Thai packaging provider SCG has selected Aspen Mtell software to cut unplanned downtime. Aspen Mtell software mines operational and maintenance data to discover signs of failure that precede asset degradation and breakdowns, predict future failures and prescribe detailed actions to mitigate or solve problems.

Thai packaging firm TPBI has signed agreements to acquire two companies outright – UK-based Intelipac Paper Manufacturing (IPM) and Intelipac (ITP) – and a major stake in a third, Intelipac Australia (ITPA), in a move that will enhance its product portfolio to comprise both paper and reusable plastic packaging products.
