Figure 2 – The EPIC system, harnessing energy, control, intelligence and protection


chemical dosage applications. Several studies, performed on


different former configurations, revealed the opportunity to reduce the energy consumption,


without compromising (and often improving) the machine efficiency. The E.P.I.C. system represents the cornerstones of Cristini’s


Smart Sensor philosophy: ● Energy: paper manufacturing is a highly energy intensive process. Optimisation of the water removal reduces the


environmental impact


● Protection: paper machine operators are always exposed to safety risks in the workplace. Automated and hands-free operation eliminates these risks


● Intelligent: a machine with an embedded, Internet-connected computer cluster that has the capacity to gather and analyse data and communicate with other systems, with the ability to adapt according to current data and the capacity for remote monitoring and management.

● Control: controlling a process is to maintaining or improving product quality while improving performance and management. The system must also be able to monitor parameters and make measurements on the web and as it moves through the process. Open loops take human input and the closed loops are fully autonomous.
