4 Forget your industry how far you can get without industry knowledge? Challenge: Web breaks are causing a lot of unplanned operational downtime in the paper industry. In many cases, the operator does not know the real root cause The solution by Valmet data scientist team: An analytical application that predicts upcoming sheet breaks in the process communicates with operators through specific user interface illustrates the root cause (contributing measurements) for predicted web break Results: Mill 1: 50% web break capture rate (2h in advance) Mill 2: 62% web break capture rate (2h in advance) There is information value in predicting breaks, but preventing them brings the business value 8 October, 2018 Valmet Valmet Customer Days 2018

5 Forget your industry how far you can get without industry knowledge? Success of predicting and avoiding web breaks Predictive Prescriptive Analytical application + expertise Cognitive analytics & artificial intelligence Expertise The problem was solved by making a simple change to the broke chest level control logic. A repeating web break due to broke chest level variation was never seen again. The rich broke blended with virgin fiber caused a freeness drop Web moisture got up suddenly by 4 5%, causing a sheet break Descriptive Operator / expert Analytical application Analytics Broke chest level lowered to 15% repeatedly signaling upcoming web break by analytical application Fines concentrated at the bottom of the broke chest Level of analytical intelligence Example: A tissue machine suffering from repeated web breaks 8 October, 2018 Valmet Valmet Customer Days 2018

6 Predicting future outcome is a new opportunity The same method can be applied to predict disturbances and failures in the energy, pulp, board and paper and tissue production Predicting corrosion risk and emissions in a power plant Pulp quality prediction (Brightness, strength, viscosity) Kappa number prediction based on data from woodyard to fiberline Paper and board strength prediction (tear, tensile, RCT, bending stiffness) Prediction of unplanned turbine shutdown in a power plant Recovery boiler reduction degree prediction Recovery boiler scaling level prediction Web break prediction for Tissue, Paper and Board Equipment failure prediction (predictive diagnostic) 8 October, 2018 Valmet Valmet Customer Days 2018
