Abstract

JFE Plant Engineering Co., Ltd is a comprehensive engineering company of machinery, electricity and control, which was established by JFE Mechanical and JFE Electrical & Control Systems in April 2016. In the previous JFE Electrical & Control Systems, we have been working on sensor solution business related to quality control from 2004. For the paper making industry, we have developed many sensors in the finishing line for communication paper, printing paper and household paper. We are developing the inspection system that substitutes for visual inspection by acquiring information on the inspection object mainly by using a laser or a camera and performing advanced mathematical processing on it. It has been acknowledged as one of the suppliers of quality sensors for the paper making industry by proposing and developing unique methods aiming for high accuracy inspection. Through these developments, we have delivered more than 30 quality sensors for the Paper mill finishing line. In this paper, we introduce a part of the technology that we have cultivated through experience.
