Come along for a remote visit to CMPC Guiba pulp mill in Brazil
Valmet took the responsibility of the shutdown planning and execution for digestor, bleaching and dryer sections for CMPC. The AR glasses assisted Field Services technicians during the maintenance in CMPC’s Line 2. The equipment enabled a detailed analysis from Valmet specialists without the need of their local presence. The virtual tool provided professionals with more security and assertiveness in the maintenance process.
