Producers in the pulp and paper industry face daily pressure to get products to market on time, especially during these demanding times. As a provider of solutions to the paper industry, the team at Avid is proud of how these made-in-America producers have stepped up to keep essential products on shelves. Continuous paper production is necessary to achieve these results. Flawless execution of many different processes is required to maintain production. Avid’s Process Experts apply expertise and technology to help our clients achieve these results through process optimization. A clear focus on reducing unplanned downtime is integral to all our solutions for the pulp & paper sector.
Minimizing unplanned downtime is a challenge shared by all producers in the pulp and paper industry. Unplanned downtime kills profits and cripples commitments to your customers. Studies show that unplanned downtime on a single paper machine can cost over $20,000 a minute and an unplanned mill outage over $1MM/day. Avid works very hard to provide predictive maintenance solutions to reduce the cost of these unplanned events and optimize maintenance operations. Studies show that less than 50% of producers embrace a robust preventive maintenance program. Many producers want to accelerate the adoption of solutions that prevent unplanned downtime. Yet, the costs to develop and maintain these systems can be a barrier to adoption. Avid makes the adoption of these maintenance technologies easier (and less expensive) using IIoT-based technologies, artificial intelligence, and machine learning.
