Improved predictability , profitability and quality

Advanced analytics provide good tools to evaluate indicators signaling a need for predictive maintenance , such as temperature and vibration measurements or energy consumption .

A good example of the capabilities of advanced analytics is paper machine web break prediction , where root causes for breaks are analyzed and a prediction model is developed . This enables monitoring the parameters affecting a web break and issuing early warnings so that corrective action can be taken before the break happens .

Another example is paper strength modelling , which allows controlling of raw material parameters so that a specified paper strength is achieved while optimizing the raw material usage from a cost point of view .

Ultimately , data analytics is just one of many methods available to support decision making . Other methods must also be brought into play to enable the analysis of variations and the comparison of different options .

From system-level control to a holistic process approach

Thanks to the accumulating data , it is possible to take a holistic approach and optimize production by evaluating the entire production chain . Industrial internet also enhances asset management and brings value by making both processes and operations more effective .
