Augmenting Papermakers’ Expertise with AI, 23TAPPICon

Every process expert’s time is limited, and their expertise should always be utilized to solve the most important issues at any given moment. The enormous amount of data generated from the production process makes it impossible for any human to follow all the recent developments and changes in the process. However, developments in computational technologies allows us to harness computers to create information and real-time insights from the abundance of data. This enables process experts to identify, prioritize, and focus on emerging deviations.

In this paper we will investigate and compare the conditions where automated model building creates the most value in papermaking. Along with direct control, monitoring devices, and subject matter experts’ knowledge, AI allows mill engineers to use their time more intentionally and steers attention to emerging issues even before production disturbances occur.
