Peterson, one of the leading suppliers in the Scandinavian packaging industry, is setting new standards in Industry 4.0 with its new production site in Halden, Norway: by utilising artificial intelligence, advanced and extensive automation technologies and a carbon-neutral manufacturing operation, Peterson is on the verge of commissioning one of the most technologically advanced packaging facilities in the world.<\/p>\n

CO2-neutral thanks to a closed-loop energy system<\/h2>\n

The new site in Halden - which replaces the previous site in Sarpsborg - is fully operational. CO2-neutral<\/strong> designed and utilised for steam and heat generation Biogas<\/strong>. The boiler is fuelled with this biogas to produce steam for the corrugator. As more and more lorries are expected to run on biogas in the future, it will also be possible to refuel them at the local filling station.<\/p>\n

As biogas is produced through the fermentation of organic waste, it represents a Completely climate-neutral energy source<\/strong> is the result. The energy efficiency of the system is optimised by an innovative Heat recovery system<\/strong> improved even further. This means that the entire factory building can be heated with residual heat.<\/p>

Utilising organic waste to generate electricity and recover heat is an excellent example of how a closed-loop system improves the energy balance and reduces the environmental impact.<\/p>\n

World's first installation of the \u201eNext Generation\u201c AI-controlled corrugator\u201c<\/h2>\n

In addition to the plant's very high energy efficiency, the site also scores highly with its state-of-the-art machinery. The plant in Halden will be the first production facility in the world to operate the \u201eNext Generation\u201c corrugator from Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and will therefore be a pioneer in this field. Artificial intelligence<\/strong> integrated into the production of corrugated packaging solutions.<\/p>
