Pulp & Paper
Pulp and Paper is a demanding 24/7 operation where art meets science and dataPARC delivers to this 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.
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.

Our plant visualization tools will give you the insights needed to quickly optimize your manufacturing processes.
Production Of Multiple Grades
Filtering data based on the Grade and applying the proper limit for quality parameters (i.e. Basis Weight) and process settings (HPD/T) often requires a custom exports into Excel.
Going 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.
Data Silos
Making multiple sources (Historians, LIMS, MES, etc) available for process troubleshooting is time consuming or requires significant duplication of data across systems.
