Pulp & Paper Mill Automation
From the woodyard through digesters, bleach plant, paper machines, and recovery boilers — MavenProTech automation drives stable runnability, lower energy intensity, and predictive uptime across the entire mill.
Mill-Wide Performance Demands
Paper Machine Runnability
Maintaining stable basis weight, moisture, and caliper at high speeds — minimising sheet breaks, broke and grade-change losses while protecting tissue and board quality.
Energy & Steam Intensity
Pulp & paper is one of the most steam- and electricity-intensive industries — every percentage point of energy savings drops directly to the bottom line.
Unplanned Downtime
Unscheduled outages on digesters, recovery boilers, lime kilns and PMs can cost millions per day — predictive maintenance and instrument health are mission-critical.
Solutions for Pulp & Paper Mills
A targeted product set covering process control, asset health, sequence automation, AI assistance and digital twinning for the pulp & paper industry.
MAVEN APC
Multi-variable predictive control on continuous & batch digesters, bleach plant, paper machine drying section and recovery boilers — stabilising kappa, brightness, basis weight and moisture.
Learn MoreMAVEN APM
Predictive maintenance for refiners, agitators, fans, pumps, lime kilns, recovery boilers and paper machine drives — surfacing degradation before it becomes downtime.
Learn MoreMAVEN FDM
Field Device Management for the thousands of pressure, temperature, flow, level and consistency sensors across stock prep, the wet end and the dry end — health-scored and calibration-tracked.
Learn MoreMAVEN SEQ
Automated startup, shutdown and grade-change sequences for paper machines, bleach plant and recovery — coordinating drives, valves and controllers with full safety interlocks.
Learn MoreMAVEN AI
mAvenIt natural language operations assistant — surfacing root-cause for breaks & grade losses, summarising shift events and answering operator questions in plain English.
Learn MoreMAVEN DTWIN
Digital twin models of digesters, bleach plant, paper machines and recovery boilers — for what-if analysis, operator training and offline optimisation.

Paper Machine Stabilisation
Deploy MAVEN APC across the wet end and drying section to stabilise basis weight, moisture and caliper — reducing breaks, broke and grade-change losses while running closer to design speed.
- Cross-direction and machine-direction control
- Steam and condensate optimisation in the dryer
- Grade-change minimisation with sequenced ramps
Recovery Boiler & Lime Kiln Health
MAVEN APM combined with MAVEN FDM gives a complete asset and instrument health picture for the recovery boiler, lime kiln and causticising area — preventing the most expensive unplanned outages in the mill.
- Vibration, thermal and process anomaly detection
- Calibration tracking on all critical instruments
- Predictive shutdown planning with TTF forecasts
AI-Assisted Mill Operations
MAVEN AI gives operators and engineers a single conversational interface to query trends, root-cause breaks, summarise shift events, and pull procedure steps — drawing on MAVEN DTWIN scenarios under the hood.
- Plain-English shift handover summaries
- Break root-cause investigations on demand
- Procedure recall & safe-operating envelope queries
