Asset management involves taking an inventory of all devices, components and available systems of your paper machine. Efficient asset management also provides an overview of the software history with all individual installations, remote and updated programs and applications. This means you always have an up-to-date overview.
Extended control and planning of maintenance processes and materials
OnCare.Asset offers optimized management of your paper machine and its processes through advanced systems and solutions. Maintenance activities and replacement requirements can be predicted, conveniently planned and efficiently carried out. This makes maintenance faster, safer and more cost efficient.
Machine uptime and productivity are increased to a great benefit for the manufacturer. Additionally, machine and process transparency are provided to allow the producer higher control over production. Improved and extended services are offered to provide expert remote and on-site services at all times and to great effectiveness.
Improving maintenance service and support
OnCare.Asset for paper makers offers a software solution to enable transparent maintenance and material stock management across the paper mill. With mobile functionalities and existing interfaces, OnCare.Asset Paper can be combined with OnCare.Health Paper to pave the way to predictive maintenance.
Thanks to the software, maintenance activities can be coordinated, managed and controlled. Team efforts can be displayed in parallel in a work order to achieve optimal planning and scheduling. Critical information on all your paper machine assets can be easily displayed via a graphical navigation. The results of your maintenance performance can be shown adapted to your individual needs in a KPI overview. Service experts can support you face to face or remotely at all stages.
OnCare.Mex (Maintenance Excellence) is a smart service module that is a new form of training, organizing maintenance and support activities. This module supports implementing best practices for shutdown, as well as non-shutdown planning and scheduling.
The pmPortal makes inventory management of your paper machine simpler and more efficient.
Retrieve all the data you need in one tool and keep an overall view. Manage all consumables and rolls centrally – for the simple and easy coordination of your preventative maintenance measures.
With SmartBasket, Voith introduces a game-changing solution for asset and lifecycle management. Voith screen baskets are the first to be equipped with RFID, giving you complete control of all your baskets, at all times, across all your mills worldwide. Smart technology creates transparency, reduces inventories and costs. Voith turns screen baskets into SmartBaskets, making your work noticeably easier.
By continuously measuring data, we record the condition of your paper machine. Based on sensor data, which are analyzed in real time, a reliable and very fast response is guaranteed. Machine and plant downtimes can be minimized by stopping the paper machine only at desired times according to plan and restarting it smoothly. This scheduled downtime can be used for maintenance and repair work.
Designed for optimum operability and the future of paper production
DuoShake DG enhances the physical production process by exploiting the options offered by digitalization and the use of smart data. The product update has many new features such as real-time data monitoring, including remote monitoring via mobile devices, condition-based maintenance, trend analyses and a cloud connection.
OnCare.Health, our efficient maintenance tool, registers the condition of the roller bearings of your paper machine via installed or mobile data acquisition units. The data gathered are monitored with a monitoring system. In case of any irregularity, the cause is automatically identified and suitable condition-based maintenance measures are initiated. This preventive maintenance therefore helps avoid breakdowns and ensures maximum availability of your paper machine.
Whether planning your infrastructure or informing stakeholders, benefit from greater transparency, efficiency and safety throughout the entire life cycle of your paper machine. You can also train your employees with this technology. They will be perfectly prepared for operation and maintenance of the system even before startup, thus guaranteeing the highest availability.
In the Voith Paper Webshop, you can quickly and easily purchase Voith products and services around the clock, worldwide. The possibilities of the online platform are not limited to purchasing alone. As a registered user, you can view all the information on your system – from the original delivery to the order history to the operating manual.
Our Remote Service Center helps you to increase the efficiency and availability of your system. To this end, process and machine data are continuously analyzed using data mining methods and artificial intelligence supplemented by technology and automation expertise. In combination with the industry-specific paper know-how of Voith experts, potential for improvement is then identified and tapped.
By bringing quality within target range while simultaneously reducing operating costs, the Papermaking 4.0 portfolio can optimize efficiency throughout the production process. And it has never been easier to implement. While building a virtual sensor used to be a data science project, now, anyone can do it with just a few mouse clicks. In addition, Voith offers digital services that help you reduce operating costs.

Automation
OnControl.FieldInstruments
Field instruments such as valves and sensors are an essential part of any plant and are decisive for the optimal functioning of the production plant. Our proven OnControl.FieldInstruments are tailored to applications in the paper industry. We offer a completely integrated and standardized field instruments package, which means you benefit from simplified order processing and reduced spare parts inventory. In addition to reliable and punctual deliveries, you can also count on high product quality and reduced interfaces.
We provide comprehensive automation solutions for the pulp and paper industry worldwide. The core of the automation systems is the OnQuality Quality Control System (QCS). This reliable system is an intelligent and integrated concept that enables manufacturers to control and optimize production processes and product quality. This increases productivity and at the same time reduces operating and maintenance costs.
OnQuality.Sensors are compact, robust and equipped with state-of-the-art technology. This includes an intelligent sensor and extensive diagnostic functions. In addition, easy access for maintenance purposes and system expansion is provided. The interfaces are user-friendly. All sensors feature the new processor card with powerful signal processing and standardized communication.
All OnQuality.Scanners are developed and manufactured by experienced engineers thus guaranteeing high-quality products. The robust design with an integrated, stable measuring platform enables operation in the demanding environment of a paper mill. The high traversing speed of the scanners in combination with the fast signal processing delivers high-resolution profiles.
In paper production, the quality of the paper produced is highly dependent on the cross-profile of the product. As in many other manufacturing industries, the more uniform the better. In order to achieve optimum CD profile and thus good profile accuracy, Voith has developed the actuators of the OnQuality product family. They convince with their accuracy, even under the most demanding conditions, and are characterized by high-precision positioning.
