Smarter Mills, Better Decisions: Embedding APC into Asset Performance Management

As paper mills face increasing pressure to optimize performance, reduce variability, and extend asset life, the integration of Advanced Process Controls (APCs) into Asset Performance Management (APM) strategies is becoming a critical enabler of operational excellence.

This technical webinar, "Smarter Mills, Better Decisions: Embedding Advanced Process Controls into Asset Performance Management," will explore how APCs—such as model predictive control, soft sensors, and real-time optimization—can be effectively deployed across key mill areas including digester operations, recovery boilers, paper machines, and bleaching processes.

Attendees will gain insights into how these technologies enhance process stability, improve energy efficiency, and enable predictive maintenance by leveraging high-frequency data and machine learning models. Designed for engineers, operations specialists, technical and continuous improvement managers, this session will provide practical guidance on embedding APCs into existing APM frameworks to drive measurable improvements in throughput, quality, and asset reliability.

Webinar links will be sent by ZOOM.  If you do not receive log on instructions the day before the webinar, please reach out to webinars@tappi.org.
