Monitor and improve the efficiency of production processes.
Challenge:
The company has about 150 machines equipped with PLC/PAC or CNC controllers that can provide data. About 30 machines will be connected, as the company is still growing. New production lines are installed successively. Machines, using pneumatic actuators, move, apply, transfer components, and then the finished product is assembled step by step, i.e. a DC 12V motor.
The company’s challenge is downtime, which is caused by machines that repeatedly jam and move. Support from maintenance technicians is very much needed here. It is up to the technicians to a large extent to determine how much a given machine will be in the downtime phase. It should be noted here that every minute of downtime is a loss to the company. Detection of early signs of machine failure would avoid longer downtimes. A faster response of employees to machine errors could also affect machine downtime.
Main Requirements:
- Reduced machine downtime.
