QCS (Quality Control System) was developed in the end of 1960s, and it had come into wide use in Japan during 1970s through 1980s. Although QCS has started as a mere measuring instrument, its first installation has drastically changed the works related to the paper production. Therefore, in some cases, people even refers to QCS as, “The instrument that has altered the paper manufacturing procedure.” QCS has now become an indispensable system for manufacturing the paper in the modern days of paper production.
This report introduces technological transition of QCS focusing on recent 30 years after it has come into wide use, and also mentions on the origin and foresight of this equipment.
