Beyond the Clipboard: Elevating QCS Service, TAPPICon24

The Quality Control System (QCS) plays a key role in modern papermaking processes, serving the crucial functions of measurement and control from the headbox to the reel. To accomplish this the QCS coordinates a variety of equipment, all of which require complex and labor-intensive preventative maintenance to stay in peak operating condition.

The traditional “clipboard” approach to QCS preventative maintenance has limitations in timeliness and efficiency. Diagnostic information must be recorded and reviewed by qualified personnel, and due to the quantity of information available, this typically happens only on a weekly basis. Integration of operational and information technology (OT/IT) allows this same data to be continuously collected and made available to servicing personnel remotely via a cloud environment, rather than requiring them to seek it on-site.

TAPPI conference proceedings and presentations, technical papers, and publication articles provide technical and management data and solutions on topics covering the Pulp, Paper, Tissue, Corrugated Packaging, Flexible Packaging, Nanotechnology and Converting Industries.
