Prod-IQ · SmartPress
Our closed-loop solution Prod-IQ · SmartPress leverages all potentials by means of Artificial Intelligence in your wood-based panel plant: It uses machine learning algorithms as well as AI methods to increase press performance, ensure board quality and reduce your production costs at the same time. The Prod-IQ · SmartPress architecture combines real-time production parameters with operator’s actions to generate higher levels of performance at all levels. Whereas the decision-making process used to lie with the machine operator, Prod-IQ · SmartPress now shifts autonomous decision-making to the plant itself. The concept synchronizes the performance of machines, processes and operators in real time.
Together with SMARTECH, we have already validated the unprecedented capabilities of Prod-IQ · SmartPress on a complete production line at a world-leading wood-based panel manufacturer.
Features
