📋 Tender Overview
Recently UPM has awarded Voith to supply its Quality Control System QCS OnQuality of scanners and sensors to the companys PM 6 in Schongau Germany. The new system will stabilize and optimize product quality and the overall production process. At the same time it will increase the mills productivity and reduce operating and maintenance costs. UPM the worlds leading producer of graphic papers was especially convinced by the systems strong flexibility its high accuracy and Voiths short delivery and installation times. The installation is scheduled to be completed within the next three months.The order comprises the OnQuality QCS that allows papermakers to meet high paper quality requirements and to achieve an increased operational efficiency. The system ordered will control and optimize important quality parameters including basis weight moisture color and ash content. The smart sensors include comprehensive diagnostic functions and provide easy access for maintenance and system extension. They are compact robust and feature state-of-the-art technology. The scope of delivery to UPM is complemented with a scanner from the OnQuality.Scanners portfolio which ideally complements the sensors. Its high traversing speed combined with fast signal processing provides high-resolution profiles for precise longitudinal and transverse profile control. With the measurements of the OnQuality.Sensors the control of all relevant quality parameters in machine- and cross-direction is enabled.We are happy to partner with UPM to improve the mills overall efficiency and to renew our close and longstanding collaboration.Marc Stampfer Global Product Manager QCS at VoithThe Voith OnQuality QCS is based on the modular and proven automation platform ComCore.
