ActivityVision

One of the main advantages of fourdrinier machines is the ability to visually monitor the sheet forming process. Key visual indicators (KVI) allow papermakers to quickly identify process upsets and adjust sheet quality before it gets to the reel. With ActivityVision, cameras track the stock activity on the table, and an image analysis software assigns an activity index to dewatering elements. This provides a real-time profile of stock activity along the initial forming zone.

• Continuous measurement of stock activity along the initial forming zone in real time.
• Categorization of stock activity according to intensity.
• Stock activity profile of the initial forming zone in real time.
• Both live and historical trends are included.
• Table optimization via remote service possible.
