IMPROVE MES System provides a software tool that deals with Quality,
Production and Direction Manager in the evaluation of plant efficiency and real-
time quality.
Improvement activities
• Defining goals
• Evaluating results

3. Framework
IMPROVE | LOGIC APPLICATION
• Software Agents and graphic components designed
for the World Class Manufacturing
• Created to follow dynamic processes, such as quality
systems
• The integration is achieved with the most common
ERP Systems
• The graphic components are arranged to
immediately provide the required information: the
system provides graphical tools in order to perfectly
satisfy user needs

4. IMPROVE Graphics
IMPROVE | Customer Centered Design
4
• The user interface is assembled in order to provide
only essential information
• The views are adapted to each company role
• It doesn't require licence
• It comunicates through the browser
• You can use it everywhere and with any devices

IMPROVE | main features
5
• System and parameters configuration
• Consumption/costs analysis of raw materials
• Center-Line Calendar and CIL Modules (Cleaning
Inspection Lubrication)
• Traceability of reels produced and quality
• Process capability analysis
• Energy consumption monitoring and correlation
with production flows

6. IMPROVE for papermills
IMPROVE | Process modelling
6
• Configuring sub-systems, setting of CIL
and Center-line (process and quality
C.L.)
• Setting of variables properties (source,
domain, specification limits), select
control chart type.
• Defining control chart parameters
(advanced control chart CUSUM,
EWMA, EWMV)
• Configuring simple mathematical
models through elementary functions
that correlate more process variables

7. IMPROVE for papermills
IMPROVE | Calendar
7
Managing the temporal flow of information
• Center-line and CIL for each shift
• Production Changes
• Daily, weakly, monthly views

8. IMPROVE for papermills
IMPROVE | Calendar to detection
8
• You can read and write information in
simple forms
• IMPROVE provides automatic data
acquisition from plant DCS
• Highlights the out-of-control variables

9. IMPROVE for papermills
IMPROVE | Products quality control
9
• Every produced reel is traced by
IMPROVE, through specific interface with
ERP or production systems.
• IMPROVE manages the quality controls,
provides simple forms depending the
working products.

IMPROVE | Traceability of child reels
10
IMPROVE traces the association between mother reel and child
reel. Therefore it’s possible to identify mother reel knowing child
reel.
The process history, during production flow of a specific reel, is
related to the traced unit, also cellulose and chemical consumed.

11. IMPROVE for papermills
IMPROVE | Chemicals consumption and costs
11
Chemical consumption management
• Track lots supplier
• Flow monitoring
• Quantitative valorization of chemicals usage
• Economic valorization of chemicals usage

12. IMPROVE for papermills
IMPROVE | Energy consumption
12
IMPROVE gathers energy data from the plant DCS or
from direct linked sensors, distributed in specific
locations.
IMPROVE runs the monitoring of energy
consumption and correlates energy
consumption with the production flow.
Thus, it allows to make the most of the energy
costs for each production order.

13. IMPROVE for papermills
IMPROVE | Real time analysis
13
The acquired and processed data will be available in real
time on a TV LED monitor, showing the main KPI
performance and control charts

14. IMPROVE for papermills
IMPROVE | Production efficiency analysis
14
OEE: Overall Equipment Effectiveness
• Availability (time) RF
• Performance (speed) RV
• Quality RQ
It allows to identify and quantify the major production
losses of the plant, and to monitor the efficiency of the
production processes.

15. IMPROVE for papermills
IMPROVE | Process capability
15
Process capability Analysis
• Frequency histograms and gaussianity
analysis
• Calculation of Cp, Cpk
• Mean and standard deviation
• Fish-bone diagrams, and Action Plan

16. The application systems developed by NeXT are based on cutting-edge Agent technology. Every software module is
created as an Agent, developed to pursue its aim.
The user interfaces are graphically pleasing and highly ergonomic: it leverages the potential of the Web, which makes it
possible to integrate functions and stylish graphics.

Intelligent Agents Framework
Web Intelligent Platform

17. NeXT technology is integrated into open-source environments. It aims to implement complex and reliable systems, and
optimization of resources.
Next systems are created on Linux operating systems; the relational database is PostgreSql, and the Web-Server is
Apache2.
