ANDRITZ SPECTRUM Podcast
#37 How can tissue manufactures realize hidden production potential with digitalization?
15 Oct 2025
The tissue industry is driven by high-speed production, fast grade changes, and constant pressure to reduce waste and energy use. However, many mills struggle with visibility and knowing exactly where and why losses happen. From sheet breaks and quality deviations to energy and fiber overuse, hidden inefficiencies cause losses everyday. ANDRITZ addresses this challenge with an integrated portfolio of digital solutions. Central to this offering is Metris Insights, a data platform tailored for tissue production. Enhanced by Optimization of Process Performance (OPP) and Metris Advanced Process Control (APC), it enables real-time optimization, automation, and efficiency improvements across production operations. Metris Insights integrates data from all mill systems into a single, user-friendly platform, providing real-time dashboards, statistical process control, machine learning tools, cost and energy tracking, soft sensors for key process variables, and automated reporting and alerts. In short, the combination of Metris Insights, OPP and APC gives operators and decision-makers the visibility they need to move from guessing to knowing and from reacting to optimizing. In this podcast we speak to John Schroeder, Director Packaging and Tissue Digital Solutions from ANDRITZ about the immediate positive improvements digitization brings to tissue production processes.
