ThermoVision
Under the hood view into papermachine process
Technology
- Realtime moisture profiles in any paper machine location
- Dewatering and drying efficiency for energy benchmarking
- Detection of wet streaks
- Realtime detection and classification of wet and dry spots/streaks
- Realtime detection of foreign materials
- Identification of invisible sheet break origins
- Visibility in steamy locations
Versatility
- Can be installed in any paper machine location
- Single LWIR camera can be used for all ThermoVision analyses
- Multi-camera systems are most effective for process troubleshooting and improvements
- Outputs for process monitoring, thresholding, control and AI runnability predictions
Value
- Substantial reduction of paper machine operating cost with savings in energy, better equipment management and higher quality paper with fewer sheet breaks and rejects
- New data for maximizing paper machine performance
- AI for prediction of runnability issues
- Reinvention of papermachine video system functionality
