merQbiz®, a solutions and analytics provider for buyers and sellers of recovered fibre has introduced BaleVision™, providing companies actionable insights into quality. Combining a leading quality assessment tool with comprehensive data, BaleVision helps buyers maximise supplier performance and sellers earn a fair price for their product.
Until now, the industry has had limited options for measuring quality. Conventional measurement methodologies – such as ocular inspections and bale breaking – can be costly, labour intensive and highly subjective. Furthermore, any data collected is often unreliable and provides very little information for business decision-making and process optimisation.
BaleVision overcomes these limitations with a device for effective quality measurement and a system for data analysis and visualisation. The quality assessment tool analyses the bale from the inside out, collecting detailed data on fibre content, moisture, plastic, ash and other bale contaminants. merQbiz has partnered with the manufacturer, PTS, to be the exclusive distributor of the device in North America. BaleVision will soon be rolled out in other international markets. To learn more or schedule a demo, email [email protected] or visit www.merqbiz.com/quality
The real power of BaleVision is two-fold. It significantly increases the volume of bales that can be inspected and delivers data analytics that provide information transparency via dashboards. Combining the customer’s data with market and seasonal data, the system supplies trend analyses for quality, operations, procurement and finance.
“BaleVision is a solution that gives sellers insights into the real value of their recovered paper and enables mills to proactively optimise procurement and operational processes,” said John Fox, President & CEO of merQbiz. “There’s nothing like it in the industry that can deliver this level of value.”
As a comprehensive quality performance programme, BaleVision includes data collection, bale inspections, data analysis and industry trends. merQbiz will tailor the solution to each customer’s requirements and it can be integrated with existing enterprise technology platforms or function as a stand-alone system. To complement BaleVision, merQbiz is launching a new analytics platform that will house the dashboards and related services such as claims management and an export procurement solution.
