ANDRITZ launching new intelligent instrument portfolio

ANDRITZ is launching a portfolio of intelligent instruments called the Smart Series at the Pulp & Beyond exhibition in Helsinki on April 11. The company states that this is in response to the pulp and paper producers’ need to meet their process efficiency and environmental sustainability targets.

The portfolio reportedly includes a comprehensive range of measurements, analyzers, machine vision systems, condition monitoring solutions as well as robotics and mechatronics. They are designed to provide customers with an intelligent instrumentation foundation, paving the way for advanced process optimization.

Emission and gas analyzers, process measurement and vision systems complement pulp and paper plants by providing a deeper understanding of the process and machine condition than possible before, shares ANDRITZ. With condition monitoring solutions for a wide range of process equipment and process areas, the Smart Series is designed to help manufacturers move toward predictive maintenance, reducing unplanned downtime and extending the lifetime of equipment and components. Integrated robotics and mechatronics applications will help reduce the need of human intervention in hazardous areas of pulp and paper mills, reschedule regular tasks and contribute to optimizing maintenance.

The Smart Series complements and is integrated with Metris, ANDRITZ’s digitalization platform that leverages IIoT technologies to improve plant efficiency and profitability.
