Nisthora for paper and pulp.
A paper machine is a long line of rolls, dryers, felts and drives that all have to keep running together. Nisthora watches their readings, logs every web break and stop, and warns which part needs maintenance soon.
What gets in the way.
Web breaks
Each break stops the machine and wastes paper while it is re-threaded.
Many rotating parts
Hundreds of rolls and bearings, any of which can stop the machine.
Steam and energy
Dryer sections use a lot of steam and power.
What Nisthora connects to and measures.
Machines
- Paper machine sections
- Dryer cylinders
- Press rolls and felts
- Drives and gearboxes
- Pulpers and refiners
- Winders and rewinders
Readings
- Machine speed
- Web break count
- Roll bearing temperature and vibration
- Steam pressure
- Drive load
- Run / stop state
Typical stop reasons
- Web break
- Felt change
- Wire change
- Grade change
- Planned shutdown
- Broke handling
These are common examples. Each plant names its own machines and lines, and sets up its own stop reasons, in the words its team uses.
Records for every reel
Every stop and reading is kept in history, so you can look back at what happened during any reel.
A day with Nisthora
The Pareto of stops shows most lost time comes from Web break in one section. A root cause investigation with a fishbone finds the cause in the felt conditioning.
Example for illustration.
Built for plants like yours.
Live status of every asset
Running, stopped or offline, with its key readings, live on one screen.
Maintenance forecast
Which asset needs maintenance in the next 30 days, how many days are left, and why.
Anomaly detection
Flags readings that are not normal for that asset, even inside the limits.
Alerts
Limits on any reading, sent in-app, by email, SMS, push or webhook, with escalation.
Downtime analysis
Every stop with its reason and length, and a Pareto of the biggest causes.
Root cause and fishbone
Find why a problem keeps coming back, and prove the fix.
Energy
Power use per asset and per area.
Works with your controllers
OPC UA, Modbus, Siemens S7, EtherNet/IP, MQTT and HTTP.
