Radix to Demonstrate key AI and IIoT Benefits for the Pulp and Paper Industry at TAPPICon 2024
Radix, a global technology solutions company, announced its participation as a Sapphire sponsor at TAPPICon 2024, which is being held at Huntington Convention Centre in Cleveland, OH, from 28 April – 1 May 2024.
Senior executives and experts from Radix will present multiple papers, which will support this year’s conference theme, “Unleashing the Harmonies of the Paper Industry”, by demonstrating the role that AI can play in the evolution of the industry. These presentations will include participation in the New Technology Showcase that highlights the success of employing Hybrid Intelligence that consists of Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools to accomplish tag mapping in the Pulp and Paper industry providing customers with data-driven transformation at scale.
Radix will demonstrate how historical challenges, such as detecting and troubleshooting unplanned breakdown conditions during manufacturing, can be eased by using machine learning tools and techniques, which results in a much better data-driven understanding of the relationship between target output quality properties and upstream process variables. Similarly, by integrating health monitoring IoT devices into the pulp and paper process, the systems can learn equipment behavior and detect deviations that might be missed during routine inspections.
TAPPICon is a focused exhibition for the paper and pulp industry and an important platform for Radix to meet our customers and partners and share our expertise and successes with them. We are a diverse group of engineers that have the expertise of specific industries and technology, and the best solutions to deliver continuous asset performance improvement.

“At Radix, we are using data analytics to help our customers identify where their bottlenecks are, where their value waste streams are. And from those value waste streams, we help define a problem statement to find the gap and then create solutions that our customers can scale with,” Bell added.
On Tuesday, April 30th, at the “Transforming the Industry with IIoT, AI, and Digital Strategies” session, Elliott L.
