With the Prod-IQ® control technology, Siempelkamp provides plant operators with a digital system that draws valuable resources from plant data.
“The greatest possible increase in efficiency and effectiveness is one of the main concerns that Siempelkamp customers want to be assured of for their plants. With the Prod-IQ® control technology, we have created an intelligent system that combines the current megatrends of digitization and sustainable production - indispensable for plant operators who want to distinguish themselves as trendsetters in the market," says Gregor Bernardy,
The Turkish wood-based materials manufacturer Orma recently decided in favor of the 40th Prod-IQ.quality control system, which has meanwhile been successfully put into operation in a chipboard plant at the Isparta site. Pavatex also integrates the system into a new system at the Golbey/France location, after an existing system at the same location has already been equipped with Prod-IQ.quality.
The software determines the product quality based on current process settings as soon as the board leaves the press. A trend chart visualizes the results. In addition, the software calculates the minimum quality reserve required to ensure compliance with the quality criteria. Since the fluctuation range can be clearly defined, the production of the plant runs close to the optimum. This increases productivity while maintaining quality and models production processes with maximum efficiency because there are no additional safety reserves. Transverse tensile and flexural strength, density, thickness swelling and lifting strength can be precisely predicted online. Designed according to the machine learning principle, Prod-IQ.quality uses every laboratory control to adapt the process model.
The web-based Prod-IQ® dashboard platform is currently being developed, which focuses on being able to easily compare complex system structures and also several systems of a customer - from any location on any device, access-protected. Global plant operators can access all production sites with one system and can compare all plants at a glance via the web-based platform.
Siempelkamp is a system supplier of press lines and complete plants for the wood-based panel industry, metal forming, and the composites and rubber industries.
