The Quality Control System (QCS)
serves many purposes since it is providing continuous measurement of the product in real-time. Data from the QCS scanning sensors is processed to support the following functions:

• Management and process information reporting
  • Honeywell’s Da Vinci™ system provides a wide range of advanced reports that are available for immediate use to document machine production and paper quality. These reports provide rapid feedback to engineering and operations.
  • The Quality Companion provides long-term data storage and analysis with the ability to save individual scan profiles for long periods of time. The Quality Companion is a very cost-effective solution to meeting the unique requirements of storing QCS data and supplements the storage capabilities of Honeywell’s Uniformance^® system and other mill-wide data systems.
  • Honeywell’s OptiVISION^® system provides comprehensive business optimization solutions from order entry through warehousing, shipping, and invoicing. Da Vinci process and quality data is integrated into the OptiVISION functions for advanced product tracking.
  • Network Integration: It goes without saying that the Honeywell Da Vinci system is able to support the data requirements of other mill-wide and business systems with network OPC connectivity. The Da Vinci system also includes capabilities to extract high-resolution profile data from many legacy Honeywell and competitive systems, making it an ideal gateway for all quality data within the mill.
• On-line data Analysis within the Da Vinci system includes color maps, statistical analysis, frequency analysis, and other tools to help monitor and troubleshoot the paper machine. These tools are on-line functions that provide immediate data to production and engineering.
• Supervisory Control functions receive the data from the scanning measurements and then control the process to optimize these properties of the sheet.
