Paper is a complex product, and the business of making paper is a very demanding one.  Starting from a natural raw material – trees – the papermaking process requires sophisticated controls from start to finish to ensure the final product quality matches the end users’ requirements.  The business demands this be done in the most economical fashion and that production matches the market’s demands. 

Each step of the process contributes in some way to the final properties of the paper sheet and therefore all need to be controled by an integrated system. Honeywell offers process control, quality optimization, and business optimization solutions throughout the pulp & paper mill to help you get the most from your investment.

• Only Honeywell integrates field equipment and data, as well as distributed control systems, quality control systems and advanced process control with manufacturing execution systems and enterprise resource planning to help efficiently and effectively manage every aspect of the operation. Honeywell's OpitVision  consolidates process intelligence into a real-time system to help better manage enterprise information and performance analytics to support decision making.
• Profitable papermaking means continuous production with minimal deviations from quality specifications. While steady-state control performance is essential, the elimination of waste during transitions such as grade changes and break recoveries is where the greatest economic gains can be achieved. As production rates rise, often stretching the design capacity of the paper machine, Honeywell's Quality Control System (QCS) will allow you to improve production efficiency and quality. The QCS is fully integrated with Honeywell’s Experion® Process Knowledge System (PKS), and offers fast scanning and processing speeds, superior measurement technology, high resolution cross-direction profile control with a full offering of intelligent actuators, and the industry's most comprehensive suite of quality control applications.
