Paper Industry 4.0

Implement intuitive plant operation, precise process control, and highly reliable plant operation that includes maximum data transparency throughout the production process with the innovative automation and system components from Siemens AG. From intelligent control and machine-level operation and monitoring to cloud computing at the pulp, paper, and tissue machine, our automation portfolio offers the right products for any production digitalization task. All components are fully and seamlessly integrated in the world’s leading automation concept, Totally Integrated Automation (TIA). This shortens your time to market while at the same time boosting the productivity, quality, and efficiency of your processes, machines, and plants so that you can manufacture the sustainable pulp, paper, and tissue products of tomorrow.

From pulpers and paper machines to finishing machines and winders, the right drive makes all the difference in terms of performance, reliability, and energy efficiency. With us, you benefit from optimally coordinated drive components that have been proven through decades of continuous use and can be seamlessly integrated into process control systems and automation. We’re continuously developing and refining our frequency converters, motors, couplings, and gear units both as individual products and as systems in conjunction with other components to achieve even greater efficiency and offer new digital options that permit you to further optimize operation, diagnostics, and maintenance. All this comes with maximum security thanks to Safety Integrated with safety functions integrated in the drive.

To maintain their competitive edge in a global market and in an industry in transition, pulp and paper factories need to manufacture high-quality products while at the same time keeping costs for raw materials, power, and process materials to a minimum. Achieving these goals across the entire process chain requires efficient and intelligent process management. Our leading process control systems make it possible to optimally manage and engineer all the processes in pulp and paper production. They take advantage of proven libraries and modules for optimizations, and offer robust control and dedicated applications – for example, for the cost-effective dosage of chemicals in bleaching processes and for reducing energy consumption in the drying process

Use digital technologies to secure your competitive edge and ensure more efficient processes in pulp, paper, and tissue manufacturing with machines that produce flexibly and intelligently. The right industry software supports you throughout planning, design, and engineering and allows you to already identify and correct potential sources of error during the planning phase by means of digital simulations in automation projects. A digital engineering framework also saves you time and money and shortens your time to market. In operation, cloud-based solutions enable efficient, data-driven monitoring from great distances and even better preventive maintenance. These are only a few of the many possibilities provided by our industry software and digital products. And when it comes to security, we not only help you take advantage of technological progress but also offer comprehensive cybersecurity support.
