This paper proposes a new approach for monitoring the the paper web break tendency in modern paper machines. The approach combines linguistic equations and fuzzy logic in a case-based reasoning framework. The development is based on actual mill data and simulations, and early prototyping is used to validate the approach in practice. The system has been tested on two Finnish paper machines with encouraging results showing good possibility for actual mill-scale application.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
