SHEET BREAK DETECTION SYSTEMS ARE NOW A CRITICAL PART OF THE SMART FACTORY, 19PaperCon

The “fourth industrial revolution,” (referred to as “Industry 4.0”) is becoming a reality in manufacturing worldwide and paper manufacturing is no exception.  Up until now, detecting paper breaks has been accomplished by stand-alone sensors, photo-eyes and cameras, with the simple function of detecting the absence of the sheet.  Today, sheet break detection systems are smarter due to networking capabilities. They provide valuable and instantaneous information from sheet break trends to equipment and maintenance from the mill floor to mill management.  It is projected that within two years, 50 billion devices will be connected to the internet and a large percentage of these will be part of the manufacturing process.  Smarter systems equipped with Ethernet and networking technologies can provide real-time information. With the ability to act upon this information more quickly, sheet break failures caused from heat, debris, web strikes, mounting failures and more, may become a thing of the past.
