PlantWeb solutions are making pulp and paper mills more productive than ever.

In an environment of smaller engineering and maintenance staffs, stricter environmental regulations, permitting restrictions, product diversification and JIT manufacturing requirements -- not to mention the need to run 8 grades in a day on a single machine -- it's getting tougher for mills to compete. You need solutions that can help your staff make better decisions and better use of their time.

With PlantWeb architecture, that's what you get. PlantWeb's predictive intelligence enables you to see what's happening not only in your process but also in the equipment running it -- and use that insight to identify and correct potential problems before they affect your operation.

The benefits are substantial--and proven. PlantWeb has not only helped users realize up to 30% savings in installed costs, but has also helped them operate more efficiently. Our customers are seeing up to 66% improvement in productivity of their maintenance staffs. This means time to focus on uptime, keeping the process available for those just-in-time orders. Customers have also realized at least 2% improvement in overall mill efficiency, with specific process efficiency improvements of 20-30%. That means better output -- and lower costs to operate your mill.

Want proof? Read some of our customers' success stories to see how PlantWeb has helped improve their efficiency.

Caraustar Sprague Paperboard Achieves higher automation levels by replacing DCS with Digital Architecture

There is a big difference between having a millwide distributed control system (DCS) and achieving true automation, and Caraustar Industries Inc. has demonstrated that point during the past two years at its Sprague, Conn., paperboard mill. With minimal outside help, mill personnel gradually replaced a DCS with the PlantWeb digital plant architecture and the DeltaV digital automation system. Results include "one-button" startups and shutdowns, tighter quality control, and a significant increase in human resource productivity.
