Elevating Paper Quality and Production Efficiency with Enhanced Machine Direction Controls, TAPPICon24

This paper discusses a new machine direction (MD) control package, MD Optimizer. Paper and board industry are going through a change of generation, whilst mills are becoming more intelligent and autonomous. The new MD control package offers flexibility in connecting various variables, simplifying the process of linking manipulable and disturbance variables to controlled variables, and enabling real-time adjustments and optimizations. Moreover, traditional machine direction controls and advanced process controls (APC) can be integrated into a unified platform. This integration streamlines the management of the entire paper machine process, allowing for a holistic approach to control. The main advantage of using this modern control solution is the simplified commissioning phase and more accurate process modeling capabilities.
