Valmet presents next-generation Valmet IQ Web Monitoring System

Valmet has introduced the renewed Valmet IQ Web Monitoring System (WMS), engineered to elevate quality and operational efficiency across pulp, paper, tissue, and paper and board converting lines. The new WMS delivers exceptional image quality with the industry’s most compact camera design and market-leading LED illumination technology.

Fully integrated with Valmet DNA and Valmet DNAe, the system provides operators with a modern UI that highlights situation-critical information and enables fast defect origin tracing. Real-time insights and advanced analytics support immediate web-defect detection, reduce web breaks and unplanned downtime, and enhance overall production stability.

Smarter design for superior image quality
The renewed WMS sets a new benchmark in usability and monitoring performance. Equipped with two high-power LED light units, it delivers optimal illumination and sharper, more detailed imagery with resolutions up to 4K. The camera—the most compact in its class—is engineered for effortless installation and maintenance.

World-leading zoom pinhole optics ensure reliable operation even in harsh conditions, while an advanced thermal design boosts high-temperature resistance, reduces operating costs, and improves long-term efficiency.

Maximized performance over the entire lifecycle
A fully updated interface gives operators clearer real-time visibility of process behaviour and seamless access to recorded events, defect tracking tools, and root-cause analysis. Backward compatibility ensures an easy upgrade path, safeguarding long-term reliability and enabling customers to continuously enhance productivity.
