Material Intelligence
for the Paper Industry

Yes. The sensors are designed so they don't disrupt ongoing operations - or can be installed during existing maintenance windows. We have experience with a wide range of plant types and discuss the installation in advance.

No problem. The system is calibrated directly to your material fractions. Our expert team develops AI models based on your real-world conditions and validates detection accuracy before commissioning. What the system can and cannot do in your specific context, we clarify transparently upfront.

From contract signing to operational readiness, typically a few weeks. This includes more than just hardware setup: AI calibration to your specific material fractions, system integration, and staff training are all included. Production continues without interruption throughout.

No. UpCircle is designed for practitioners, not specialists. The interface shows clear, actionable quality information - no technical background knowledge required. Training and ongoing support are included in the contract.

The system flags uncertain detections for human review. The final decision always lies with the operator - every classification can be confirmed, corrected, or overridden. Corrections feed directly into model improvement: the system becomes more precise for your specific materials over time.

That depends on your plant. We analyze your current situation upfront to make concrete projections. Typical levers are objective incoming documentation for supplier claims, historical quality data for better procurement negotiations, and material-optimized production in continuous operation. How that translates to numbers, we calculate together in the ROI workshop.

Our solution consists of a fixed price for hardware and modular license fees - you only pay for what you actually need. Contact us for a non-binding conversation; we'll create an individual offer based on your requirements.

Yes. The platform is modular. Most customers start with individual modules and expand step by step as they see initial results. You invest only in what you currently need.

Support, regular software updates, and continuous model improvements are included in the contract. We monitor systems remotely and reach out proactively with updates and maintenance intervals. A dedicated contact person accompanies you throughout the entire contract period.

Your operational data remains entirely your property - we use it exclusively to deliver the agreed services. Our solution is GDPR and ISO 27001 compliant. Confidential information is contractually protected on both sides. Specific requirements for data locality or OT/IT security, we're happy to discuss as part of the contract process or in our Trust Center.

Your operational data - production, plant, and process data - remains entirely your property. We use the analyses and AI insights generated by the system to continuously improve our models. This benefits you directly: a system that becomes more precise with every plant also works more accurately for you. This principle is contractually defined - you always know exactly what happens with your data.
