Metris OPP is a risk-free investment with guaranteed results

Metris OPP is based on continuous developments in the three main Metris technologies, and it improves production systems by analyzing a huge amount of data collected throughout the systems. Under the basic pricing model, charges are only incurred once concrete savings have been realised. Metris OPP has helped clients worldwide save millions, with pulp mills, 8 paper plants among the industries that have reaped proven benefits in weeks rather than years.

How does Metris OPP work?

The analytical software collects information from systems about each control loop, control valve, motor, and variables in the process. Sophisticated signal processing and statistical tools in the software identify loops that are not performing optimally and predict the economic impact on the process.

Then, the human expertise takes over. ANDRITZ experts work with your operations and maintenance people to prioritize the opportunities and make corrections. For some loops, it can be a simple fix like repairing a valve.

Others require analyzing the overall control objective and changing the process control strategy to eliminate off-spec production, overconsumption of chemicals and energy or sources of process variability. The result is an increase operational stability and reduction of waste.

Who benefits from Metris OPP?

Managers can access real-time dashboards for KPIs, balanced scorecards, and project management features.

Engineers benefit from advanced analytics such as data mining, statistics, and power spectral density to enhance efficiency. The alarm system alerts operators to urgent process deviations, while the Data Historian collects and visualizes big data for quick insights.

Operators and supervisors use tools like the Logbook to improve daily operations, solve recurring issues, and train staff. Smart controls support start-up sequences, diagnostics, root cause analysis, adaptive set-points, predictive controls, and neural networks. 

Field operators and technicians gain from Augmented Reality support, real-time diagnostics, and remote assistance, enabling timely improvements.
