Neural Prediction of Product Quality Based on Pilot Paper Machine Process Measurements

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Computer Science ((LNTCS,volume 6593))

Abstract

We describe a multilayer perceptron model to predict the laboratory measurements of paper quality using the instantaneous state of the papermaking production process. Actual industrial data from a pilot paper machine was used. The final model met its goal accuracy 95.7% of the time at best (tensile index quality) and 66.7% at worst (beta formation). We anticipate usage possibilities in lowering machine prototyping expenses, and possibly in quality control at production sites.
