Method for operating a corrugator, corrugator, computer programme product, and paper roll

Method for operating a corrugator,

• wherein the corrugator serves to produce a corrugated cardboard web and for this purpose has a number of adjustable operating parameters,
• wherein a number of paper rolls are fed to the corrugator, each with a paper web made of paper from which the corrugated cardboard web is produced,
• wherein the paper rolls are each characterized by a number of paper parameters which have individual values for each of the paper rolls, so that each of the paper rolls is individually characterized based upon its values for the paper parameters,
• wherein the operating parameters are set depending upon the values of the paper parameters, so that the production of the corrugated cardboard web is individually adapted to the respective fed paper roll,
• wherein values for the operating parameters are selected on the basis of a rule which links the values of the paper parameters with the values for the operating parameters in such a way that a quality measure for the corrugated cardboard web is influenced, in particular improved, in particular maximized,
• wherein the rule is or has been empirically determined in advance using a Big Data approach.
