But, did the original designers really expect these systems would last for decades? Maybe that's a moot point considering the reality today. The lifespan of many of the so-called legacy QCS systems is often being stretched from fifteen to twenty years, or even longer. Data from Fisher International show that there are about 1200 systems fifteen years or older still operating worldwide and almost one third of the total installed base is between 15 and 20 years old. Isn't that a little long in the tooth for a high-technology product?http://www.risi.com/blogs/Is-your-QCS-past-its-best-before-date.html?source=rssMon, 16 Jan 2012 00:00:00 -0500http://www.risi.com/blogs/Asian-capacity-expansions-for-paperboard-packaging.html?source=rss The aggressive capacity expansion that has taken place over the last 10 years in Asia for both containerboard and boxboard has raised many questions and concerns, especially in the case of China. Previously we looked into the historical capacity data, and employed both macro- and micro-level factors to explain the dramatic increases in capacity in Asia to provide some explanation as well as an outlook on Asian capacity expansion over 2012-2013. http://www.risi.com/blogs/Asian-capacity-expansions-for-paperboard-packaging.html?source=rssMon, 9 Jan 2012 00:00:00 -0500
