Abstract: A machine relating to papermaking is located at a production plant (100), which is equipped with a plant data system (155). A teleservice connection (189) based on a data communication link is arranged between the production plant (100) and a teleservice center (200). The condition, state and/or performance of the machine units and/or processes and/or automation systems of the production line at the production plant are monitored by monitoring systems, such as condition monitoring systems (130) and/or performance measuring systems (140) and/or quality assessment systems (150) and diagnostic units (110), in order to recognize emergency situations. An automatic service process is started in an emergency situation based on the signals given by the monitoring systems. The system includes means for bringing about the automatic service process.

Abstract: A web of paper or paperboard is manufactured by first forming a base web that is dried on the press section of papermaking machine. The base web is further dried on the dryer section of the papermaking machine and a base web speed differential, or draw, is set between the press section and the first dryer cylinder group of the dryer section, whereupon at least one surface of the web is surface sized. The draw is set to 3% maximum, and a surface size furnish is applied having a solids content of at least 15% of the total amount of size components and liquid in the furnish.

Abstract: A papermaking machine unit has a measurement system which provides performance data. The machine supplier sells maintenance and process support services at a price determined by the level of performance of the machine within a given time period. The supplier and the customer agree on a desired performance level, and the charge to the customer is set at a fixed price plus a variable price based on performance level. The amount paid to the supplier will be greater than the fixed price if performance is greater than the desired level, and will be less than the fixed price if performance is less than the desired level.
