Method and system for controlling fibre moisture content in a fibreboard manufacturing process

Abstract

Examples refer to a moisture content control system and method for controlling a fibre moisture content in a fibreboard manufacturing process. The system comprises a plurality of sensors to monitor parameters of the fibreboard manufacturing process, a plurality of feedback loop controllers to adjust parameters of the fibreboard manufacturing process based on differences between pre-defined setpoints associated to the parameters and current value of said parameters and a moisture control unit. The moisture control units receives a plurality of inputs, generates, using a neural network, a prediction of the fibre moisture content at the output of the drying stage, compares the prediction with a pre-defined setpoint of the fibre moisture content at the output of the drying stage and modifies at least one setpoint associated to a corresponding input drying temperature of a respective drying unit of the fibreboard manufacturing process based on the result of the comparison.
