Leveraging Tissue Paper Production Data Using Seeq Kimberly-Clark IFP ANZ Pty. Limited Data shown is illustrative and has been simplified for presentation purposes

7

K-C Internal Use Only

Use case #1: Monitoring of Paper Towel Converting Process A rolled converting asset transforms a large parent roll from the tissue machine into consumer-ready rolls we see in the market.

8

K-C Internal Use Only

Use case #1: Monitoring of Paper Towel Converting Process Challenge: Reduced overall equipment efficiency due to diameter variations on specific products

Solution: Create signals to show upper and lower limits to visualize variability

9

K-C Internal Use Only

Solution: Use ‘conditions’ and ‘capsule view’ to compare machine parameters for each product run.

10 Use case #1: Monitoring of Paper Towel Converting Process

K-C Internal Use Only

Result:

Easily compared good and bad runs Helped support troubleshooting using real-time data  improved diameter control  increased machine speed and reduced waste Improved product OEE by 10%

11 Use case #1: Monitoring of Paper Towel Converting Process

K-C Internal Use Only

Pulpers are used to process virgin, recycled, or broke bales into useable pulp for tissue manufacturing.

12 Use case #2: Monitoring Pulper Efficiency

K-C Internal Use Only

Challenge: Decreasing efficiency can cause longer pulping time  increase batch process time  higher energy consumption No readily available tags to measure efficiency Processing time / pulping time can vary on type of product 13 Use case #2: Monitoring Pulper Efficiency Relying on operator feedback for issue

No proper monitoring

Reactive vs Proactive

K-C Internal Use Only

Solution: Transform ‘raw’ signals into ‘conditions’ to isolate desired event

14 Use case #2: Monitoring Pulper Efficiency

K-C Internal Use Only

Solution: Create signals based on condition aggregations to establish KPI

15 Use case #2: Monitoring Pulper Efficiency

K-C Internal Use Only

Result: 10-years worth of historical data loaded in a few minutes vs 1-2 hours in excel. Used to identify periods of decline which triggers preventive maintenance Transformed the approach from reactive to predictive and avoid machine breakdowns.

16 Use case #2: Monitoring Pulper Efficiency

K-C Internal Use Only

Use case #3: Comparing Tissue Machine Run Settings between Felt Fabric Replacements Tissue Machine Background:​ Large loops of fabric => form and dewater pulp => tissue paper​!

Fabric material and structure => conditioning requirements

17

K-C Internal Use Only

Use case #3: Comparing Tissue Machine Run Settings between Felt Fabric Replacements Challenge: ​ Fabric conditioning strategy => manual settings​ Fabric life => highly variable ​ Significant replacement cost (USD XX,000) => how to prolong life?

18

K-C Internal Use Only

Use case #3: Comparing Tissue Machine Run Settings between Felt Fabric Replacements Solution: Create a condition where a capsule = life of one fabric () OR (y > 20000 revs) OR (no data)

19

Negligible dummy value to visually differentiate capsules Refresher from high school!

If a derivative is positive, its function is increasing No change in revolutions = Machine is shut

K-C Internal Use Only

Use case #3: Comparing Tissue Machine Run Settings between Felt Fabric Replacements Solution: Use ‘Capsule View’ => overlay other signals for comparison

20

K-C Internal Use Only

Use case #3: Comparing Tissue Machine Run Settings between Felt Fabric Replacements

21

K-C Internal Use Only

Use case #3: Comparing Tissue Machine Run Settings between Felt Fabric Replacements Results: Expedited comparison of settings vs. using Excel E.g., statistical analysis: obtain with just few clicks

Easily visualize and overlay signals atop each other, vs. creating and merging multiple charts

22

vs Export from database Organise and collate data Practice data hygiene Type in formulae, etc. Use case can be set up within 10 minutes 1-2 hours to do equivalent study on Excel

K-C Internal Use Only

Use case #3: Comparing Tissue Machine Run Settings between Felt Fabric Replacements

Results: More optimal, consistent conditioning strategy => prolong life from 1 week (worst case) to >30 days Reduce spend (each fabric is USD XX,000)
