INDUSTRIAL AUTOMATION
Paper & Board
Papermaking operations are among the world’s most demanding automation applications due to the speed and complexity of the processes, along with rigorous quality requirements. They also require state-of-the-art measurement and control solutions, operating continuously at peak performance, to deliver consistently on-specification production. Honeywell, a recognized leader in Operational Technology (OT) for many process and sheet manufacturing industries, provides a broad portfolio of process measurement and control solutions, including tightly integrated on-pre[1]mise automation and cloud-based solutions, to help customers take a holistic approach to pro[1]cesses throughout their operations.
Our approach enables you achieve profitability sooner by deploying quality control system (QCS) solutions with robust cross direction (CD) and machine direction (MD) controls that enable high-speed operations to maintain tight tolerances and reduce raw material waste. Implement multivariable predictive control (MPC) packages and automated grade change software to shorten transition times between different products, reduce rejection rates and keep pace with fast order cycles.
Is Your Papermaking Operation Optimized for Today’s Workforce?
Experion® MX solutions with robust cross direction (CD) and machine direction (MD) controls enable high-speed operations to maintain tight tolerances and reduce raw material waste. Our solutions provide superior visibility into the process while simplifying operational efforts and reducing maintenance and service costs.
Are You Satisfied With Your Paper Machine Production, Quality and Yield?
Honeywell’s Quality Control System (QCS) 4.0 solution can digitize your process for higher quality and optimal performance. With over 50 years of experience in measurement and control of flat sheet manufacturing processes, and hundreds of patents, Honeywell is uniquely positioned to extend the value its quality control systems deliver to customers.
Do You Have Visibility and Control Across Your Value Chain?
OptiVision® boosts profitability at every stage of the order-to-invoice cycle to transform pulp and paper operations for better business results. Optimizing manpower, assets, materials, logistics and capital, it gives users the competitive edge to succeed. Advanced optimization models and logical algorithms hardened over 30 years of experience help businesses achieve excellence at every stage of order fulfillment value chain.
Are You Able to Reduce CD Variation of the Paper Web Efficiently?
Our CD Actuator Systems are custom-designed for each application, while the supervisory controls employ the latest in multivariable control technology. We offer both custom CD Actuator System hardware and interface and advanced software control components as part of the Experion® MX system. Users benefit from improved paper quality, low raw material and energy consumption and high productivity.
Is Your Control System Ready for the Future?
Reduce risk, eliminate downtime and increase yields with a modern quality control system (QCS) platform. We provide the migration solution you need for a cost-effective, continuous evolution path from your existing QCS and camera-based systems to the latest measurement and system technology, software and control applications.
Looking to Simplify Control System Design, Implementation and Lifecycle Management While Reducing Cost?
Market-first solution uniquely decouples the assignment of input/output (I/O) modules and control strategies from specific controllers, and leverages IT capabilities in customers’ own data centers.
