Abstract
A system and method for generating a time-to-break prediction for a paper web in a paper machine. This invention uses principal components analysis, neuro-fuzzy systems and trending analysis to form a model for predicting the time-to-break of the paper web from sensor measurements of paper machine process variables. The model is used to isolate the root cause of the predicted web break.
