Sheet Break Prediction with BIG-AI: From Data to Decision-Making

In the dynamic world of paper manufacturing, operational efficiency is a cornerstone of success. Unexpected sheet breaks can disrupt production lines, incur substantial financial losses, and delay deliveries. However, with the integration of advanced prescriptive maintenance technologies like Turilytix’s BIG-AI, the pulp and paper industry is experiencing a transformative shift toward smarter, data-driven decision-making.

The Challenge: Sheet Breaks in Paper Manufacturing

Sheet breaks remain a persistent issue in the pulp & paper manufacturing industry, causing significant production downtime and financial setbacks. Identifying the root causes of these breaks has traditionally been reactive, with solutions implemented only after costly disruptions.

With over seven years of experience in the pulp and paper industry and extensive expertise in artificial intelligence, Dr. Sankar harnessed his knowledge to develop the transformative ‘Sheet Break 4.0 using BIG-AI’ initiative. Specifically customized for the pulp and paper sector, this cutting-edge solution integrates advanced AI technologies with deep industry insights to revolutionize operational efficiency, significantly enhance productivity, minimize paper breaks and downtime.

The BIG-AI Advantage

BIG-AI leverages advanced machine learning, deep learning models, and real-time data analytics to provide actionable insights. With seamless data integration from sensors placed across the production line, BIG-AI processes parameters like temperature, pressure, and machine vibrations to deliver accurate predictions.

Data Collection and Integration

The journey begins with comprehensive data collection. Sensors installed across machinery gather huge amount of real-time data. This data is then funnelled into the BIG-AI platform, where it undergoes processing and analysis.

Predictive Analytics in Action

BIG-AI’s algorithms analyze both historical and real-time data to uncover patterns and correlations that may go unnoticed by human operators. By identifying these indicators early, the system can predict sheet breaks before they occur.

Real-Time Monitoring and Alerts

BIG-AI monitors continuously to detect anomalies instantly. BIG-AI’s real-time alerts notify operators, which minimizes potential risks, enable swift intervention and minimizes the likelihood of production halts.

Informed Decision-Making

The insights provided by BIG-AI empower operators to make quick, data-driven decisions, whether adjusting machine settings or scheduling maintenance, proactive measures become the norm rather than the exception.

Measurable Benefits and ROI

Implementing BIG-AI for sheet break prediction offers tangible benefits, including:

  • Reduced Downtime: Minimized production stoppages through proactive monitoring.
  • Cost Savings: Lower maintenance and operational costs.
  • Improved Efficiency: Enhanced production output and resource utilization.
  • Enhanced Decision-Making: Data-driven insights for strategic operations.
A Success Story: Transforming Paper Manufacturing in Indonesia

BIG-AI solution was implemented in one of the Indonesian paper manufacturing company and achieved an impressive 80% reduction in sheet breaks within 3 months. The resulting cost savings and productivity improvements amounted to $1.32 million, showcasing the profound impact of prescriptive maintenance powered by BIG-AI.
