Classification: CPC D  G | IPC D  G

Claim 13:
14. A non-transitory computer-readable medium having program code that is stored thereon, the program code executable by one or more processing devices for performing operations comprising:
receiving image data for a portion of a paper web in a paper manufacturing line;
determining force data for the portion of the paper web;
accessing paper profile data for the paper manufacturing line;
accessing historical paper breakage event data, the historical paper breakage event data being derived from a set of historical paper breakage events for a plurality of paper manufacturing lines, wherein the plurality of paper manufacturing lines:
each have at least one common piece of machinery as the paper manufacturing line; and
produce paper that shares the paper profile data for the paper manufacturing line;

processing the image data, the force data, the paper profile data, and the historical paper breakage event data using at least one of a rules-based model, a machine-learning model, or an artificial neural network to generate an output comprising a prediction of an occurrence of a paper break on the portion of the paper web; and
responsive to the prediction of the occurrence of the paper break, facilitating performance of a preventative action, wherein the preventative action comprises at least one of:
modifying an operating parameter of at least one machine component used in the paper manufacturing line;
activating a cleaning component for the paper manufacturing line;
activating an alarm;
generating an alert and transmitting the alert to a computing device; or
at least temporarily ceasing production of paper on the paper manufacturing line.
