Pulp & Paper Data Analytics

Pulp and Paper is a demanding 24/7 operation where art meets science and dataPARC delivers data analytics for the pulp and paper industry better than anyone. With built-in context like Grade and Grade based Limits, and industry applications like machine Centerlining, Grade Run filtering and more dataPARC covers it all.

Data Visualization & Analytics for the Pulp and Paper Industry

Tackle critical process challenges with dataPARC's pulp and paper data analytics software.

Filter Data by Grade

Filter data based on the grade and apply the proper limit for quality parameters (i.e. Basis Weight) and process settings (HPD/T) without custom exports into Excel.

Go Digital

Migrating manual systems/reports to electronic versions is often a choice between multiple systems from multiple vendors, or a home-grown solution. dataPARC was designed from day 1 to solve these and other problems.

Eliminate Data Silos

Make multiple sources (Historians, LIMS, MES, etc.) available for process troubleshooting, with all the process data overlaid in the same trends, dashboards, and process graphics.

KapStone Paper And Packaging

Headquartered in Northbrook, Illinois, KapStone is a leading North American producer of unbleached Kraft paper and corrugated packaging products. KapStone’s annual revenues exceed $3 billion. KapStone employs approximately 6,000 people.

KapStone Paper and Packaging’s mill in Longview, WA is a large integrated mill producing containerboard grades on five paper machines. The global containerboard market is highly competitive and capacity has increased recently in the U.S., so meeting all three goals is essential to a paper mill’s survival. KapStone’s technical team decided not only to use PARCview to implement centerlining but then to take things one step further, to use dataPARC and PARCview to reduce costs.

"We make a lot of different grades of paper. In order to maximize the dollars for each run, we use dataPARC's centerline tool to find 'golden runs' and those become our target each time we run a grade."

Pami Singh, Director Process Optimization - Kapstone Paper

Domtar - The Leader in Innovating Fiber-Based Products

When Domtar implemented dataPARC software in their Hawesville and Kingsport locations, results were immediate. dataPARC's PARCview visualization software enabled the operators to receive and report information rapidly, reducing the need for manual data entry and eliminating reliance on custom methods. Because the results were so positive, PARCview was installed at all Domtar mill sites across the US and Canada.
