Case Study: Kuantum Papers achieves mill-wide operational optimization with dataPARC

Kuantum Papers LTD reduces pulp brightness variability by 70% with dataPARC

Kuantum Papers LTD faced challenges with real-time data sharing across their plant, needing to integrate over 14 different data sources into a single platform. They sought to build dashboards for major KPIs and create a shared operational understanding from the shop floor to leadership. To address this, they implemented the dataPARC solution, including PARCview and dataPARC Historian.

The solution from dataPARC integrated over 35,000 tags into a unified platform, enabling real-time monitoring and centerlining to stabilize processes. This foundation allowed for the integration of AI and Advanced Process Control tools, leading to significant results. dataPARC helped Kuantum achieve a 40% reduction in ClO2 variation and a 70% reduction in pulp brightness variability, while also improving boiler efficiency and fostering a cultural shift towards data-driven decision making.
