Sustainable Development of the Pulp and Paper Industry

A Global Benchmark in End-to-End Process Automation and Paper Machine Control

ABB is one of the world’s leaders in pulp and paper automation. Its ABB Ability™ System 800xA control system is widely applied in pulp digesting, bleaching, refining, and paper production lines. At UPM’s paper mill in Finland, ABB delivered a comprehensive process automation system that integrates Quality Control System (QCS) and Distributed Control System (DCS) functionalities to manage every stage — from stock preparation and paper machine operation to coating and winding. As a result, the mill achieved a 30% improvement in basis weight control accuracy and reduced steam consumption by 10%.

Moreover, ABB’s Ability™ Manufacturing Execution System (MES) supports digital production scheduling and inventory management, enhancing operational transparency and overall production efficiency.

Smart Energy and Digital Factories Driving Green Papermaking

Schneider Electric enables green and efficient papermaking through its EcoStruxure™ for Pulp & Paper platform, which integrates electrical distribution, automation, and energy management. In a large tissue paper factory in China, Schneider implemented an EcoStruxure Energy Management System that provides centralized monitoring of high-voltage switchgear, variable speed drives, and steam boilers. The system’s real-time energy analytics helped the plant reduce energy consumption by 8% and significantly decrease unplanned downtime.

Siemens, meanwhile, supports digital transformation in paper production through its SIMATIC PCS 7 control system and SIPAPER solutions, covering everything from pulp preparation to final roll handling. At Stora Enso’s paper mill in Germany, Siemens’ SIPAPER automation system dynamically optimized paper machine parameters, increasing line speed by 12% while maintaining consistent quality. Siemens’ MindSphere Industrial IoT platform also enables remote operations, predictive maintenance, and energy performance analysis — helping paper manufacturers transition toward fully digitalized and data-driven factories.

Condition Monitoring and Predictive Maintenance for Reliable Operations

Bently Nevada is a global leader in condition monitoring for rotating machinery in pulp and paper plants, where critical assets such as press rolls, vacuum pumps, and turbine drives require high reliability. For instance, at Asia Pulp & Paper (APP) in Indonesia, Bently Nevada’s 3500 Series Vibration Monitoring System continuously tracks the performance of rotating equipment. Combined with the System 1™ Condition Monitoring Platform, engineers can perform trend analysis and receive intelligent alerts for early detection of bearing wear, imbalance, and mechanical faults.

This predictive approach reduced unplanned downtime by 40%, lowered maintenance costs, and improved overall plant safety. The integration of Bently Nevada’s monitoring data with plant DCS systems also enables maintenance teams to make informed, data-driven decisions.
