Mill says yes to a new DCS to preserve its competitive edge

In this case history, Rand-Whitney Containerboard trades its old distributed control system for improved reliability.
Rand-Whitney Containerboard produces 250,000 tons a year of containerboard at its mill in Montville, Connecticut in the United States.
