Web Monitoring System

ABB's Web Monitoring System (WMS) is an innovative digital imaging system for optimizing process and machine performance. It effectively helps to troubleshoot operational issues, reduce cost, increase efficiency, and improve product quality. Not only does it provide papermakers with insight into their fast moving process, it also turns imaging data into actionable process intelligence for improved quality and process control.

ABB’s WMS is a digital imaging system for:

  • Optimizing process and machine performance
  • Managing sheet disturbances
  • Enhancing operator best practices 

The system helps operators to effectively troubleshoot operational issues, reduce cost, increase machine efficiency, and improve product quality. Further, not only providing operators with insight into their fast moving process, it also turn the imaging data into actionable process intelligence for use in quality and process control strategies. Image derived data provides the latest advancement in critical measurements that help drive the paper machine and operation to peak performance.

PLEASE NOTE: ABB is ending the active sale of both the Web Imaging System (WIS) and Web Monitoring System (WMS). ABB is fully committed to support the existing systems in line with our full lifecycle policy. If you have questions, please contact us ABB Pulp and Paper
