ProdIQ®: innovative process control technology with IQ factor

We have developed ProdIQ® in order to analyze and optimize every part of Siempelkamp plants for the production of wood-based boards. This process control system provides the essential tools for continuosly improving and quick operation of Siempelkamp plants. The highlights are:

- generation of reliable and up-to-date key management numbers (plant availability, performance, consumption, costs)
- online quality forecast which otherwise could only be determined through destructive material testing (e.g., tensile and bending strength, thickness swelling)
- condition-based maintenance and service

We offer the following types of process control systems:

- every new ContiRoll® plant is equipped with Prod-IQ.basics.
Siempelkamp uses this system to perform the efficiency statement of the plant all the way to the acceptance procedure
- Prod-IQ provides detailed, customer-specific evaluations. These include shift, day and month evaluations as well as management and dryer reports.
- Prod-IQ.quality allows for the safe and reliable online quality forecast of quality features for particleboard, MDF and OSB which otherwise would only be possible through destructive material testing in a laboratory
- Prod-IQ.maintenance optimizes the maintenance and servicing of a plant

Customer benefits:

- according to the aspect “TCO – Total Cost of Ownership”, the customer has access to all consumption and performance data needed for a performance evaluation
- reproducible optimal product quality after changeover
- simple, automated implementation of company-wide standards
- integration into existing plants possible, for an increase in efficiency
- to increase possible savings in a targeted manner
- proactive maintenance
