Pulp & Paper Mill Automation
From the woodyard through digesters, bleach plant, paper machines, and recovery boilers — MavenProTech automation drives stable runnability, lower energy intensity, and predictive uptime across the entire mill.
Mill-Wide Performance Demands
Paper Machine Runnability
Maintaining stable basis weight, moisture, and caliper at high speeds — minimising sheet breaks, broke and grade-change losses while protecting tissue and board quality.
Energy & Steam Intensity
Pulp & paper is one of the most steam- and electricity-intensive industries — every percentage point of energy savings drops directly to the bottom line.
Unplanned Downtime
Unscheduled outages on digesters, recovery boilers, lime kilns and PMs can cost millions per day — predictive maintenance and instrument health are mission-critical.
MAVEN PAPER — Energy Optimisation Co-Pilot
Reduce specific energy across digesters, recovery boilers, evaporators, paper machines, and steam systems. Intelligent steam balancing and dryer-section optimisation cut GJ per tonne on existing assets.

A targeted product set covering process control, asset health, sequence automation, AI assistance and digital twinning for the pulp & paper industry.
MAVEN APC
Multi-variable predictive control on continuous & batch digesters, bleach plant, paper machine drying section and recovery boilers — stabilising kappa, brightness, basis weight and moisture.
Learn MoreMAVEN APM
Predictive maintenance for refiners, agitators, fans, pumps, lime kilns, recovery boilers and paper machine drives — surfacing degradation before it becomes downtime.
Learn MoreMAVEN SEQ
Automated startup, shutdown and grade-change sequences for paper machines, bleach plant and recovery — coordinating drives, valves and controllers with full safety interlocks.
Learn MoremAvenIt
mAvenIt natural language operations assistant — surfacing root-cause for breaks & grade losses, summarising shift events and answering operator questions in plain English.
Learn MoreMAVEN DTWIN
Digital twin models of digesters, bleach plant, paper machines and recovery boilers — for what-if analysis, operator training and offline optimisation.

Paper Machine Stabilisation
Deploy MAVEN APC across the wet end and drying section to stabilise basis weight, moisture and caliper — reducing breaks, broke and grade-change losses while running closer to design speed.
- Cross-direction and machine-direction control
- Steam and condensate optimisation in the dryer
- Grade-change minimisation with sequenced ramps
Recovery Boiler & Lime Kiln Health
MAVEN APM combined with MAVEN FDM gives a complete asset and instrument health picture for the recovery boiler, lime kiln and causticising area — preventing the most expensive unplanned outages in the mill.
- Vibration, thermal and process anomaly detection
- Calibration tracking on all critical instruments
- Predictive shutdown planning with TTF forecasts
AI-Assisted Mill Operations
mAvenIt gives operators and engineers a single conversational interface to query trends, root-cause breaks, summarise shift events, and pull procedure steps — drawing on MAVEN DTWIN scenarios under the hood.
- Plain-English shift handover summaries
- Break root-cause investigations on demand
- Procedure recall & safe-operating envelope queries
