Digital Transformation in RDM Group through Intelligent Planning

RDM Group, a leading producer in the recycled cartonboard business, embarked on a complex journey to embed digital intelligence across the entire organization. The Group aimed to incorporate AI, no-touch transactions, augmented reality, and Bot technology into its operations. However, the Group faced challenges with its existing processes. These processes were not integrated, data and insights were stored in silos and only sent electronically on request, and information analysis was manual and ad hoc. The Group needed a solution that would integrate and automate processes, provide real-time visibility of data, introduce descriptive, diagnostic, and predictive analytics practices, and enable data sharing across different departments, professional functions, plants, and headquarters.

RDM Group is the leading producer in the recycled cartonboard business and the largest producer in Italy, France, the Netherlands, and the Iberian Peninsula. The Group's business model follows that of the circular economy, which replaces the concept of waste with that of resource. The Group has embarked on a complex journey to embed digital intelligence across the entire organization, including AI, no-touch transactions, augmented reality, and Bot technology. The Group has a production volume of 1,470 tons/yr of paper, employs 2,300 people, operates in 70 countries, and generates revenue of over €803M.
