ABC Tissue in Australia prepares
for expansion with upgrades
Australian paper maker ABC
Tissue has had its digital control
system modernised by A.Celli
during planned downtime on the
PM1 line at its Wetherill Park
mill near Sydney.
The stopping to change the
press and felt and the installation
of a new Quality Control System
(QCS) provided an opportunity
to carry out other changes,
including:
l The ‘virtualisation’ of the
system, with the replacement
of six physical PCs with a pair of
redundant servers and virtual
machines
l Replacement of two obsolete
CPUs with a single latestgeneration CPU
l Integration of the new QCS
system
May/June 2023
l Preparation for communication
between the PM1 and the
upcoming PM2 which will also
be supplied by A.Celli.
The new system makes the
plant ready for digitisation to
Industry 4.0 standards, with
the possibility of collecting data
from the machines and sending
them using Cloud technology
for monitoring and optimisation
purposes.
Commenting on the
modernisation, Brandon Ly,
director of ABC Paper Mills,
said: “Since the beginning of our
partnership in 2006 A.Celli has
always provided strong support
to us in our quest for continuous
improvement. This is why we
decided to rely on A.Celli both
for the supply of the new PM2,
ABC Tissue has upgraded its quality and digital control systems in
advance of its PM2 commissioning
now in the commissioning phase,
and for the upgrade of our state-
of-the-art PM1, certain of the
success of both projects.”
