Machine Operation Overview
ICIS: is an automated control system for paper machines that improves paper quality and dramatically reduces waste. ICIS uses Panther’s unique predictive feed forward control to adjust machine settings based on real-time data collected from machine sensors.
Benefits:
- Reduce waste
- Increase output
- Change grades faster
- Improve quality running faster
- Improve consistency across machines/tenders
- Reduce break recovery time 70% or more
- Reduce sheet breaks substantially
- Reduce maintenance cost
ICIS Software
ICIS applications provide enhanced production control of paper machines by integrating key machine variables from wet-end stock sensors, to dry-end quality sensors and scanners, in a multi-variable control solution. Proprietary control algorithms are used to perform a predictive mathematical material and energy balance for overall production improvements. Implementation of an ICIS Control System produces significant benefits, including:
- Reduce sheet breaks
- Change grades faster
- Recover from breaks faster
- Increase control with less manual intervention
- Increase production without increased fiber or energy consumption
- Produce new premium grades or products
- Produce more with less fiber/energy

Panther provides the ICIS Paper Machine Measurement & Control System as a complete solution including any hardware required. The hardware provided by Panther is specifically selected for each application; however, all Panther components share several common attributes: designed for the demanding mill floor environments; extreme reliability; and low maintenance. Panther can re-use existing system components, such as sensors, to reduce costs; or build systems with all new components. Panther uses commercial off-the-shelf parts whenever possible to reduce implementation and maintenance costs. This also extends the life of the system by reducing obsolescence.
ICIS Hardware from Panther provides the perfect balance by reducing the initial investment required - assuring maximum performance - while holding maintenance costs to an absolute minimum.
