Paper mill water quality can boost OEE and profits
Paper mills report an average of 4% increase in OEE (Overall Equipment Effectiveness) by simply focusing on water quality
Water-Efficiency Management Index will boost OEE
The WEMI, Water-Efficiency Management Index online data network, makes it easy to manage water-related industrial processes, boost OEE, reduce industrial water usage, and pollution in the environment
It helps industrial water users reduce the water stress and pollution in the environment, analyse and summarise complex multi-dimensional phenomena, intepret analysis, and to facilitate the communication within companies, research and management teams.
The launch of the WEMS platform takes the "Get more out of Water" initiative to its next evolutionary step, integrating global, real-time, online, wireless and mobile water monitoring and management solutions, and services, into one platform.
WEMS will replace the role of many traditional and costly control systems and lab services, and research, measuring, monitoring and analysis tools.

The real-time technology makes it easy to leverage water-efficiency and reduce waste on a broad scale; the system collects large amounts of data that is required to track and identify water-related problems, and to optimise the use of water, chemicals and energy.
WEMS uses electrochemistry, and patented time-tested single sensor liquid monitoring technology to collect and analyse data in real-time.
It gathers together knowledge, process data, and new information about the state of the liquid process chemistry.
This information is combined and then refined, using an intelligent data handling system, into a compressed and visual form to enable the necessary corrective, or indeed preventive actions to be taken.
WEMS provides data processing, infrastructure, and an accurate real-time data system, that is critical to operators, management and research teams.
WEMS provides operators with effortless and real-time control of the entire process, and contributes to the smooth implementation of planned process changes.
Operators and management personnel are well-informed, changes and events disturbing production are detected early, so that corrective action can be taken before the disturbance leads to economic loss.
A stable process improves water-efficiency, and maximises productivity.
WEMS can be applied to a variety of industrial uses, from water research to quality management in manufacturing, to water industry index financial analysis, and environmental monitoring.
It is guaranteed to reduce freshwater, chemical and energy consumption.
It is designed to optimise water quality, OEE, and process performance.
A small investment in WEMS can easily pay for itself within less than a year.
Starting in March 2008, industrial water users around the world can gain special access to the WEMS online platform, and the WEMS monitoring tool, and start managing their water resources more efficiently for a one-time license fee, and a monthly service fee.
The WEMS technology has been tested in Europe, USA and South America in over 50 industrial processes with great success during the past eight years.
All water users have reported improved OEE (Overall Equipment Efficiency), and up to 25% savings in freshwater and chemical usage.
WEMS has been evaluated as the most advanced real-time water measuring, monitoring and early warning system by some of the world's leading process automation engineers, scientists, researchers, and technology, chemical, and electrochemical experts.
