GoalOptimize ASA Sizing Performance and Reduce Size Usage with OPTIX Applied Intelligence

<h5>Improvement Opportunity</h5> <p>Recycled packaging manufacturer had historical problems with size masking and lost production. Unpredictability of these events lead to elevated ASA usage with operations rarely adjusting size dosage.</p> <h5>Recommended Solution</h5> <p>Solenis recommended OPTIX Applied Intelligence, a multi-faceted predictive analytics package that includes real time Advanced Process Control (APC) tools. OPTIX autonomous control optimizes ASA usage and APC monitors key KPI&rsquo;s, provides Root Cause Analysis, aids in process troubleshooting and dosage response.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <h5>Results Achieved</h5> <p>Mill operations acknowledged improved quality target adherence and process control while in autonomous operation. Real time root cause analysis and value capture reporting aided in fine tuning OPTIX predictions. Management&rsquo;s confidence in OPTIX allowed mill to lower dosage guardrails to further savings potential.</p> <p><img style="max-width: 100%; width: auto; height: auto; display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="/link/9de2282b3e704ca7bb58a8c1bc5074fa.aspx" alt="" width="2010" height="695" /></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><img style="max-width: 100%; width: auto; height: auto; display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="/link/877700ad2c6749f6850937c701efa855.aspx" alt="" width="1549" height="770" /></p> <p><img style="max-width: 35%; width: auto; height: auto; display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="/link/33233cc534b84866b47926df92a078c4.aspx" alt="" width="674" height="910" /></p>
