Business innovation goes hand in hand with business process innovation. Intelligent enterprises connect business processes end-to-end for better outcomes.

Hang a right at the fork and go over the levee on East Martin Street in West Monroe, and what you find might surprise you. A large building sits on a rise, then the gravel drive loops around two giant ponds with outbuildings and aerators. Egrets dot the edges, and a family of ducks swims by. With a heat index over 100 degrees Fahrenheit, the breeze off the water is cool and inviting. You might be tempted to take a dip. Do not do that -- under any circumstances. The ponds smell deceptively, well, normal. But that's raw sewage.

For the third time, renowned German business outlet CAPITAL and management consulting firm Infront have scouted the best digital innovation units in Germany. Among 50 participating corporate innovation labs, SAP Innovation Center Network was elected winner in the category "Innovation Discovery."

Newly ground yankees or newly "cast" yankees have surfaces that are microscopically sharp, porous and overly chemically excitable. There is a strong potential for corrosion.

The limitations of tissue production at the doctor blade are determined by the weakest point of the sheet blade interface. This is the point where the sheet will break, corrugate, pick or tear causing the machine slow down to run. To optimize your tissue machine, periodic doctor blade alignment is usually made, however, very few machines have also performed a Deflection Analysis.

Dryer fabric contamination can affect sheet handling, threading, and drying rate -- as well as creating sheet defects and/or sheet breaks.

Getting an optimum yankee coating has always been tricky. In the past, non-uniform CD variables such as spray boom alignment, yankee temperature and hood CD variation, hot yankee edges, moisture streaks, worn suction pressure rolls and creping doctor misalignment have always been obstacles to getting a good organic coating.

The GONIOMETER is a neglected but very important tool for diagnosing doctor blade issues in tissue mills.

MAP can be very beneficial in protecting the yankee surface and establishing a good yankee organic coating.
