interact with these inputs in real time by highlighting components in the operator’s field of view, sending relevant documentation to their helmet’s visor and guiding them on adjusting the machine. Toscotec’s service team


can acquire all the information they need to provide solutions, get around lack of technical know-how, or language-related issues in communication. Yes-Connect-Vision is designed


to ensure maximum safety for the operator who is wearing the helmet with dust-tight and watertight hardware. With an adjustable binocular visor, a


camera with a 150-degree visual field, a selective microphone and noise-cancelling headset, technicians can safely move around in the mill with high visibility of surroundings, and operate hands-free, while receiving clear audio signals, even in highly noisy areas. Girolamo Panepinto, Toscotec’s

A ‘completely new method of tissue rewinding’ from PCMC


Higher productivity in the tissue winding process, along with simplicity and better control, are being claimed for the latest Paragon rewinder from Paper Converting Machine Company (PCMC).

‘new-concept nest’, comprised of a winding drum, winding belt, compound-motion rider roll and centre drives. “Paragon offers a completely


new method of tissue rewinding,” said Andrew Green, vice president of tissue and folding at PCMC. “It is radical only in the sense that we made the wind nest as simple as possible. Usually when you increase a machine’s speed,


you sacrifice ease of use, but we know customers want both. With Paragon, we created a machine capable of higher speeds that is easier to operate. It’s remarkable.” Paragon features a new Smart


Touch human-machine interface (HMI) that delivers Industry 4.0 tools. The HMI is like mobile devices with swipe functionality, enabling a short learning curve and improved productivity.


start-up & service software engineer, says: “Yes-Connect- Vision is perfectly suited for trouble-shooting service, on-remote factory acceptance tests, and commissioning tests. Customers can also use it for one-on-one training at the customer site, or group training from the Toscotec factory. For instance, a Toscotec engineer could demonstrate a maintenance task with up to 11 remote connected viewers. With price-competitive service subscriptions, paper mills can get 24/7, worry-free service. We are simply a phone call away from the solution to their technical problem.”
