In the field of autonomous paper mills, Voith has already established its strong position in recent years and has set the course for a digitalized and connected future of paper production. Now, the technology provider takes the next step towards the automated paper mill and launches the dynamic ecosystem MillOne, a market-leading full-line supplier for a completely autonomous paper mill.
The new platform combines all relevant systems, optimizes processes in real time and enables the intelligent connection of all production steps. With MillOne, Voith creates the basis for a more efficient, more sustainable, and more economical paper production – and takes another big step towards its future-oriented vision of the autonomous paper mill.
Watch: In Pursuit of Lesser Water Footprint
Talking about the new innovation, Ulf Grohmann, Director Product Management Automation at Voith Paper, said ”MillOne is much more than just an ordinary platform – it displays the entire digital environment of a paper mill and with that the entire schedule, from start to finish of a shift.”
MillOne offers unprecedented integration and consistency in terms of data usage and utilization. All relevant operational data is aggregated collectively and evaluated. This helps avoid unplanned downtime and optimizes resource consumption. Thanks to continuous synchronization, data maintenance only needs to be carried out once. This makes data utilization more efficient, significantly more transparent, and more user-friendly.
Moreover, with the intelligent use of AI, and the options of remote access and productive data evaluation allow MillOne for unmanned shifts and relieve the workforce. In addition, MillOne opens up the possibility of data-driven processes and multimodal interaction model. It is a practical tool for collaboration, knowledge transfer, and training. MillOne thus becomes a catalyst for future-oriented, automated production in which man and machine work together perfectly.
