Advanced monitoring of paper quality

The deviation of paper quality should be as small as possible in order to minimize the deviations in the quality of the final product, i.e. a book or a magazine. In this project different types of measurements are combined together to form an indicator for paper quality. Special emphasis is in taking the needs of the customer into account in the indicator.
