Plant-wide Optimization Solutions
The ultimate goal of any overall optimization is to reach target values for key product properties with the lowest possible production cost, and this is what Metris Mill-wide Optimization does best:
Mill-wide production rate and Inventory management
Production is measured as accurately as possible from multiple points, starting from the exact dry wood mass flow to the digester. This will make it possible to control processes much more accurately and to avoid production upsets caused by poor measurements.
Quality controls and Cost Optimization
When unit processes are optimized, we can use process tests and analytical tools to find optimum production targets for the whole mill. It also needs to consider raw materials, requirements for different grades, production limitations, energy and chemical costs. With this iterative search, the overall strategy will be customized for the mill.
