Abstract
A system is provided for the detection and control of a paper machine profile. The system is adapted to observe a physical characteristic of a moving, continuous paper web. For example, the system can observe a change in moisture content in the web, as represented by a 'wet line'. In response to observations of the physical characteristic, the system can also be adapted to adjust process controls and/or the physical composition of the web in an attempt to achieve a desired profile of the physical characteristic.
