UPM Pulp’s Post

While working in Finance & Control, it is important to stay on pulse what is happening in our businesses to know what's behind the numbers. As we know, UPM had an extensive pulp mill investment in Uruguay, but did you know it covered also a fit-for-purpose pulp terminal in the port of Montevideo? Have a look below, and then you know...

An extensive network of large-scale production plants, including one located in Tertre in #Belgium, forms the core of their operations. Faced with the unique challenges posed by agricultural production, Yara chose to trust our WiDE platform for its Tertre factory. Our tool facilitates the complex task of collecting, structuring, validating and reconciling thousands of attributes measured continuously, at varying frequencies, in diverse units and of varying quality. Without WiDE, Yara operators and supervisors would be overwhelmed by the complexity of the Tertre plant's production and consumption data, making accurate tracking and reporting of activities almost impossible. 🎤 Our thanks to Aurelien Flamme, technical manager at Yara, who shared his vision on WiDE's contribution to the digitalisation of Yara. #YaraInternational #WiDE #DigitalTransformation #Agriculture #WideTech #Dataanalyst #Digitalisation #Industry4.0

The oil palm intercropping with Arconesia in Seluma Regency, Bengkulu Province, has entered its second cycle of intercropping with watermelon. As remembered by us, before the intercropping process, this land was neglected, filled with weeds, and the majority of the oil palm leaves were yellow due to nutrient deficiency. The oil palm farmer have other jobs, so he does not have time to visit his land, and he also lack sufficient funds for land maintenance. With just one cycle of intercropping with watermelon, the performance of the oil palms has significantly improved. We cannot emphasize enough that with proper management and supported by the right business model, this intercropping pattern will greatly assist the oil palm sector in Indonesia to become more sustainable. If you are interested in learning more about the opportunities and challenges for intercropping in oil palm fields, join our SustainPalm webinar series. First webinar: April 25th, 09:00 AM CEST | 14:00 PM WIB. Topic: Intercropping experiences in Bengkulu, Indonesia. Speakers: Dr. Maja Slingerland from Plant Production Systems Group - Wageningen University & Research and Jusrian Saubara Orpa Yanda from Arconesia More info: sustainpalm.org To register, please use the QR code provided in the flyer in the comments section.  #sustainablepalmoil #regenerativeoilpalm #intercropping #oilpalm #agritech #sustainpalm 

Graduated in Industrial Engineering with a specialization in Food Technology, Astrid Ivens joined Vulcain Engineering Belgium in October 2022 to work as Project Manager. It’s been now more than one year and a half that she is supporting AB InBev on different topics : "At first, I worked on a remote project in response to the CO2 crisis in Europe, which was affecting brewery operations. Our aim was to optimize CO2 consumption and explore opportunities for self-sufficiency. This involved creating a roadmap for breweries in the West Europe zone and outlining steps towards achieving self-sufficiency. Additionally, we developed a CO2 playbook to guide the implementation of relevant initiatives." "Later, I transitioned to full-time on-site work at the Stella Artois brewery in Leuven, focusing on the integration of new weak wort tanks. This required the placement of tanks, tie-ins, valves, and piping. The role was crucial in coordinating these activities to ensure a smooth and effective connection with the pre-existing infrastructure. Alongside this project, I had the opportunity to support various other projects where my role involves supporting different phases of utility projects until they reach procurement." Astrid also emphasizes her collaboration with other Vulcain employees: "I collaborated with another consultant from Vulcain on the CO2 project, and later, we were two consultants working on weak wort tanks, just on different sites. Apart from that, I've always felt tremendous support from the back-office team, which has created a pleasant and secure environment for me. This is what I appreciate about Vulcain: despite supporting projects in other companies, you always feel like part of the Vulcain family!" #VulcainEngineering #ProjectManagement #CO2 #BestPractices #FoodAndBeverage
