Corrugator warp and board waste
Warp and washboarding drift through humidity swings were costing reject stacks on the most expensive material in the plant.
- Corvex holds warp to 0.6 mm/m
- −28% makeready waste
- Strength on target across grades

Where autonomy pays first
Illustrative scenarios drawn from the ideal customer profile.
Brand color and print-defect claims
Registration drift and color mismatch were driving brand-rejected print and reruns on the highest-visibility part of the package.
- Chromata holds ΔE under 1 to brand
- −48% brand-rejected print
- Full brand-color audit trail
Folder-gluer skips and fishtails
Skips and fishtails surfaced at the customer’s packer as jams and claims at the hardest stage to recover.
- Gluvex: 0 skips per 10k
- −50% packer-line failures
- −60% over-rejection

When a plant is ready for autonomy
Volume and mix
Sufficient board and box volume, mix and line count to drive clear ROI.
Integration access
Corrugator, press, die-cutter, folder-gluer and inspection with API or OPC access, plus MES.
Executive mandate
A mandate to cut waste, makeready or claims, or to automate quality and OEE across jobs.
Pilot appetite
Willingness to run a paid pilot with a defined waste, claim or OEE success metric.
The champions are the engineers who’ve been fighting the same drift for years. When they see it hold to target autonomously, the plant follows.

Questions converters ask
Are these customers real?
The scenarios and figures on this page are illustrative, drawn from Foldeon’s ideal-customer profile and product design targets. We’ll share reference conversations under NDA as pilots convert.
Do you work with our machine vendors?
Yes. Foldeon is vendor-neutral and built for mixed fleets, with cross-vendor connectors for corrugators, presses, die-cutters, folder-gluers, palletizers and MES.
What size plant is a fit?
Converters from roughly $30M to $10B in revenue with enough volume, mix and line count to drive clear ROI.
