Integrated Paper Web Monitoring and Paper Web Inspection system – Procemex OnePlatform
Procemex® OnePlatform is an integrated web monitoring and web inspection system for paper mills. It helps operators analyze paper web breaks and defects in one unified system instead of switching between separate web monitoring and web inspection systems.
By combining web monitoring and web inspection into a single system, OnePlatform makes it easier for operators to understand the connection between defects, web breaks, and process events. Operators can move smoothly between monitoring and inspection views, helping them identify the real root causes of web breaks and paper defects in the dryers, press section, and forming section.
The integrated Web Monitoring and Web Inspection system, Procemex OnePlatform, provides numerous benefits for mill operators, production management, quality assurance, IT, and paper mill maintenance personnel in their daily work.
For paper mills, this supports more efficient daily work, faster understanding of web break and defect root causes, and better use of time and materials.
Key Features of the Procemex OnePlatform system
One Unified System for Web Monitoring and Web Inspection
Procemex® OnePlatform does not analyze web breaks and paper defects as separate processes. Instead, it analyzes defects across the entire length of the paper web within one integrated system.
- One window into the paper web inspection & monitoring world
- Pre-configurable paper defects activate upstream cameras
- Upstream camera viewing area define automatically which cameras are included in the same video
- Web inspection and web monitoring cameras synchronized with each other
- Upstream root cause video evidence is only one click away
Simultaneous Analysis of Web Breaks and Paper Defects
The Procemex® OnePlatform Web Monitoring and Inspection user interface is designed as one unified user interface. As a result, operators can easily understand the inter-relations between paper web inspection and paper web monitoring and move flexibly between the “two systems.”
In addition, the intuitive Procemex web monitoring and web inspection user interface helps operators understand the real root causes of paper defects and web breaks created in the dryers, press section, and forming section.
Simultaneous Analysis of Web Breaks and Paper Defects
As the Procemex Smart Cameras process the data already inside the cameras and send the results via TCP/IP Network to the server, there is need for only one server for the whole system. It manages the SQL database for storing and distributing data and communicates with 3rd party systems.
When there is only one computer for the whole system’s data processing, that can contain over 200 cameras, this is beneficial, as it:
- Enables system virtualization by using Procemex server
- Enables system virtualization with preferred customer hardware and service
- Enables parallel server replication
- Enables easy backups
One Software Platform for Web Inspection and Web Monitoring
In addition to the shared data storage infrastructure and user interfaces, it is also important that there is only one application software covering both web inspection and monitoring. This makes it easy for maintenance and application engineers, as everything is handled in one unified way and there is no need to learn two systems.
Web inspection and web monitoring also share the same lighting and smart matrix camera technology, eliminating multiple spare parts and extensive troubleshooting efforts.

smart camera technology developed in Tampere, Finland
One Platform for Longer System Lifetime
At Procemex, we build systems that are both future proof and backwards compatible. This is our promise to our customers, and it is also one of our key values in smart camera development.
As a result, customers can extend a future-proof and backward-compatible system when needed instead of replacing it simply due to a lack of compatibility.
Furthermore, because we develop our own smart camera technology in Finland, we can go beyond compatibility issues in the fast-turning computer and off-the-shelf camera world. Many other systems on the market rely on standard technology and have an average lifetime of 5–7 years due to component obsolescence from OEM hardware manufacturers or a lack of compatibility with new components.
Therefore, Procemex has become known for building systems that are future-proof and backward-compatible. Customers can extend or upgrade all our systems starting from 2002.
ProClean Pinhole Cameras – stay clean in harsh conditions
The new Procemex ProClean pinhole technology guarantees that cameras stay clean and provide excellent images for operators to monitor web break root causes even in the harshest conditions.
The 12 Megapixel CRYSTAL smart cameras with ProClean technology create sharp images from corner to corner.
Procemex’s ground-breaking ProClean pinhole technology is the superior solution for all pulp, paper and tissue machines. Crystal ProClean Pinhole Cameras can be used in all locations from headbox to the reel.
