From predictive models to profitability in the web-handling industry
Abstract
This paper attempts to put some of the work being done by researchers in the web-handling field, including some of the papers to be presented at this conference, into a broader business context. Various ways of utilizing predictive models are discussed, ranging from troubleshooting to robust product-process design. A future-state vision for a highly effective web-handling predictive model is defined. An example consisting of the application of an analytical wound-roll stress model in conjunction with statistical methods to the robust design of a roll-winding process is described to illustrate the potential value of such an approach.
