Think beyond – milestones since 2022

2025 will move the corrugated industry. It will be the year of the holistic Box Plant 2025 factory concept. On our website, you could regularly follow its further development since 2022: Which technologies and services are already available to you? Which innovations are gradually completing the Box Plant 2025 modular system?

As a service, we have compiled the highlights from three years for you here: Innovation topics such as digital printing, automation and digitally supported service. As well as offerings that help you to adapt your production to increasingly short-term requirements in an agile way. Or to master increasing productivity requirements despite a lack of experienced personnel.

This alone makes it worth taking a quick look in the rear-view mirror before continuing at high speed towards the year where vision becomes reality.

Starting point

Think beyond

Markets don’t wait – time to start is now.

The Box Plant 2025 is our holistic approach that defines corrugated factories beyond the corrugator. From production to integrated digital printing and intralogistics, the Box Plant 2025 is highly automated, intelligent and quickly adaptable to customer requirements. It therefore improves all your KPIs – whether it’s availability, waste reduction or delivery time.

You can already get many of the key technologies today – and flexibly upgrade with further innovations at any time in the future. Time to start is now.

Know-how

Think beyond skills

Ready for learning – because it counts.

As a manager in the corrugated industry, you know: Experienced personnel, unmatched in operation and maintenance, are becoming increasingly rare. This happens at a time when knowledge and experience are key factors for success. With the Box Plant 2025, we therefore offer you a future-oriented combination of intelligent technology and personal expertise – at the highest level. 

With Training+, your team learns to put excellent know-how into practice.

With M2P® Sheet Feeder, you can book our expert capacities for electrical and mechanical needs, and with M2P® Operations for the technical operation of your production.

No matter which route you choose, it’s worth thinking beyond today’s “skills”.

2022: ChatGPT 3.5

Who had heard of ChatGPT before version 3.5 was released? Things then happened quickly: one million users registered within five days of the release. We now use ChatGPT as naturally as we use our smartphones or Google. 

Meanwhile, users of BHS Corrugated are pleased that intelligent technology provides answers every day for optimized, material-saving and resource-efficient operation. Or that availability and quality in Jetliner® digital printing are virtually self-regulating. Quietly. 

Performance

Think beyond performance

There’s more – throughout the entire lifecycle.

Whether greenfield or retrofit: With Box Plant 2025-ready technologies, you can take the performance of your corrugator one step further. 

AutoPilot: Produce consistently at optimum production speed – regulated in real-time and independent of the experience of your operating personnel. This eliminates expensive speed reserves.

Upgrade as a Service: Optimize your entire system lifecycle with us. And book your peace of mind with an all-round worry-free contract for all performance and obsolescence upgrades.

Availability

Think beyond availability

We are here for you – so that your corrugator is there for you.

High availability is an important success factor for you – but by no means the only one. Our Box Plant 2025-ready Lifecycle Services also aim to achieve excellent productivity and product quality throughout your entire factory. 

For example, with Parts+, the all-round worry-free concept for used and wearing parts. 

With our M2P® solutions, we support you according to your make-or-buy strategy: Choose full service with M2P® Premium – then we promise: “We do it for you”. 

Or choose flexible support with M2P® Flex – according to the motto “We do it with you”.

2023: Robot colleague

It walks on two legs, handles deliveries – and gracefully avoids human colleagues when their paths cross: A fully-fledged humanoid robot works at Amazon.

There’s no need for googly eyes with the autonomous intralogistics systems from BHS Intralogistics. Whether at the peeling station or during transportation. And one thing is unmatched in the industry: the 4.4 tons of load capacity with which an iShuttle moves paper rolls safely, correctly allocated and sustainably from the reel storage to production. Even before 2023.

Digital Print

Think beyond the corrugator

Jetliner® digital print – lead the competition.

It all began with a vision. Now, it has proven its application maturity with leading pilot customers: BHS Jetliner, the series of single-pass inkjet printing systems for integrated digital corrugated board printing. 

With the BHS Jetliner Xceed, you’re entering the full color print market. This enables you to offer extremely flexible advertizing and information media that can be printed in any lot size. With the BHS Jetliner Monochrome, you can participate in the rapidly growing trend of turning corrugated board into a data carrier by printing dynamic single-color QR codes. 

Both BHS Jetliner systems open up new options for you – from higher productivity to excellent printing results on very lightweight papers. All this across the full width and speed of your corrugator. Last but not least, you permanently minimize your costs for personnel and processing. 

Intralogistics

Think beyond motion

Autonomous intralogistics – processes in motion.

Often, the focus of optimized corrugated board production is on the corrugator itself. But only the interaction with modern intralogistics opens up the full potential for more productivity, flexibility, cost reduction and sustainability. 

With solutions from BHS Intralogistics, you can put your material flow on a completely new basis. It's not just about optimizing routes and times. It's also about reacting quickly to order changes, minimizing paper waste and transport damage, making material flows transparent and raising safety for people and materials to a new level. 

All this – and more – is the result of integrating BHS Intralogistics into the Box Plant 2025.

Autonomously from reel storage to production and back.

2024: The candle wax rocket

After 18 years of development, a rocket with a revolutionary fuel was launched into space in May 2024: candle wax. The paraffin-oxygen propulsion system is characterized by minimized operating costs and almost zero risk of explosion.

In a similar way, the Jetliner® technology can fundamentally change the corrugated industry. And there are other parallels: almost two decades of evolution, the potential for a paradigm shift, lower costs and greater sustainability.

FLEX Line

Think beyond integration

FLEX Line – seamlessly digital, limitlessly flexible.

The launch of the Box Plant 2025 is approaching. Its strategy is already embodied in the most consistently digital corrugator line from BHS Corrugated – the FLEX Line. 

With the FLEX Line, you can flexibly address a great variety of success factors: whether factory-wide optimized throughput, resource efficiency, CO2 footprint or TCO. This is where the radical integration capability of the FLEX Line pays off – even years after the initial installation. Choose any technology that supports your goals at any time. From the new Cassette Facer CF-A to our preprint systems for smart packaging to BHS Jetliner digital printing. Plus, autonomous intralogistics that work seamlessly with the intelligent Reel Stand RS-A.

Optimize your corrugated board factory holistically with the FLEX Line. Actively shape the rapid changes in the market environment instead of being driven by them.

Sustainability

Think beyond profitability

Sustainability unboxed – for a cleaner future.

Future-oriented corrugated board production is intelligent, digital, resource-optimized and waste-minimized. This creates a logical link between cost-effectiveness and sustainability. 

In the Box Plant 2025, this connection is already built into the design. Discover how we are driving forward a sustainable value chain in line with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). And just as important: how our technologies can contribute to an optimized footprint of your corrugated board production. Because internal and external perspectives belong together. Beyond profitability.
