ABB introduced the Industrial IT Papermaking Suite 3.0, a 'one stop shop' solution to enable pulp and paper customers to leverage existing investment in automation and hardware while exploiting the new generation control strategies. Its integrated drives and motor solutions, in conjunction with field control devices, provide superior control strategies -- much to the satisfaction of its customers.

The Direct IT Drive, ABB's latest innovation is an integral part of the Papermaking Suite. The first of its kind in the industry, it provides an original mechanical configuration of the paper machine and eliminates the need for mechanical gearboxes. Fewer components and simpler configurations reduce plant engineering, make installation easier, and allow more efficient use of mill floor space.

Systems designed by ABB help customers obtain data on both production processes as well as enterprise information systems and enable them to monitor key performance indices in real time.

Supplementing this combination, the Industrial IT systems provide a well-orchestrated strategy to help pulp and paper companies face issues such as fast product changes at considerably reduced costs.
