The Century Paper plant at Multan Road, on the out skirts of Lahore, has seven paper machines PM1 to PM7. All machines have different and isolated control systems. The management’s primary concern was to consolidate data from all these control systems to a central data repository. The diversity in the control systems on all the machines made it impossible to have a single platform.

IntelliMAX is equipped with the capability to connect to virtually any control system on OPC standards which made it possible to integrate all control systems on a single and standard layer. IntelliMAX provided the management the data they required for decision making like the production details, downtime analysis and machine efficiency reports in real-time. IntelliMAX thin-client concept gave them the freedom of visualizing the plant from any where on the plant.

“The concept of universal connectivity has simply solved our
data management problems, now I can simply sitting in my
room visualize the entire plant processes and make prompt
decisions based on real-time data availability”
