All applications in one place The lack of skilled workers, higher demands on sustainability, and rising production costs: for years, the paper industry has been facing growing challenges. MillOne takes all areas into account and enables holistic, data-driven automation. This makes the solution unique on the market. All digital applications and production data are bundled in one place. The new environment offers great advantages for operators and allows an entirely new, constructive way of working with data. All information necessary to navigate and organise production is available in real time on a dashboard and can be discussed immediately or used to initiate interventions if needed. This way, a single team of operators can control several machines. At the same time, the system keeps track of everything and draws its own conclusions intelligently. Thanks to these close links between all applications, potential sources for error can be identified early in pre-analyses and eliminated. “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,” says Ulf Grohmann, Director Product Management Automation at Voith Paper, proudly. Data-driven operations MillOne offers unprecedented integration and consistency in terms of data usage and utilisation. All relevant operational data is aggregated collectively and evaluated. This helps avoid unplanned downtime and optimises resource consumption. Thanks to continuous synchronisation, data maintenance only needs to be carried out once, meaning that all digital applications can access up-to-date data at any time. This makes data utilisation more efficient, significantly more transparent, and more user-friendly. Higher efficiency and productivity With the intelligent use of AI, MillOne marks a significant increase in efficiency and productivity in paper production. The options of remote access and productive data evaluation allow for unmanned shifts and relieve the workforce. In addition, MillOne opens up the possibility of data-driven processes and multimodal interaction models that introduce, for example, augmented reality (AR) – 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.
