Quality tracking for papermaking and converting

TestCentral tracks production quality — reel by reel, set by set and roll by roll. This quality tracking solution consolidates test and scanner measurement profiles.

QCS with scalability

Legacy quality control systems, scanners, sensors and components become unsupportable over time.

PantherQCS solutions include advanced feed-forward machine-direction control with virtual basis weight, multi-variable moisture control and automatic grade change. Our QuickChange technology responds automatically to sheet breaks and helps paper machines recover within one machine dead-time period.

PantherQCS is scalable, so you don’t have to make all of your upgrades at one time. Add cross-direction and other controls over time. Mills and plants can have exceptional quality measurement and automatic control with long life and low cost of ownership.

Visualize data for process analysis

Capture data from sources such as continuous process variables, scanner quality profiles, discrete lab test data and events which occur at different times during production. ProcessAnalyzer retrieves data from QCS, MES, DCS and other databases, then trends it graphically on a contiguous timeline in 2D and 3D, so you can quickly identify cause and effect of production quality issues.
