Solenis’ OPTIX Predictive Process Optimization is an advanced platform designed to help pulp and paper manufacturers run more stable, efficient, and consistent operations.

Powered by artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML), OPTIX connects directly to your process data, analyzes operational patterns, and automatically adjusts critical parameters to keep your operation stable, efficient, and on target.

Unlike traditional analytics tools, OPTIX does not rely on time-consuming data interpretation or constant operator intervention. It continuously generates insights and applies optimizations autonomously in real time.

OPTIX helps your mill run better, consume less, and produce more consistently — every single day.

Customers using OPTIX consistently report improvements in:

  • Basis weight optimization
  • Improved product quality consistency
  • Reduced process variability
  • Reduced raw material and chemical consumption
  • Increased production output
  • Higher machine speeds

OPTIX uses advanced AI models to create virtual sensors (soft sensors) that predict quality parameters in real time.

These models analyze multiple process variables simultaneously and provide a continuous, accurate view of production quality — minute by minute, across the entire reel.

Unlike traditional lab-based measurements, OPTIX enables:

  • Continuous quality monitoring
  • Early detection of manufacturing process deviations
  • Faster and more precise response  

 

 

Traditionally, machine control decisions rely on lab data received after production — often with delays of 30–120 minutes.

OPTIX fundamentally changes this approach.

The platform delivers high-frequency data and predictions in real time, allowing operators to act based on the most current information available.

More importantly, OPTIX goes beyond recommendations:

➡ It automatically adjusts process parameters, reducing the need for manual intervention.

With OPTIX, operators can:

  • Optimize KPI’s including fiber mix, raw materials, chemical usage, energy
  • Reduce off-spec production
  • Improve machine efficiency and productivity
  • Make decisions with greater confidence

Discover how OPTIX helps you

OPTIX is more than a digital tool — it is a strategic platform that delivers measurable operational and business value.

By improving production consistency, OPTIX helps mills:

  • Meet tighter quality specifications
  • Support stronger product claims
  • Advance sustainability and ESG goals
