RINGby Ringwood
For corrugated plants

The modern operator screen for your glue kitchen.

Ring replaces the 2002-era software on your operator PC. Same controller, same tanks, same wiring — nothing on the plant floor changes.

What Ring is

Ring, in short

Ring is the modern replacement for the operator screens in your starch-glue kitchen — the software your operators watch and touch all shift. It takes over from the old system (RS-360), a program written in 2002 that fewer and fewer people know how to keep running. Everything under it stays put: the same Allen-Bradley controller and its program, the same tanks, the same pumps and valves.

1,400+

past batches rescued from the old database, ready to import into Ring during setup.

See the whole plant at a glance

One live screen carries the running batch, every tank, active alarms, and plant health. Green means normal. Red means attention. A shift starts with the full picture, not a menu hunt.

  • Running batch, tanks, and alarms on one screen
  • Green/red health you can read from across the room
  • Tap a key number to open the screen behind it
Ring — Insights
Ring insights report showing cost per batch, glue given away, downtime priced in money, and an ingredient stock forecast.

Know what everything costs

Ring turns production into money you can see. What every batch and every week actually cost, the glue given away by over-dosing, downtime priced in real terms, and a fuel gauge for your raw materials. The old system never tracked any of this.

  • Cost per batch and per week
  • Giveaway and downtime, in money
  • Ingredient stock forecast and equipment effectiveness (OEE)
Ring — Batch start
Ring's guided batch start: pick a recipe, set the target, and confirm a plain-language summary before anything is sent to the controller.

Fewer mistakes, calmer shifts

Guided batch start reads back exactly what it will send — in one plain sentence — before anything reaches the controller. Alarms show the controller's own words and the first thing to check. And shift handover is written down instead of shouted over the noise.

  • Plain-language confirmation before every batch
  • Alarms with real wording and first-response steps
  • 13 languages and a written shift handover
Ring — Batch history
Ring batch history report listing past batches with a date filter and a one-click export button.

Records you own, software you can keep

Every batch, alarm, and shift is recorded and searchable. Pull up any run, print it, or open it in Excel in one click. It all lives in an open format any modern software shop can maintain — for the next 20 years.

  • Batches, alarms, and shifts kept permanently
  • One-click export that opens in Excel
  • Maintainable by any modern shop
Why now

Replace it while nothing is on fire

The old system still works. That is exactly why now is the calm time to replace it. It was built with 2002 tools you can no longer hire for, which leaves the plant one retirement or one database failure away from a crisis with no vendor to call. Ring installs alongside it, so you switch on your own schedule instead of under pressure. The old system stays installed as your fallback.

Most of what you've seen is live today. Anything that isn't is labeled on the roadmap.
