Classification: CPC D  G | IPC D  G

Claim 7:
8. A system comprising:
a non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions; and
a processing device communicatively coupled to the non-transitory computer-readable medium, wherein the processing device is configured to execute the instructions and thereby perform operations comprising:
determining moisture 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;
processing the moisture data, the force data, the paper profile data, and the historical paper breakage event data using at least one of a rules-based model or a machine-learning model to generate 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 a siren;
generating an alert and transmitting the alert to a computing device; or
at least temporarily ceasing production of paper on the paper manufacturing line, wherein the operations further comprise processing the prediction and historical preventative action success data using at least one of a rules-based model or a machine-learning model to select the preventative action.
