ANDRITZ ASSET PERFORMANCE MANAGEMENT (APM)

Maximize reliability, minimize risk, and enable autonomous operations

ANDRITZ Asset Performance Management (APM) provides a comprehensive framework that streamlines daily operations, supports informed decision-making, and optimizes the use of critical resources. As a key digital capability, it enables pulp and paper producers to move beyond traditional maintenance practices.

Instead of reacting to failures, APM helps teams anticipate issues, better understand asset behavior, and make proactive decisions that enhance overall plant performance.

Modern pulp and paper operations are increasingly complex. Equipment is highly interconnected, production targets are tighter, and maintenance teams are under constant pressure to do more with fewer resources.

At the same time, unplanned downtime remains one of the most significant cost drivers in the industry. Many plants still rely on reactive or time-based maintenance strategies, leading to unnecessary interventions, unexpected failures, and limited visibility into asset conditions.

ANDRITZ APM addresses these challenges by creating a unified, data-driven foundation for asset performance. It integrates information from sensors, control systems, and maintenance workflows into a single environment, enabling a comprehensive and real-time view of all critical assets.

Key Functionalities:

Application design based on customer needs
Flexible infrastructure adaptable to different process industries and budgets
Part of the Metris all-in-one platform with step-by-step enhancement toward autonomous operations
Creation of soft sensors (including Python-based implementation)
Enhanced human-machine interface (HMI) for flexible visualization
KPI-based dashboards for consistent and systematic process analysis

From reactive maintenance to proactive performance

Because mill performance is closely linked to equipment reliability, ANDRITZ APM empowers operations to act early identifying potential issues, preventing unplanned downtime, and sustaining peak performance with confidence. ANDRITZ APM enables real-time monitoring for troubleshooting, reporting, and alerts, increased risk visibility across critical assets and mobile access to inspection routes, documentation, and process data
