For the past twenty years, Papeterie Le Bourray, a distinguished paper mill in France’s Sarthe region, has been at the forefront of the tissue paper industry, partnering with ISRA VISION to enhance product quality and operational efficiency. Specializing in colored tissue papers and innovative cellulose tissue, Le Bourray’s integration of ISRA VISION‘s advanced Web Inspection System (WIS) in 2006 marked a significant leap in its manufacturing capabilities.
The strategic incorporation of ISRA VISION’s systems aimed to address common challenges in tissue production, such as paper breakage and the detection of minor defects like holes and stains. These robust systems have enabled Le Bourray to maintain superior quality standards, even at maximum production speeds, by providing real-time, precise inspections of every tissue sheet produced. Equipped with the industry’s fastest high-resolution cameras and sophisticated image processing capabilities, ISRA VISION’s technology ensures each product not only meets but exceeds the stringent quality standards set by Le Bourray.
A key feature of ISRA VISION’s systems is their high sensitivity and precision, essential in an industry where product integrity is paramount. The real-time monitoring capabilities allow for the instant detection and classification of defects, facilitating swift responses by operators to address potential issues promptly. This reduces waste and enhances overall productivity, proving indispensable in minimizing downtime and adapting to the challenging conditions of high humidity and temperature variations in tissue production.
The client said “We have primarily gained in quality and speed of intervention for our operators. Also in case of customer complaints, we are able to review the production history to identify and qualify the detected problem.”
Looking forward, Le Bourray updated the ISRA VISION system in PM4 in 2024 and plans to update its ISRA VISION system in PM3 in 2025 to keep pace with the evolving demands of the tissue paper market, reaffirming its commitment to maintaining leadership in high-quality tissue production.
This enduring collaboration between Papeterie Le Bourray and ISRA VISION highlights the successful integration of cutting-edge technology with traditional manufacturing processes, setting a benchmark for quality and innovation in the global paper industry.
