able to find problems that were never addressed by the previous vendor.”

“The new system has improved roll quality by allowing for increased attention to cross direction test profiles. This system will now allow wet end personnel to have access to real-time test data and will let them look at reel averages, roll averages and CD profile graphs.”

“The integrated solution produced benefits in the availability and consistency of data. Since all the applications share a common database structure, the integrity and immediacy of data allows operators to make informed decisions without consulting a supervisor to analyze an unusual occurrence. Increased data confidence also allows the mill to seek real causes of problems rather than assume a system data oddity. Two such instances were recorded that improved mill operations and reduced manufacturing cost.”

“Orders can be quickly assembled and shipped from the available inventory. This flexibility initially decreased inventory requirements by 33%, while improving shipping efficiency and accuracy. It drastically reduced overtime costs. Partial load shipments have been eliminated. Further inventory reductions are being pursued as the operational efficiency goes up. Flexibility of fulfilling orders quickly is a major benefit to the shipping department.”

“One of the major strengths of Panther Systems is their fully developed web-based reporting system. A secured user can inquire on a ship-to customer and view all the associated orders for that particular customer and their current order status. By selecting one of those orders, the user can see all rolls associated with the order along with their quality attributes. The user also has the ability to view quality test information in graphical form. The logistics team views this ability as a valuable asset that can be used by local mill personnel, select customers and the sales group.”

“The startup went very well, almost a non-event. I attribute a great deal of that success to the diligence of the project team and their willingness to involve end users in the process early and often. The other component to that success was the due diligence we did up front in selecting the right system and a vendor with whom we could work.”

“Single vendor support for the combined roll tracking and dry lab systems enhances support efficiency.”
