About The Customer
Mondi Packaging Paper Štětí a.s. is one of the world’s leading producers of industrial packaging and paper materials. The company operates a large production plant in the Czech Republic, which receives 1000 tons of timber daily and produces 1,500 tons of pulp and paper each day. The plant, which is the largest ICONICS Web application in Europe, has over 100 buildings and employs over 1000 people. The company is known for its commitment to innovation and efficiency, and it is always looking for ways to improve its operations and reduce its environmental impact.
The Challenge
Mondi Packaging Paper Štětí a.s. is a leading producer of industrial packaging and paper materials. The company operates a large production plant in the Czech Republic, which receives 1000 tons of timber daily and produces 1,500 tons of pulp and paper each day. The plant, which is the largest ICONICS Web application in Europe, has over 100 buildings and employs over 1000 people. The company needed a robust and efficient system to handle the enormous amount of data generated by the plant and to provide real-time visualization of the plant’s operations.
The Solution
The company implemented the Technological Information System (TIS), which uses ICONICS software, including GENESIS32™, AlarmWorX™32, TrendWorX™32, GraphWorX™32, DataWorX™32 and WebHMI™ software. The system was implemented by KONTRON CZECH, a provider of industrial automation software solutions in the Czech Republic. The TIS uses many different types of OPC servers to integrate and process real-time data from all segments of the production facility. It employs 20 full ICONICS GENESIS32 systems with 150 graphic screens for real-time HMI visualization of the plant’s operations. An ICONICS WebHMI server provides HMI displays to more than 50 client computers running Microsoft Internet Explorer, enabling production, maintenance and management personnel to view real-time OPC data from Web browser stations throughout the facility.

Case Study
Wireless Improves Efficiency in Compressed Air Systems
Hollingsworth and Vose wanted to improve the efficiency of their compressed air system, lower the electricity expense component of manufacturing cost in their commodity industry, and conserve energy leading to lowered greenhouse gas emissions. Compressed air systems degrade over time and become leaky and inefficient. Hollingsworth and Vose wanted to increase the frequency of system inspections without paying the high cost of manual labor.

Process Predictive Analysis in Pulp and Paper Mill
Common paper breaks consequently lead up to 60 minutes of downtime, delaying a potential $10K per hour of production value process. Thus, defective products cause financial and damage company's reputation. Improving quality and reducing defect rates can generate millions of dollars of revenue per year for your company.
Case Study
Industrial Video Monitoring for Security and Regulatory Compliance
Because of the Stevenson mill’s proximity to the Tennessee River, WestRock was required by the USCG to comply with the Maritime Security 33CFR (MARSEC) regulations. WestRock needed a video security system but wanted to add other applications not required by the government, such as video process monitoring, condition monitoring, and wireless network management. WestRock needed a reliable video solution to avoid the compliance fines and possible security risks – but the solution needed to be implemented in the most cost-effective manner possible.
Case Study
ECOsine Active Increased Reliability in the Paper Industry
The paper and pulp industry is interlinking intelligent hi-tech machines to highly efficient production lines. Higher power DC and AC motor drives perform the automation tasks. Every kind of interference that negatively affects the reliability and safety of the installation may lead to production downtime and consequently to significant financial losses. AC and DC motor drives are so-called non-linear loads as they draw a nonsinusoidal current from the grid. Resulting harmonics of current and voltage can interfere with the operation of nearby consumers and overload the electrical infrastructure. In this particular application, the load cycles of the drives often caused interruptions in the production process because of disturbances coupling into the fieldbus system.
