Paper Mill

Manufacturing  Execution System

Solution implemented and results achieved:

  • The possibility of controlling and supervising an extensive paper production line was introduced,
  • Screens for accessing real-time and archival data directly on paper units were prepared,
  • A detailed insight into the history of each parameter has been designed thanks to the Proficy Historian industrial database,
  • Control of availability of paper units was obtained – by determining OEE indicator.

Benefits for the Customer:

  • Enables the identification of the OEE indicator – availability of units
  • Limits losses between operations
  • Enables clear generation of reports for the selected period with the determination of reasons for downtime
  • Enables a quick response in order to maintain continuity of production when a failure occurs
  • Enables an objective assessment of the quality of the modernizations carried out as well as of the impact of the changes introduced within a unit

Paper factory

Expansion of MES Plant Applications system 

Solution implemented and results achieved:

  • Expansion of the raw material consumption tracking module (folding and rolling processing),
  • Import of production orders and BOMs from the ERP system,
  • Implementation of a mechanism for generating batch numbers and a mechanism for counting downtimes,
  • Expansion of the mechanism scanning bar codes to retrieve information about raw materials (components) used in production.

Benefits for the Customer:

  • The integration of MES Plant Applications with ERP and WMS systems provides extensive capabilities for the analysis of production genealogy – from the paper machine to the machine packing the products into unit packages,
  • The link between a production batch code and a WMS bulk pallet ID ensures precise reporting in case a batch needs to be withdrawn from the market or in case of a complaint,
  • Reduction of the reporting and search time from a few hours to a few minutes, thanks to the new reports.

Producer of paper fillings

Reporting system and maintenance support

Solution implemented and results achieved:

  • New open SCADA and Historian platform provided,
  • Possibility of proactive maintenance,
  • Programmed algorithm analyzing production.

Benefits for the Customer:

  • Detailed information on wear and durability of saws and support for the Maintenance Department,
  • Possibility to analyze the rate of saw blade wear as a function of subsequent sharpening,
  • Greater control of production and machinery thanks to information on cut lengths for each order,
  • Elimination of manual production reporting – integration with PLCs to ensure 100% data integrity and correctness,
  • Access to unambiguous supervisory data for any given period in the form of a report.

Paper Mill

Software audit / Training

Solution implemented and results achieved:

  • Software audit
  • Optimization of server redundancy configuration
  • Optimization and configuration of communication protocols
  • Basic and advanced training for workers

Benefits for the Customer:

  • Increase in system reliability through the optimization of settings
  • Improvement in communication with PLCs, monitoring connection statuses
  • Increasing crew competence in the scope of operating and programming SCADA systems
  • Faster response to failures and unforeseen situations.
