System for monitoring the operating speed of finishing machinery

The system monitors the operation of finishing machinery in real-time (sheet cutters, slitters, rewinders, calender…) and records the operating speed, machine status and events (standstills). Thereby it enables the production managers a straightforward insight into the efficiency of operation of machinery and lines, as well as analyses based on reports and logged data. The monitored data includes:

• Speed recording,
• Changing of parent rolls,
• Ejection of rolls,
• Format changes,
• Out of work,
• Breaking,
• Machine defect,
• New pallet,
• …

Optimal control system for a turbo-generator

The automatic control system for a turbo-generator provides for optimal use of energy (electrical energy, heat, gas, steam...) and is designed for optimal efficiency of steam use according to the steam load in production and the costs of electrical energy.

Automated coating kitchen

The system records data on automatic preparation of batches in the coating kitchen according to the selected recipes; simultaneously in two dispergators, including the dosing of required quantities.

The system enables:

• recipe system set-up,
• using both dispergators for the same target vessel,
• entering the recipe taking into the account the technology limitations,
• a security scheme (the technologist can define the recipes and the operator can only change the current recipe...),
• running the recipes with stops (continue, terminate, manual),
• logging of all process events,
• spherical discharging system,
• running the system according to the following system – the first free dispergator according to the minimum level priority inside the target vessel,
• the batch number is assigned automatically,
• display of reports and current recipe status,
• display of dispergator phases,
• display of actual and required quantity,
• display of raw material use by recipes, machines, time...
• display of batches by days,
• user logging,
• access to the recipe system from two remote stations.

Monitoring system for operation of a paper machine

The paper machine operation monitoring system (tender’s log) includes:

• logging of all events on the paper machine,
• monitoring of work equipment use on the machine (squeegees, ropes) by operating hours,
• logging of stillstands and equipment changes,
• logging of paper quality for each parent roll,
• logging of operating hours for individual machine units,
• traceability of paper machine operation.

Monitoring and control system for roll packaging

The system covers multiple technological operations from parent rolls to packaged final rolls:

• planning and optimisation of cutting parent rolls into rolls,
• job order based control of cutting,
• tracking and designation of parent rolls and rolls to ensure traceability,
• monitoring and control of internal transport of rolls,
• monitoring and control of roll packaging,
• designation of final rolls for the customer,
• monitoring the processing of damaged rolls,
• printing of labels,
• connection to the business information system for exchange of data on job orders and manufactured rolls.

Monitoring and control system for a filler carbonate line

Coating kitchen control system upgrade, used to monitor and control the transport and dosing of filler carbonate.

Monitoring and control system for a starch line

The system enables automated operation of lines for preparation and dosing of enzymatic and cationic starch in a coating kitchen. Reliable operation and accurate control guarantees constant quality and a higher speed of the paper machine. The logging of technological events and parameters provides for an accurate analysis of line’s operation and is of great help in designing further improvements.

Monitoring and control system for a talc line

The upgraded talc line control system enables centralised control from the coating kitchen and better supervision of operation, as well as releases some load from production workers.

Slurry production line for the paper industry

An automated line for adding dry CaCO3 to water (slurry) enables the paper industry to manufacture the right product in desired quantities.
