Glatfelter: Everyone Benefits when everyone is involved.

•“Simply put, the more people that contribute to our PI system, the better the intelligence we get from it. The different perspectives allow us to collectively mine more information from the data.” 

•Steve Groetz, Process Automation Manager.

Customer Business Challenge

Solution Customer Results / Benefits

• Finite engineering workforce exercising a broad range of disciplines.

• Limited capitol resources: “making do with what we have”

• Wealth of mill wide process data in PI not being effectively interrogated.

• Create an initiative to generate individual motivation beyond the engineering department to the entire workforce exploiting PI data with goals of improving visibility, reducing time, increasing quality, and reducing costs.

• ProcessBook & DataLink projects were received from 6sigma black belts, lab techs, and process engineers.

• Projects were essential to prove a business case, provide real-time process information, and compare current runs to QC standards.

• On project continues to verify and maintain quarterly savings of over $100k.

Averaged PI Data

Averaged PI Data

Problem: QC and Mfg wanted to compare real time scanner data against lab test results as soon as possible

Solution: Use ODBC data sets in ProcessBook to access MES system and display lab data and control limits against real time measurements

Result: Ability to make control decisions and correct problems in real time. Minimize waste and rework

Problem: Many grade variations with variable property setpoints hard to document and display

Solution: Collect actual properties per run and display so operator can easily compare current to previous runs

Result: Visualization of data from prior runs enables operators to quickly and easily see if they are on track for the specific grade and make adjustments in real time.
