Quality Control Systems

Increase quality of product grades, reduce costs and solve problems. PantherQCS is scalable to every mill’s requirements, timelines and budget.

Quality Tracking

TestCentral combines QCS data and lab tests to ensure only good products ship to customers. Track reels and rolls. Chart and export priceless data.

QCS with scalability

Legacy quality control systems, scanners, sensors and components become unsupportable over time.

PantherQCS solutions include advanced feed-forward machine-direction control with virtual basis weight, multi-variable moisture control and automatic grade change. Our QuickChange technology responds automatically to sheet breaks and helps paper machines recover within one machine dead-time period.

PantherQCS is scalable, so you don’t have to make all of your upgrades at one time. Add cross-direction and other controls over time. Mills and plants can have exceptional quality measurement and automatic control with long life and low cost of ownership.

Quality tracking for papermaking and converting

TestCentral tracks production quality — reel by reel, set by set and roll by roll. This quality tracking solution consolidates test and scanner measurement profiles.

Give operators real-time access to turn-up profiles and test information to decide quickly how to meet customer specifications and conserve production time, material and energy.

Panther technology eliminates statistical anomalies associated with highly-filtered QCS statistics and produces actual as-sold roll quality data for paper mills.

MES that evolves with your needs

Panther enhances MillTools MES continually to add functionality to meet our customers’ requirements. We provide user experiences that make operators and managers highly effective. Production, finishing, product tracking, customer facing and flexible reporting occur in easy-to-use and secure applications on any PC and mobile device with Chromium browsers.

MillTools user interfaces and automation help users to follow process, remain productive and put safety first.

Visualize data for process analysis

Capture data from sources such as continuous process variables, scanner quality profiles, discrete lab test data and events which occur at different times during production. ProcessAnalyzer retrieves data from QCS, MES, DCS and other databases, then trends it graphically on a contiguous timeline in 2D and 3D, so you can quickly identify cause and effect of production quality issues.
