Track Downtime, Output & Utilization in Corrugation Units – Instantly with CorrEx

Are you losing visibility on machine performance in your corrugation unit?

If you’re part of the corrugated packaging industry, you already know that even a few minutes of downtime can lead to missed deadlines, higher waste, and frustrated customers. Most units, especially those operating manually or semi-automatically, lack real-time visibility into how their machines are performing at any given moment.
Common challenges include:
Untracked machine downtime and maintenance delays

Inconsistent output and utilization reporting
Manual data entry errors
Inefficient planning due to lack of real-time data
Inability to make data-driven decisions across shifts

That’s where CorrEx – SB Infotech’s intelligent corrugated packaging software – transforms your production floor.
