BosanskiAI Machine Vision for Paper, Pulp & Converting Lines
Reduce web breaks, catch roll defects, and automate quality control across your converting and pulp production lines – with real-time machine vision built for high-speed continuous processes.
Manufacturing Challenges
Operational Challenges and Solutions
Undetected Web Breaks and Sheet Defects
Micro-tears, pinholes, and caliper deviations go undetected by manual inspection, causing costly production downtime and customer complaints.
Inconsistent Coating and Calendering Quality
Uneven coating weight distribution and calendering irregularities compromise final product performance and lead to high reject rates at the winder.
Roll Winding and Splice Monitoring Gaps
Missed splice errors and improper roll tension during winding result in damaged reels, material waste, and delayed shipments to converters.
Reactive Maintenance on Critical Mill Equipment
Unplanned press section and dryer cylinder failures disrupt continuous paper machine operation, driving significant unbudgeted costs and production losses.
Trusted Industrial Vision Experts Delivering Automated Systems
Future Then delivers state-of-the-art machine vision and AI inspection systems tailored to demanding industrial environments.
From automated defect detection to real-time process monitoring, we combine deep technical expertise with a curated product portfolio – providing paper, pulp, and converting operations with complete vision solutions, from hardware and software to commissioning and ongoing support.
Inline Web Inspection for Continuous Paper Machines
Our high-speed line scan camera systems continuously monitor paper and board webs for surface defects including holes, dirt specks, blade streaks, and edge cracks.
Detection happens in real time at full machine speed, enabling immediate process correction before defective material reaches the winder or downstream converting stage.
Automated Roll and Reel Quality Verification
Future Then’s vision systems inspect finished rolls and reels for winding irregularities, telescoping, and core alignment errors before dispatch.
Integrated with your production data, the system logs inspection results per roll ID, giving you full traceability from pulp input through to finished reel delivery.
Coating Weight and Surface Uniformity Monitoring
Our AI-driven imaging systems detect coating streaks, skip coating zones, and gloss inconsistencies across coated board and specialty paper lines.
By catching deviations immediately after the coater, mills eliminate costly off-spec reels and reduce the volume of broke returned from sheeting and converting customers.
Predictive Maintenance on Mill Drive and Press Equipment
Thermal and visual camera systems monitor press rolls, dryer bearings, and drive components for early signs of overheating and mechanical wear. Automated alerts allow maintenance teams to schedule interventions during planned stops, avoiding unplanned paper machine shutdowns and extending the service life of critical rotating components.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the system detect web breaks early?
Our high-speed cameras identify micro-tears and edge cracks in real-time, allowing for immediate tension adjustments before a costly break occurs.
Can you monitor coating uniformity at high speeds?
Yes, our AI-driven sensors detect streaks and skip zones across the entire web width, ensuring consistent gloss and weight distribution during production.
Is the hardware resistant to dust and humidity?
Absolutely. We utilize specialized industrial enclosures designed specifically to protect cameras and lighting from the heat, moisture, and dust of paper mills.
How do you identify winding and reel defects?
The system inspects finished reels for telescoping and core misalignment at the winder, preventing damaged rolls from reaching your downstream customers.
Can the AI distinguish between different paper grades?
Our models are trained on your specific product catalogs, automatically adjusting detection parameters to handle varying textures, colors, and thickness levels.
Does the system provide full roll traceability?
Every defect is logged against the specific roll ID and synced with your ERP, providing a complete digital quality map for every reel.
Can thermal cameras prevent dryer section failures?
Thermal imaging monitors dryer bearings and cylinder hotspots, issuing automated alerts before mechanical wear leads to an unplanned and expensive machine shutdown.
