S-Node increases productivity and reduces downtime in the pulp and paper sector by identifying equipment problems early by using vibration analysis and IoT data collection. Lowering trash production, energy use, and the environmental impact of maintenance helps achieve sustainability goals.
The paper and pulp industry is a sector of the manufacturing industry that is focused on the production of various paper products and pulp. Pulp is a fibrous material that is typically made from wood but can also be produced from other materials such as recycled paper or agricultural residues. Paper products are produced by pressing and drying the pulp to form thin sheets of paper that can be used for a variety of purposes.
The paper and pulp industry is a global industry that has a significant impact on the economy as well as on the environment.
Rotating equipment ( chipper, crusher, pulp mill, booster fan, soda recovery boiler, thermal roll, dryer felt roll) are key component in the paper and pulp industry, as it is used in various stages of the production process, from the preparation of raw materials to the final finishing of the product. It is crucial to maintain equipment's health to reduce downtime and incline productivity. S-Node detects a variety of characteristics including triaxial vibration, 6D motion, RPM, proximity, and acoustic.
These variables could be used to track the functionality of this equipment and alert users to any possible issues (Such as misalignment, unbalance, bearing faults, and more ). By using the S-Node CMMS dashboard, the S-Node device gives real-time data to the machine operator. Operators may be able to find and fix equipment problems more quickly with the help of the data. S-Node can reduce downtime in the paper and pulp industry and increase productivity & safety.
