Patent number: 11892827Abstract: The methods provide for detecting at least one operational parameter of a functional unit of the plant and calculating a current value of at least a first statistical function of the operational parameter in a current temporal window, the current value of the first statistical function defining a first coordinate of a point of current operation of the functional unit. A step is also provided of verifying whether the point of current operation is within a range of allowable values of the first statistical function, the values contained in the range of allowable values corresponding to a correct operation of the functional unit. In case the point of current operation is outside the range of allowable values, the position is determined of the point of current operation with respect to the range of allowable values and a statistical diagnosis is provided of the cause of the deviation of the current value from the range of allowable values based on the position.Type: GrantFiled: July 8, 2020Date of Patent: February 6, 2024Assignee: Fosber S.p.A.Inventors: Mauro Adami, Marco Imposti, Gianluca Berrettini

Patent number: 11858233Abstract: The method includes the step of pulling the corrugated board along hot plates by means of an upper flexible member and a lower flexible member driven by two electric motors. By at least one electric parameter of the drive motor of the lower flexible member, the correct operation of the traction device and in particular the correct ratio of the linear feeding speeds of the two flexible members is checked. The method provides an iterative check of the controlled electric parameter and a possible correction of the speed of the flexible members to maintain the desired speed ratio.Type: GrantFiled: May 12, 2022Date of Patent: January 2, 2024Assignee: Fosber, S.p.A.Inventors: Mauro Adami, Marco Imposti
