Production Lines
Unexpected shutdowns are costly and very demanding for the workforce involved. Make your production line smart in order to increase the availability and quality output.
Today most often technical data sheets coupled with the knowledge of a number of unique experienced individuals are used to determine when maintenance is required for the entire line and product quality only becomes an issue when customers start complaining. Repairs are done when it's already far too late. All of this puts tremendous strain on the people responsible for the production line, while it can be avoided, quite easily.
The only way to validate the actual health of the production line is by having a continuous look at a broad data set and adding a specific multi-aspect monitoring setup consisting of different sensor types that follow the behaviour of its critical components and the general state-of-health.
We understand the problems you face
Catch them before they cause greater damage!
Unexpected downtime
A damaged component means your entire production comes to a halt. Continuous monitoring of the entire line means you can isolate and fix the problem sooner rather than later.Product quality
The more perfect the material, the higher its value. A perfect control of the stress distribution throughout the line can be reached through permanent monitoring. The associated feedback loop allows generating a maximum amount of top-notch material.Operational statistics
When continuously tracking currents or vibrations, smart algorithms can determine automatically how long the line is operating under a different conditions. Live statistics give you insights into how optimally the line is used.Motor health
Uneven loading and intermittent operations put serious strain on a motor. Sensor data linked to specific operating conditions allows detecting developing problems in an early stage.Gearbox health overview
A very complex gearbox means complex problems. A permanent follow-up will help detecting misalignments or looseness in a nearly stage and will help preventing major problems as much as possibleYield optimisation
A smart sensor set helps in setting the optimal set point to begin with and to rapidly reach the perfect conditions for each run.THROUGHPUT | STRESS DISTRIBUTION | AVAILABILITY STATISTIC | OEE | STABILITY OF OPERATIONS

Performance
Based on the data collected and machine-learning based methods for determining the operational condition the performance is calculated.Quality
Coupling to existing databases or using human input fields the product quality is linked to operational process parameters.Warnings
Whenever values start to deviate, or data streams stop, warnings are sent. This avoids 'black holes' in the insights of the production line or assets.Increase availability
Have a continuous idea of availability, automatically as the platform combines different input streams and contextual information.Operational statistics
Health status
Often these statistics are available but not visible or known to all relevant stakeholders - keep people informedEvent and alerts
Keep up to date with your production lines events and alerts - know what has happenedOur Experiences
