The first mill implemented dataPARC for its data historian, raw material batch management, quality control, and lab information management. Burriana will expand the functionality to include tissue machine performance scorecards, process centerlining, and statistical analysis. Data and displays from both mills will be visible to corporate management at company headquarters in Barcelona.

In addition to the dataPARC suite, the project scope also includes BTG’s Vigilance PRO for the new PM4 tissue machine starting up in September. Vigilance PRO is the Yankee performance and tissue blade vibration analysis system, built on dataPARC. It is already installed on Kartogroup’s other tissue machine, and the success there was a significant factor in the decision to implement dataPARC enterprise-wide.

This new project confirms the strategic evolution of BTG as a leader in digital transformation in the pulp and paper industry, by providing unique data-driven solutions that differentiate BTG in the market.
