Automation & Digital Solutions

Discover how automation & digitalization is revolutionizing efficiency in the pulp, paper, and power industries. Learn how these advanced technologies drive performance and optimize operations.

Metris CoPilot - Transforming pulp mill operations with AI

Imagine having a chat box on the dashboard of your PC where you can converse directly with your pulp mill equipment, in your own language, checking on the conditions and performance and then receiving instant feedback and advice. Sounds like something out of the future? ANDRITZ Metris Copilot is already here and is ready to continue the digital transformation of the performance of pulp mills.

Enablers of the smart future

Things are changing – for the better.

Addressing industrial cybersecurity risks affecting the industry

ANDRITZ partners with OTORIO to safeguard production operations

Keeping it Safe: Machine Learning in Water Leakage Detection

In the search for maximal safety in recovery boiler operation, ANDRITZ has developed its state-of-the-art Metris Water Leakage Advisor (WLA) to reduce the risk of explosions in the furnace of the boiler. Smurfit Kappa Nettingsdorf in Austria is the first mill to receive delivery of the WLA and has been instrumental in the co-development of the new solution.

Digital evolution across the recovery island

We are in the middle of a massive digital transformation in all areas of our lives – at home, at work, even in our cars – as digitalization fully enters our lives. The pulp industry has by no means been ignored, and now there are already promising results being seen at pulp mills as the latest in Metris Digital Solutions from ANDRITZ bring major advantages to process islands.

Predicting the Future

Metsä Fibre’s Äänekoski bioproduct mill in Finland is predicting the future utilizing the latest digital technology from ANDRITZ for its white liquor plant.

Improving Safety in the Recovery Boiler – ANDRITZ Smelt Spout Cleaning Systems

ANDRITZ Smelt Spout Cleaning Systems are proving to be something of a hit with recovery boiler operators world-wide, with several successful installations and more than 20 new systems on order. Nevertheless, the work never stops in developing the robotic systems further; ANDRITZ experts have devised a number of new features that help to provide an even safer working environment, as well as new intelligent tools for managing efficiency in a recovery boiler.

Turning a shutdown into a pitstop

Just like super-fast pit stops in Grand Prix Formula One racing, ANDRITZ has been concentrating on helping customers to minimize shutdown times, utilizing its Metris OPP platform. The dedicated Metris Planning App is integrated into the platform and is already achieving remarkable results in shutdown efficiencies.

Digitalization as a Megatrend

Digitalization is progressing in leaps and bounds: The main reasons for this are technical progress, constant further development of the internet, mobile applications and technologies based on artificial intelligence, and increasing globalization. Technology trends emerging as a result of digitalization, such as IoT (Internet of Things), AI (Artificial Intelligence), data analytics by means of Big Data, and AR (Augmented Reality), not only have a considerable impact on society and the working environment, but also on business operations in industry.

Automation: Metris condition monitoring

We are living in a century where digital devices monitor every move and our own mobile devices know everything about us – where we go, what we do, our health status, and much more. The data available on our lives transfers mobile phones into our private assistants and supports us in many endeavors with helpful functions and hints. Industries are being enabled in a similar way to monitor and control all assets and plants and improve performance in an effort to achieve perfection.

Metris Performance Center

Experts on demand. The new Metris Performance Center expands service to papermakers around the world by putting an ANDRITZ expert virtually in the mill’s control room whenever needed.

Metris OPP

Imagine the ability to produce the best product at the lowest cost every hour of the day – that is optimization in a nutshell.
