Sappi Fine Paper North America, Boston, Mass., USA, this week announced that it is a recipient of IDG's CIO magazine (Framingham, Mass., USA) 2013 CIO 100 award. The 26th annual award program recognizes Sappi's Ringer Detection System project at the Somerset Mill for exemplifying the highest level of operational and strategic excellence in information technology (IT).
Sappi's Ringer Detection System project utilizes an innovative smart camera technology that minimizes costly downtime on paper machines by detecting defects that can occur during the production of coated paper. On an annual basis, the impact to yield by minimizing roll failures is equivalent to $1.5 million.
"This award is really an acknowledgement of the entire cross-functional team at the Somerset Mill," said Anne Ayer, VP of corporate development and CIO, Sappi Fine Paper North America. "I am impressed by the collaborative efforts of the team to creatively develop a state-of-the-art solution that directly contributes to the bottom line of the mill and the company. This is also a reflection of the broader Sappi IT team objectives to work closely with our business partners to drive valuable innovations."
Executives from the winning companies will be recognized at the CIO 100 Symposium and Awards Ceremony, to be held Tuesday evening, August 13, at The Broadmoor in Colorado Springs, Colo.
